Call to Worship | Psalm 99:1-3
Leader: The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake. Great is the Lord in Zion; he is exalted over all the nations.
All: Let them praise your great and awesome name—he is holy.
Song of Praise | Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee
Holy, holy, holy,
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
All the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before thee
Who was, and is
And evermore shall be
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eyes of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in power
In love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
Song of Praise | You Alone
We will sing a new song for You
Of Your power, salvation, and truth
You are the victory
You can never be moved
On our knees we will worship You, Lord
On our knees we will worship You, Lord
Here with this offering
We come into Your courts
(Chorus)
Splendor and might, beauty and light
You alone are the Lord
You alone are the Lord
Glory and strength, great is Your name
You alone are the Lord
You alone are the Lord
Trembling here at Your feet
The whole earth, the whole earth is singing
Let our idols fall worthless aside
Those glittering, treacherous lies
We come to the richness
Of the Lord God on high
Let the seas rejoice with a shout
Let the fields and the forests cry out
Creation exulting
Let us sing it out loud!
(Chorus)
Prayer of Adoration (Concluded by the Lord’s Prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Confession | From Psalm 51
Leader: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy.
All: Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
Leader: For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

Silent Confession
Words of Encouragement
The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
Prayers of the People
Song of Response | So Great Is Your Love
You are compassionate and gracious
Slow to anger, abounding in love
For as high as the heavens
Are above all the earth
(Chorus)
So great is your love
Your love for those who fear You
As far as the east is from the west
So far have you removed my sins
From me, from me
For you remember how you’ve made us
Out of earth, returning again
My life blooms like a flower
In a field, then it’s gone
(Chorus)
Offering
Greetings and Announcements
Scripture Reading | John 2:1-11
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Sermon | Bringer of Joy by Rev. Bijan Mirtolooi
Sermon Prayer
Gracious God,
I am no longer my own, but yours.
Put me to what you will, rank me with whom you will.
Put me to doing, put me to suffering.
Let me be employed by you or laid aside for you,
Exalted for you or brought low for you.
Let me be full, let me be empty.
Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to your pleasure and disposal.
And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
You are mine, and I am yours. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth,
Let it be ratified in heaven.
Amen.
Song of Response | Draw Near, Draw Water
Sing, for the day is coming
When your grief will pass away
Sing in the dark, keep humming
For the night will fold into day
Sing, for the tide is turning
And your feet will touch the sand
Sing, keep your fire burning
Lift your head, your voice, your hands
(Chorus)
Draw near, draw water
From the springs of God’s saving power
Draw near my soul
For this is your hour
Sing, for a friend might hear you
And with you lift up their voice
Sing, and a neighbor near you
Might see God and with you rejoice
Sing in the stormy weather
When you’re lost and feel far from home
Sing so you will remember
God is here and you’re not alone
(Chorus)
Sing with the stones and sidewalks
Who cry out in praise of the Name
Sing in your heart and don’t stop
Jesus Christ is coming again
(Chorus)
Song of Response | Joy Comes in the Morning
Praise you when I’m overwhelmed
Praise you in my brokenness
Praise you so I don’t forget
Who you are
Who you are
Praise you when I’ve lost my way
Praise you when I’m so afraid
Praise you ‘cause it doesn’t change
Who you are
Who you are
Chorus
Weeping may endure for the night
But joy comes in the morning
(Repeat)
Praise you when I’m empty handed
Praise you when I feel abandoned
Praise you cause I’m not alone
You see me
You see me
Praise you when the road is long
Praise you when my faith is gone
Praise you cause you hear the song
I’m singing
I’m singing
I will fear no evil
I know you are with me
Closer than I think you are
Closer than I think you are
Fighting all my battles
Lighting every shadow
Closer than I think you are
Closer than I think you are
Benediction and Dismissal
Minister: Let us go forth to serve the world as those who love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
All: Thanks be to God!
