WELCOMES YOU!!
The Second Sunday after Epiphany
20 January 2019
The Sundays after Epiphany continue to celebrate the revelation of the glory of God to us as it was made kown to the magi and to those on Jordan's banks at the baptism of Jesus----today using wedding imagery. Our God rejoices over God's people "as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride." Byh the power of the Spirit there are gifts galore for everyone. In Christ Jesus the best wine issaved for last. Taste and see.
Readings and Psalm
Isaiah 61:1-5
The people's return to Judah after the exile was marred by economic and political troubles. Nevertheless, the prophet declares, Jerusalem and Judah will be restored. God will rejoice over Jerusalem as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride; and the peope are called to the celebration.
Psalm 36:5-10
We feast jupon the abundance of your house, O Lord (Ps. 36:8)
1 Corinthians 12:1-11
The congregation at Corinth experienced division as people were comparing one another's spiritual gifts, thinking some to be superior to others. Paul invites this fractured community to trust that God's Holy Spirit has gifted them all perfectly for their mission together.
John 2:1-11
Turning water to wine at the wedding at Cana is described as the first of Jesus' signs. Through many such epiphanies, Jesus reveals that he bears God's creative power and joyful presence into the world.
