About the gathering theme

"Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one
who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said,
'Out of the believer's heart shall flow
rivers of living waters.'"
 
John 7:37b, 38

At "Come to the Waters" we will celebrate the life-giving waters of our baptism and recall Jesus' words in John 7. We come to the water — and to the gathering — and drink in all that Jesus offers: love, wholeness, forgiveness, grace — and Bible study, speakers, community, service, and worship. We then go forth to love and serve the Lord with rivers of living waters to share with others.

As you go forth from the gathering remembering your baptism, consider the many ways in which you can share living waters with the world. Visit our "get involved" section of the Web; read articles in our publications; and keep your eyes, ears, and heart tuned to the world and God's Word and you will find many ways and places to share living waters.
