Jesus Christ is the light of the world. May your people,
illumined by your word and sacraments, shine with the
radiance of his glory, that he may be known, worshipped,
and obeyed to the ends of the earth; who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

The Story of God’s People
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 62: 1–5
read by Everod Miller
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

3. 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.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 36: 5-10 (Tone II.1)
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the hea-vens, *
and your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the strong mountains / your
justice like the great deep; *
you save both man and beast O LORD.
How priceless is your love O God! *
your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
They feast upon the abundance of your house; *
you give them drink from the river of your de-lights.
For with you is the well of life, *
and in your light we see light.
Continue your lovingkindness to those who know you, *
and your favour to those who are true of heart.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world without end A-men.
A READING FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF PAUL TO THE
CORINTHIANS 12: 1–11 read by Fiona Strachan

4. 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.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Alleluia
Cantor: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
All: Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
Cantor: I will love thee O Lord my strength:
the Lord is my rock and my fortress.
All: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And with thy spirit.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to John 2: 1-11.
All: Glory be to thee, O Lord.

5. 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.
The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.
