The choir sang the introit,
Emmanuel through the first time,
then were joined by the

candles at the front of the church.
The call to worship was followed
by the singing of the hymn, Jesus
Bids the Shine. The children were
asked to come to the front for their
story time. Rev. Clark had the basket
into which the pictures of the dove
were to be put.
Everyone said a prayer and the
hymn, I Know Your Light was sung
and signed. Quinton Hakkers took
the basket down to Sunday school.
Candice Abell carried the Christ
candle downstairs for their time of
worship and fellowship.
The scripture reading was John 2:
1-11, read by Myrtle Badley. The
choir anthem was, There’s a Song in
the Air.
Rev. Clark’s message to the adults
was, The Relationship Do Over.
Jesus and his parents were at a
wedding. In Jesus’ time the
weddings lasted for seven days and
the wine would run out. Mary had
faith that her son would help and
told the servants to do whatever He
said. Jesus told them to fill the six
jugs with water which was a lot
of work as the water was pulled
up out of the well by buckets.
He then told the servants to take
them to the wine server. He tasted
the water which had been turned into
wine.
Miracles just don’t happen; they
have to be worked at.
Relationships that go wrong take
work too, said Rev. Clark.
Rev. Clark told a story of a mother,
father, two boys and a baby. Father
would be waiting in the car for 20
minutes before the rest of the family
would come out. This
made him angry so he decided if he
helped with the boys and they started
20 minutes early the mother would
only have the baby and herself to get
ready and this made everyone happy
and it was a much better ride to
wherever they were going.
The next hymn was, Blessed
Assurance.
Everyone was invited for coffee
and cake to celebrate the January
birthdays.
