CALL TO CONFESSION
Let  us come before God, confessing our need to predict and understand, that we might experience God’s miracles. 
 
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
 Savior Jesus, you have come among us working wonders and signs of God’s miraculous abundance. Yet when you change the ordinary waters of our own lives into the finest of wines, our tendencies to rationalize and explain show our failure to understand you.  Forgive us when we try to shape signs of your life among us to fit our own categories. You challenge our assumptions about how the world is ordered, about what we can control, about what is rationally possible, about who you are and how we know you. Forgive us when our imaginations are too limited, our concepts too defined or our vision too small. Lord Christ, open our hearts and minds to experience the marvelous. Reveal to us your miracles of transformation and abundance as signs of your overflowing grace at work around us and within us. In your name we pray. Amen
 
ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Friends, believe the Good News of the Gospel. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God!
*Time of silent prayer.
*Passing the Peace
L: The peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you. 
P: And also, with you. 
    
*Response – Gloria Patri

Scripture reading                                                                                 JOHN 2: 1-11
Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”


6 
Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.


7 
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.


8 
Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”


They did so,
 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

11 
What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
 L: The Word of the Lord
 P: Thanks be to God !

We welcome all who have come to join us in the worship of the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Please come again.  If you are visiting with us today, please let us know that we might welcome you into our church family.

​ANNOUNCEMENTS: 


Envelopes for 2022 are in the vestibule.  There are names with new numbers.  We are using boxes from this past year, so we don’t need to buy new ones.  The DATES will be

The Annual Congregational Meeting will be held in two weeks on January 30th immediately following the Worship Service.  Please plan on staying for this very important meeting as we select new officers and discuss future plans for our church.
