*Call to Worship: Psalm 128
128 Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in his ways!
2 You shall
eat the fruit of the labor of your hands;
you shall be
blessed, and it shall be well with you.
3 Your wife will be like a fruitful
vine
within your house;
your children will be like olive
shoots
around your table.
4 Behold,
thus shall the man be blessed
who fears the Lord.
5 The Lord bless you from Zion!
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of
your life!
6 May you see
your children's children!
Peace be upon Israel!
1st Reading: Isaiah 62:1-5
62 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.
2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
12 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 For 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.
*The Gospel: John 2:1-11
2 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.
