Sunday 16th January 2022 – The Wedding at Cana Read: John 2:1-11
Jesus, his disciples, and his mother Mary were at a wedding in Cana. The wine had run out which would have been very embarrassing for the bride and groom. Mary found Jesus and explained what had happened. Jesus didn’t want to know and said it isn’t time yet. Mary told the stewards to do whatever Jesus said. Jesus told them to fill the barrels with water and to take some out to show the chief. When the chief tasted it, he was amazed – it was the nicest wine he had tasted. He was surprised because most couples serve the good wine first, but this bridegroom had saved the best for last. This was the first miracle Jesus performed, revealing his glory and the disciples all believed in him.

Where was the wedding? Who attended the wedding? What happened to the wine? Why did Mary tell Jesus? Why did Jesus not want to do anything at first? What did Jesus do? What did the chief say? Why is this miracle important?

Father in heaven watch over our loved ones.
Keep them by your side.
May they be safe and peaceful, in you may they abide.
Give wisdom to the doctors and nurses too we pray,
renew their strength and bless them for the work they do each day. Send healing and restoration and let them feel your love.
May your Holy Spirit give them rest as gentle as a dove. Amen (Taken from Praying Together)
