2 First English Lutheran Church 1311 East 18th St. Spencer, Iowa :45 AM Communion Praise & Worship Service Paul Kaldahl, Pastor Epiphany 2 Bonnie Kabrick, Youth & Family January 20, 2019 Karen Hargens, Keyboardist Phone: AS WE GATHER Wine has long been a sign and symbol of God s blessing. It is God who plants the vineyards and God who brings forth the fruit of the vine. Like all of His gifts, wine can be and is often abused by people. We must not let that detract from the gift. Here we see God s glory in a most surprising way. Only a few were spectators to that first miracle which Jesus did. Water became wine not just any old wine but the best. Water became wine not a token but some 120 gallons. Water became wine not simply to gladden the hearts of man but to testify to Him who has the power to do such a miracle even offer the miracle gift of salvation.

Chorus: Thank You, O my Father, for giving us Your Son, And leaving Your Spirit till the work on earth is done. AGPS #119 Holy, Holy, Holy (vs. 1-3) Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea. Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee, Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide Thee, Though the eye made blind by sin Thy glory may not see, Only thou art holy; there is none beside Thee. Perfect in pow r, in love and purity. WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS SHARING OF THE PEACE INVOCATION P: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen P: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. C: But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (Time for silence and reflection on God s Word.) 3

4 CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION P: Let us then confess our sins to God our Father. C: Most merciful God, we confess that we are by nature sinful and unclean. We have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved You with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your present and eternal punishment. For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your holy name. P: Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives you all your sins. As a called and ordained servant of the Word I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen P: The peace of the Lord be with you all. C: And also with you. PRAISE SONG SET AGPS #99 Glory Be to God on High Glory be to God on high!

Gracious Father, heav nly King, To Your name alone we sing: Praise the glory of Your name, Now and evermore the same! Jesus Christ, the Father s Son, Sole begotten, holy One, Born on earth from realms on high, Born true man for us to die, Lamb of God, You take away This world s sin: Grant peace we pray. With the Spirit, You alone Are most high, O God the Son, And the Father, God above. Praise we now Your glorious love. 4

6 FIRST LESSON - Isaiah 62:1-5 For Zion s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem s sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch. 2 The nations shall see your righteousness, and all the kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate, but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your sons marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. SECOND LESSON - 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says Jesus is accursed! and no one can say Jesus is Lord except in the Holy Spirit. 4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. 6

7 VERSE - Cares Chorus HOLY GOSPEL - John 2:1-11 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. 4 And Jesus said to her, Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come. 5 His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you. 6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, Fill the jars with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast. So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now. 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. 7

9 WORDS OF INSTITUTION Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: Take, eat; this is My body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me. In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying: Drink of it, all of you; this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. DISTRIBUTION SONGS - Glorify Thy Name 9

12 HOLY COMMUNION We ask our visitors to note that our Lutheran understanding of Holy Communion is different than that of most other churches. We have always believed that Christ's body and blood are present, in a very real way, in, with, and under the bread and wine ("This is my body... This is my blood." Matt. 26:26,28). We also believe that this eating and drinking of Christ s body and blood forgives our sins and strengthens our faith. By communing together we become united, not only in saving faith, but also in belief regarding the scriptural teachings of the Lord's Supper. Expressions of unity we feel should be honest. We love and respect other Christians who believe differently, and welcome all to worship with us. Because of our understanding of communion fellowship, we invite only members of First English Lutheran Church and those who are members of the Lutheran Church Missouri synod (LCMS) to commune here. If you are a member of the LCMS, please follow the four steps of preparation for Holy Communion, which are printed out on the white cards found in the rack on the pew in front of you. When you attend Holy Communion, please register by filling out one of the white cards and pass them to the inner aisle during the offering so that the ushers can collect it. For those who prefer, the cup in the center of the communion tray is grape juice with a drop of wine. If you do not feel secure taking the individual cup from the tray, please hold out your hand to indicate your concern and the cup will be handed to you. Small children are invited to accompany their parents if they desire to receive a blessing from the Pastor. VISITORS AND MEMBERS Sometime during the service we ask that everyone fill out one of the cards found in the pew racks so that we might have a record of your worship with us today. For our visitors we ask that you please sign our Guest Register on the table next to the front door as you leave. We are pleased to have you join us this morning as we praise our great God, and encourage you to visit us again when possible.
