8:15 Our Savior’s Divine Worship Second Sunday after Epiphany January 16, 2022 IN JESUS' NAME Pre-Service Music & Ringing of the Bells Words of Welcome Opening Hymn “O Father, All Creating” #858 O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and pow’r First bound two lives together In Eden’s primal hour, Today to these Your children Your earliest gifts renew: A home by You made happy, A love by You kept true. With good wine, Lord, at Cana The wedding feast You blessed. Grant also these Your presence, And be their dearest guest. Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heav’nly wine, And teach them, in the testing, To know the gift divine.
O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So searching in Your pureness, So tender in Your love That, guarded by Your presence And kept from strife and sin, Their hearts may heed Your guidance And know You dwell within. Unless You build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Unless You, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain. But nothing breaks the union Of hearts in You made one; The love Your Spirit hallows Is endless love begun. Lutheran Service Book #858. Invocation, Confession & Absolution P: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. P: Beloved in the Lord! Let us draw near with a true heart and confess our sins unto God our Father, beseeching Him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to grant us forgiveness. Our help is in the name of the Lord. C: who made heaven and earth. P: I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord. C: and You forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Silence for reflection and self-examination) P: O almighty God, merciful Father, C: I, a poor, miserable sinner, confess unto You all my sins and iniquities with which I have ever offended You and justly deserve Your temporal and eternal punishment. But I am heartily sorry for them and sincerely repent of them, and I pray You of Your
boundless mercy and for the sake of the holy, innocent, bitter sufferings and death of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to be gracious and merciful to me, a poor, sinful being. P: Upon this your confession, I, by virtue of my office, as a called and ordained servant of the Word, announce the grace of God unto all of you, and in the stead and by the command of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. Kyrie P: In peace let us pray to the Lord. P: For the peace from above & for our salvation let us pray to the Lord. P: For the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the Church of God, and for the unity of all let us pray to the Lord.

C: Amen OLD TESTAMENT Isaiah 62:1-5 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet, till her righteousness shines out like the dawn, her salvation like a blazing torch. The nations will see your righteousness,
and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the mouth of the LORD will bestow. You will be a crown of splendor in the LORD'S hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married. As a young man marries a maiden, so will your sons marry you; as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you. R: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. Psalm of the Day Psalm 128 (Read responsively – Reader and Congregation) R: Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in his ways. C: You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. R: Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your sons will be like olive shoots around your table. C: Thus is the man blessed who fears the LORD. R: May the LORD bless you from Zion all the days of your life; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem, C: and may you live to see your children’s children. Peace be upon Israel. ALL: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. EPISTLE 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same
God works all of them in all men. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines. R: This is the Word of the Lord. C: Thanks be to God. (Congregation stands as music begins) Alleluia, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Alleluia, alleluia. LSB page 156 – DV Setting 1 P: The Holy Gospel according to St. John, the second chapter. LSB page 157 - DV Setting 1 HOLY GOSPEL John 2:1-11 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 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 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.” This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him. P: This is the Gospel of the Lord. LSB page 157 - DV Setting 1 The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen!

The Offertory “Let the Vineyards Be Fruitful, Lord” (Congregation stands as music begins) Let the vineyards be fruitful, Lord, And fill to the brim our cup of blessing. Gather a harvest from the seeds that were sown, That we may be fed with the bread of life. Gather the hopes and the dreams of all; Unite them with the prayers we offer now. Grace our table with Your presence, and Give us a foretaste of the feast to come. LSB Hymn #955 Prayers of the Church & The Lord’s Prayer Words of Institution P: The peace of the Lord be with you always. C: And also with you. Agnus Dei Distribution of Holy Communion
Distribution Hymn "Come, Join in Cana's Feast" #408 (To the Tune of LSB #610) Come, join in Cana’s feast Where Christ is honored guest. He welcomes all who come to taste The wine His hands have blessed. The old wine now is gone From jars that stand apart. No longer can it satisfy The yearning, thirsting heart. But Christ, the Word made flesh, Bids water turn to wine. He fills our empty cups again With grace and truth divine. Come, friends, and share the feast; Here drink the wine supplied By Him who is both guest and host— For us, the crucified. For now He lives and reigns Through all eternity With Father, Spirit, Three in One, The glorious Trinity. Lutheran Service Book 408 Distribution Hymn "Arise and Shine in Splendor" #396 Arise and shine in splendor; Let night to day surrender. Your light is drawing near. Above, the day is beaming, In matchless beauty gleaming; The glory of the Lord is here. See earth in darkness lying, The heathen nations dying In hopeless gloom and night.
To you the Lord of heaven— Your life, your hope—has given Great glory, honor, and delight. The world’s remotest races, Upon whose weary faces The sun looks from the sky, Shall run with zeal untiring, With joy Your light desiring That breaks upon them from on high. Lift up your eyes in wonder— See, nations gather yonder From sin to be set free. The world has heard Your story; Her sons come to Your glory; Her daughters haste Your light to see. Your heart will leap for gladness When from the realms of sadness They come from near and far. Your eyes will wake from slumber As people without number Rejoice to see the Morning Star. Lutheran Service Book 396 Distribution Hymn "Draw Near and Take the Body of the Lord" #637 Draw near and take the body of the Lord, And drink the holy blood for you outpoured; Offered was He for greatest and for least, Himself the victim and Himself the priest. He who His saints in this world rules and shields, To all believers life eternal yields; With heav’nly bread He makes the hungry whole, Gives living waters to the thirsting soul.
Come forward then with faithful hearts sincere, And take the pledges of salvation here. O Lord, our hearts with grateful thanks endow As in this feast of love You bless us now. Lutheran Service Book 637 Post Communion Hymn Nunc Dimittis Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace according to Thy word, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people, a light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of Thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. LSB page 199-DV Setting 3 Prayer of Thanksgiving P: O God the Father, the fountain and source of all goodness, who in loving-kindness sent Your only-begotten Son into the flesh, we thank You that for His sake You have given us pardon and peace in this Sacrament, and we ask You not to forsake Your children but always to rule our hearts and minds by Your Holy Spirit that we may be enabled constantly to serve You; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. Benediction P: The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord look upon you with favor and give you peace.
