Tonight's family reading · Matatiele

The Woman at the Well — a 5-minute devotion for Matatiele families

John 4:1-30 · Water that actually satisfies

She came to draw water at noon, alone, avoiding the crowd. A tired traveller asked her for a drink, then told her everything she had ever done — and offered her water she would never thirst for again. She ran back to the town she had been hiding from.

Use this one on the Matatiele weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read John 4:1-30, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.

Memory verse

“Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.”

John 4:14

Table question

What are you thirsty for that things cannot fill?

30-second prayer

Jesus, we keep drinking from empty cups. Give us your living water tonight. Amen.

Make it stick: on the way through Matatiele tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.

Tomorrow: Jesus heals the official's son (John 4:43-54). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
