And speaking of being Jacob's Well, here are the songs we'll sing this Sunday. /jr

Life is Life - Noah And The Whale
Revolutionary Love - David Crowder Band
Simply Enough - Me.
Mighty to Save - hillsong united (featuring a special guest!)
Everything Glorious - David Crowder (Y'all sang it so well last week we had to do it twice!)

Over the past few weeks, we've been asking people to use their communication cards to answer the question, "How are you Jacob's Well out in the world?" We think the answers are beautiful, powerful, and say a lot about who Jacob's Well is. Here's another word cloud we made from the answers we got. Reactions?

JWTF week 3 - This update is about our transition in worship leaders. Nate left in February and Justin has taken the interim role over excellently, yet we need to pause and consider just how we want music to function for us as a community as we move towards Jacob's Well 2.0.

It's not only Teacher Appreciation Week (thanks, all you teachers! keep doing it. You're making a difference) but one of our local PUBLIC schools that many of our Jacob's Well high schoolers attend was cited as our state's top public high school. Congrats! Now let's all work together and make ALL of our schools tie for that great honor.


State’s Top Public School? Mpls Southwest H.S. - CBS Minnesota
minnesota.cbslocal.com
In a city school of 1,700 students, Minneapolis Southwest High School's principal Bill Smith walks the hallways with a sense of pride -- his institution was named Minnesota's top public high school by the U.S. News & World Report.

“Pure?!? You’ve got to be kidding! I mean, no one is in favor of IMpure, butpure is so… um, Victorian. Sure I want my food, air and water to bepure, but me?” I have a feeling that lots of people react this way to this topic. So what do you think? Isit worth a look past the moralizing that typifies this conversation to what God might have in mind? Maybe it’s worth a look past our own defenses to see what God has in mind. Funny, ‘pure‘ might be something we’re actually looking for.

This past week we asked, "Where are you Jacob's Well out in the world?" We got a lot of great responses, and this word cloud gives you a pretty good idea of what we said.

So what would you add? What words jump out as beautiful, challenging, or interesting?

This JWTF week 2, and this important transition is about Dawn's temporary change as she enters a Physician's Ass't masters program at Augsburg.

The fact that we wish other people would live by these words is a pretty good sign that we ought to live by them too. Join us Sundays, April 15 - May 6 as we consider the opposite of indifference, and make a stand for some ways of life that make us different.

Let’s be Jacob’s Well in the world! We are looking for a volunteer to host a Work for Water Clean-up in October. Interested? Check this out… http://www.afors.org/

JWTF is all about some important changes happening. This week's message is about one intern leaving and another coming.

JWTF - The Interns

The prize categories for Sunday night's cupcake competition/potluck have been announced by the Jacob's Well Middle Schoolers. Game on!

The next best thing to being at camp...is being with camp people and eating some of Ray's cooking! Camp Dinner tonight at 6:30 at First Lutheran church! All middle school families invited and anyone who has a heart for camp!

Whatever . . . is Pure

It's going to be an acoustic Sunday this week, but that doesn't mean it'll be quiet. Especially if you come and sing with us! Here's the #sundaysetlist in case you're curious:

Incomplete and Insecure - The Avett Brothers
Brother Moon - Gungor
When Death Dies - Gungor again (Nothing wrong with that.)
Set a Fire - Will Reagan and the United Pursuit Band
How He Loves - John Mark McMillan

"The Threat of Resurrection"
Something about preoccupying yourself with 'whatever is noble' puts you in the backseat so that what needs to be in the frontseat can be there. But in Jesus' topsyturvy "Last shall be first" world that means you are being noble, and that puts you in the frontseat! Sometimes that is harder than hiding out in back.
Parker Palmer has some profound observations about this in this video we saw Sunday. P
