But a Fountain of Living Water is for our thirsty souls. All of us are thirsty for God's love, His presence, His power. * Well water is good for soaking hard things to soften them up such as a dry sponge. But a Fountain of Living Water softens up our hard hearts so it will absorb His love. * Well water is good for putting out fires. But a Fountain of Living Water puts out fires of temptation in our hearts. All of us are tempted by Satan. * Well water is good for washing. But a Fountain of Living Water washes our hearts that are dirty from sin. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. * Well water is good for growing plants, trees and fruit. But a Fountain of Living Water makes our hearts grow and bloom with good deeds and mature fruit of the Spirit. * Well water is good for floating and swimming. But a Fountain of Living Water floats our souls all the way up to heaven. All of us want to be in heaven with God one day. * Well water is still. But a Fountain of Living Water bubbles up within our hearts and overflows into our family, friends, school mates etc. When Jesus offered living water to the woman at the well, He was offering her a new life, a Christian life. And He offers it to you and me. Do you want a Fountain of Living Water? I can't give it to you. Mom and Dad can't give it to you. The preachers in church can't give it to you. Only Jesus can give you a Living Water that lasts forever. 6. APPLICATION / ENCOUNTERING GOD: What have you been feeding your soul with? Where have you sought refuge from the bad days? Distracting yourself on the internet? Social Media? Drowning at work? God is showing us that "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again." That is, if you drink the things of this world, your thirst and your inner emptiness will never pass. The real food, rest and refreshment for our soul comes from just one place: Jesus! Encourage the children to come to the alter take time now to appreciate God's presence and drink deeply of the living water.
Jesus had made a special trip through Samaria so that she would have the opportunity to find the source of life. He waited to find her at the well. All she had to do was drink. Jesus offered her new life. Jesus offers abundant life. He came to solve the questions of her past. She understood and, leaving the pot of water, she returned to the city and told the people that she had found the source of Living Water, the Messiah. CLOSING PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please give us Your living water, although we do not deserve it. Make us fresh fountains of bubbly, living water, so we can share You with everyone. In Jesus name we pray. YORUBA TAKE HOME BIBLE VERSE:

Stop Microbes - Use Good Sanitation Key Message: Good sanitation habits prevent transmission of microbes. Possible Questions: • Do you have a latrine? • If yes, is it a communal or household latrine? • What do you use your latrine for? • Do you or your community practice any of these activities? Content: This poster illustrates the different ways to prevent illness by practicing good sanitation. A well maintained latrine will not attract flies and will stop the spread of human faeces from contaminating our food and water systems. Wastewater can be disposed of in a soak pit. A soak pit is a hole in the ground filled with gravel where water can soak into the ground safely. Standing water is dangerous because mosquitoes breed in standing water. Mosquitoes spread illnesses like malaria and dengue fever. We can help stop these illnesses by constructing and using soak pits. Protecting our water sources from animal faeces is very important. If we use a well for our water then it is best to build a fence around it to keep animals out. To prevent pools of water forming around the well, divert the spilled water away from the well, pump or tapstand. The wastewater from the well, pump or tapstand can be used to water a small garden or diverted into a soak pit. Animals can contaminate the food we grow in gardens if there is no fence to keep them out. Make a fence around the garden to protect fruit and vegetables. Burying household garbage is a good way to maintain a clean home and compound. We can help stop flies from being attracted to our garbage and lying eggs there. Check for Understanding: • How can we stop the transfer of microbes through sanitation? • What are some good sanitation habits?
