Come to the waters,

Song: "Lift Every Voice And Sing"
Song Leader: Please remain standing or rise as you are able and sing.
Lift ev'ry voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies
of liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the list'ning skies
Let it resound loud
as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith
That the harsh past
has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope
That the present
has brought us
Facing the rising sun
of our new day begun
Let us march on
till victory is won
Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chast'ning rod
Felt in the days when hope
unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which
our people sighed
We have come over a way
That with tears
has been watered
We have come
treading our path
Through the blood
of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam
of our bright star is cast
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
God who has brought us
thus far on the way
God who has by Your might
Led us into the light
Keep us forever
in the path we pray
Lest our feet stray
from the places
Our God where we met You
Lest our hearts
drunk with the wine
Of the world forget You
Shadowed beneath Your hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
true to our native land

Lay Reader: Scripture
John 2:1-11
(NRSV)
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: John 2:1–11 (NRSV)
On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it.
When 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
and 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.”
Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
Lay Reader: Scripture Response
One: This is God’s self-revealing through the stories of our people.
All: Praise be to God.

Amen
And we the redeemed

In purpose and unity
Declaring aloud
Praise and glory
wisdom and thanks
Honor and power
and strength
Be to our God

Be to our God

Be to our God

and strength
Be to our God

Be to our God

Pastor: Offering
Pastor: Whatever gifts we bring may be transformed like water to the best wine.
Trust God with what we have to offer.
Our trust can sow miracles, reveal Jesus in the world,
and magnify joy in our communities.
Give with peace that the kindom overflows with abundance
and with hope that our collective efforts make the world new.
While we do not pass the plates for our Offering,
we do have offering plates at the back rows of chairs as you enter the sanctuary.
Please feel free to place your offerings there.
We also have a secure way to give online by using our webpage at campbellucc.com/donate
Let us pause and reflect as you give your offerings.
(Ruth plays a short interlude)
Now let us sing our thanks for our blessings.
Song: "Doxology"
Praise God from whom
all blessings flow;
Praise God
all creatures here below;
Praise God above
you heavenly host;
Creator, Christ and
Holy Ghost. Amen.

Pastor: Dedication of the Offering
Pastor: Holy One, may our gifts declare your glory and benefit the common good.
Receive them with our gratitude for your generosity
and the opportunity to participate in your kindom on earth.
Amen.
Lay Reader: Prayer for Transformation and New Life
Lay Reader: Gracious God, we live in the tension between expectation and reality.
Sometimes, we navigate that tension with hope and clarity.
At other times, we fester in doubt, disappointment, and uncertainty.
Help us to release our need to control and enable us to embrace the possibilities.
May our trust in your goodness and the power you have poured into us embolden our faith.
Amen.
(Brief pause for silence and self examination)
Lay Reader: Words of Grace
Lay Reader: Beloved, know that God’s grace meets us at our point of need with encouragement.
Circumstances change, and that’s the nature of God’s creative work.
Receive the gift of new life with the unexpected experiences it brings.
God is with you and equips you for the journey.
Song: "One Voice"
Creator, we ask
of You this day
Come and heal our land
Knit our hearts together
That Your glory
might be seen in us
Then the world will know
That Jesus Christ is Lord
Let us be one voice
that glorifies Your name
Let us be one voice
declaring that You reign
Let us be one voice
in love and harmony
And we pray, O God,
grant us unity
Let us be one voice
that glorifies Your name
Let us be one voice
declaring that You reign
Let us be one voice
in love and harmony
And we pray, O God,
grant us unity
Now is the time
for you and I
To join our hearts in praise
That the name of Jesus
Will be lifted high
above the earth
Then the world will know
That Jesus Christ is Lord
Let us be one voice
that glorifies Your name
Let us be one voice
declaring that You reign
Let us be one voice
in love and harmony
And we pray, O God,
grant us unity
Let us be one voice
that glorifies Your name
Let us be one voice
declaring that You reign
Let us be one voice
in love and harmony
And we pray, O God,
grant us unity

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.

ALL: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever.

Pastor: Communion Invitation
Pastor: Jesus accepted invitations from everyone and ate at many tables.
He was not often the host, he was a guest among guests.
At this table where we remember him, we too are not the hosts.
We are all guests, all invited by Mercy, all summoned by Love.
Come, then, everyone, and enjoy Love’s hospitality.
Lay aside any need you have to be first or best,
Or to decide who is worthy to come and eat.
Just be grateful to be here, and open your hearts to praise
God, most generous and kind, the reach of your mercy is endless.
You find us all, wherever we are, and bring us to your table.
Your guest list is as unrestricted as your love.
For the gracious welcome we have all received, whether we came first or last, early or late,
with hands full of gifts, or with nothing at all,
we praise you, singing your glory for this day an forever.
Lay Reader: Responsive Communion
One: Now, O God,
we remember Jesus
All: We remember that he ate with Simon the Pharisee, with Zacchaeus the tax collector, and in Peter’s house after making his mother well
One: We remember that he ate in Bethany with Mary and Martha, and their brother Lazarus, whom he summoned from the grave.
All: We remember that he ate with the rich and poor, righteous people and sinners, friends, deniers, doubters and betrayers.
One: He told us not to take the best seats at banquets, but to defer to others; to be good guests.
Pastor: Communion
Pastor: And we remember that on the night of his betrayal,
he ate again with his disciples in an upper room.
He shared blessed bread with them, and poured out wine,
signs of his coming death, signs of a life determined to love despite the risk.
Pastor: Responsive Communion
All: Whenever we eat, with whomever we eat, as a guest among guests, we remember him. He is with us always, to the end of the age.
Pastor: Communion
Pastor: Come, Holy Spirit, Come!
Bless this bread and this fruit of the vine.
By our eating and drinking, open our hearts to other guests you are always inviting,
so that one day,
everyone who hungers will have an honored place in your house,
the best seats at your table.
Lay Reader: Communion
Lay Reader: Friends, there are a lot of tables in this world, but there is none like this one.
We have a seat saved for you.
As you come forward, please use the hand sanitizer station.
We have both regular and gluten-free elements for you to use.
If you would prefer to be served in your seat, stay seated and we will come to you.
The Table is ready, Please come.
Wait to advance to this slide until the speaking is concluded.
Communion
(The elements are shared.
Lay Reader returns to seat after all are served.)
Pastor: Communion Blessing
Pastor: Thank You, God, for inviting us to this Banquet of Life
and feeding us with the good news of Jesus and his wondrous bread and cup.
You are always glad to have us here around your family table.
Pastor: Responsive Communion Blessing
All: Help us all to notice who is missing.
Make us everybody’s neighbor.

Pastor: Benediction
Pastor: May you be filled by the presence of God
May you draw from the wells of justice, peace, and righteousness
May you taste the fruit of the Spirit
As you make the way of Jesus your path in the world
And you make the name of God known in word and deed.
Go, in peace and power to love and serve God and neighbor.
Amen!
