UCW studies Matthew
Gordon and Nancy Folkard
welcomed worshippers at Knox
United Church on Sunday, Jan. 18,
the Second Sunday after Epiphany.
Rev. Mary Jane Hobden
welcomed everyone, prior to song
time. Hymns were Nearer My God
to Thee and Just as I am.
The call to worship read
responsively and prayer of
approach in unison were followed
by the singing of God Who Gives,
the Hymn of Praise.
Prelude piano music was by
Joanne Robinson in the absence of
Elizabeth Procter. The
congregation read the Prayer of
Confession in unison.
The youth choir sang The
Benediction Song and Arky, Arky
accompanied by Joanne Robinson
on the piano and Lila Procter
directing.
The Old Testament reading was
from Isaiah 62: 1-5. After the
singing of Jesus, Friend of Little
Children the children gathered in
the front pew for 'story time. Rev.
Hobden asked them "What does
Ministry mean and who does
ministry?" They replied, "Rev
Hobden, Joanne Robinson, senior
choir, junior choir and the whole
congregation does ministry as does
God."
The minister showed them the
logo of an unfinished quilt, with
each piece showing some aspect of
life related to Christian ministry.
Pictures illustrated people singing,
dancing, celebrating, communi-
cating with and reaching out to one
another. Each image offers a
glimpse of what Christian ministry
is truly about — healing and
reconciling actions that enable the
coming of God's Reign.
Ministry, she said, is serving the
world that God loves. Ministry is
lived out within the ordinary
activities of daily life and all
Christians are called to be

community stitch the pieces
together in their everyday life and

After prayer the children
adjourned for Sunday School.
Melanie Pletch and Tania Pletch
were in charge of nursery.
Psalm 36: 1-10 was read
responsively and the gospel lesson
was taken from John 2: 1-11. This
was followed by the singing of In
Christ There Is No East or West.
The sermon was based on the
wedding in Cana in Galilee. Jesus'
mother was there as was Jesus and
his disciples. When the wine ran
out, the servants were instructed to
get six stone water jars, each one
holding about 100 litres. Jesus told
the servants after they had filled
them with water to take them to the
man in charge of the feast. The
water turned into wine.
He called the bridegroom, saying
that everyone else serves the best
wine first, and after the guests have
had plenty to drink, he serves the
ordinary wine. The best wine was
used at the last!
"This good wine will never run
out; it is there to be shared with
each one of us," said Rev. Hobden.
Ken and Jim McCracken took up
the offering which was followed by
the singing of All That I Am.
