This Sunday, 1/20/19

Do you know what Jesus’ first miracle was? I suppose it depends on whom you ask. In John’s gospel, there are only seven (John calls them “signs”), and the first happens when Jesus and his mother are at a wedding feast in a village called “Cana.” Everybody has heard of this miracle: turning water into wine! Sometimes we treat it as a joke, but, this Sunday, we will talk about what this miracle means and why John’s version of the story puts it first. What does it mean that almost the first thing Jesus does is to provide what it takes to keep a celebration going? What do we learn about Jesus, and about God, from this story?

Many people have been talking this week about the snow that is (probably) going to hit our area this weekend. Let me take this opportunity to let you know that Session has decided that we will cancel Sunday worship in the event of a “LEVEL 2” snow emergency. So, if you hear that we are at “LEVEL 2,” please stay at home! Also, we will be putting cancellation notices on WTVG, channel 13, and WTOL, channel 11. Finally, if you have doubts or can’t find out, please check your email (I will be sending something out if we have to cancel), or call 567.343.6479. There will be an outgoing message with the necessary information. I really do hope to see you Sunday!
