Jesus met the woman at the well . . .

While a water incident during Lent is great food-for-thought, especially on the Woman at the Well Sunday, 21 days with minimal pipe water is pushing the metaphor. They tell us that the pump in the field is broken, that's why the water has been so scarce. Interestingly enough the boss downtown knows nothing of a broken, non-functioning pump, in our district. May the power of your prayers over come the shake down for cash that accompanies such water shortages. For many of our people they are bone-dry, and this morning one member of staff arrived with his five gallon bucket begging water, only to turn our pipe on and clouded water trickled out. We too are at the bottom of the tank (barrel). Pray, pray!

A Thousand Words . . .

Napoleon Bonaparte is attributed with saying, "A picture is worth a thousand words." These before and after shots of Elon's Painting Project - St Mary's All Age School - speak volumes.

ELON UNIVERSITY - Spring Break Visit

Fr Gerry Waterman, Catholic Campus Minister at Elon University, and twelve students have chosen to spend their spring break with us in Above Rocks. Here Team Elon pose for a picture on the steps of St Mary's after the 11am Sunday Mass. Elon will work with St Mary's All Age Students, Grade Six students, in preparation for the GSAT (Grade Six Achievement Test) which they will sit this Thursday and Friday. Elon's afternoons willpick up where Duke left off - putting a coat of paint on St Mary's All Age. More pictures can be found in the bottom right hand of their web page.

DUKE UNIVERSITY

As we approach the First Sunday of Lent and sit on the eve of the Road to the Final Four, we say good bye to Duke Team Jamaica. Fr Michael Martin, Catholic Campus Minister, and sixteen students just finished a week of service here at St Mary's and Missions. Below you will see them pose for a photo before the newly painted walls of St Mary's All Age - they have left their mark here in Above Rocks, and we look forward to their videos and photos that they promise to send by email chronicling their week of service. Go Blue Devils and God's Speed Duke Team JAM!
