Morning Prayer (The Book of Alternative Services)
Sentence
Jesus manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. John 2:11
Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
Come, let us worship God our King.
Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.
Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.
Holy God,
holy and mighty,
holy immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
The Invitatory
The Lord is our light and our life: O come, let us worship.
The Venite (BAS Page 49)
Come, let us sing to the Lord;
Let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great king above all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, and the heights of the hills are his also.
The sea is his for he made it, and his hands have moulded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, and kneel before the Lord our maker.
For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
Psalm 36:5-10
5 Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, * and your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the strong mountains, your justice like the great deep; * you save both man and beast, O Lord.
7 How priceless is your love, O God! * your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast upon the abundance of your house; * you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the well of life, * and in your light we see light.
10 Continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, * and your favour to those who are true of heart.
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and will be for ever. Amen.
The Proclamation of the Word
A Reading from Isaiah
Isaiah 62:1-5
62For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for
Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and
her salvation like a burning torch. 2 The nations shall see
your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a
new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a
royal diadem in the hand of your God.4 You shall no more be
termed Forsaken, and your
land shall no more be termed Desolate;* but you shall be called My
Delight Is in Her, and your
land Married; for
the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a
young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
so shall your God rejoice over you.

John 2:1-11
2On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ 4And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.’ 5His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ 6Now standing there were six stone water-jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7Jesus said to them, ‘Fill the jars with water.’ And they filled them up to the brim. 8He said to them, ‘Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.’ So they took it. 9When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom 10and said to him, ‘Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.’ 11Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
The Gospel of Christ. People: Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.
The Sermon Annette Procunier
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
