SENTENCE Jesus revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him. COLLECT John 2.11 Bountiful God, whose Son revealed his glory at Cana of Galilee: help us to believe and obey, so that, as our Saviour promised, we may be filled with the wine of new life and show forth his joy and love; who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. FIRST READING Isaiah 62.1-5 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah For Zion s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord,
and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 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. For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you. For the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God PSALM 29 Your unfailing kindness, O Lord, is in the heavens: and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the strong mountains: and your justice as the great deep; you, O Lord, save both man and beast. How precious, O God, is your enduring kindness: the children of Adam shall take refuge under the shadow of your wings. They shall be satisfied with the good things of your house: and you will give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the well of life: and in your light shall we see light. O continue your merciful kindness toward these who know you: and your righteous dealing to those that are true of heart.
SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 12.1-11 A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says Let Jesus be cursed! and no one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia God has called us through the Gospel to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia The Lord be with you and also with you Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ
GOSPEL John 2.1-11 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. And Jesus said to her, Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the servants, Do whatever he tells you. Now standing there were six stone water-jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water. And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward. So they took it. When the steward tasted the water that had become wine and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now. Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ PRAYERS FOR THOSE IN NEED (list renewed monthly): Denise and George Hall, Colin Burchall, Frank McFaul, Satya Ford, John Bibo, Brian Monteith, Kathy Hutchens, Leanne Barker, Lesley Tracey, Paul Finch, Louise Miller, Lily Kelcey and others known to you.
