January 20th – Epiphany 2, we share worship with our friends from Kirton Methodist Church in this Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. Today we offer a Parish Eucharist at 11:00am followed by coffee.
Today’s Gospel passage is the account of Jesus changing water into wine at the wedding at Cana. For me, this Gospel passage about the wedding is not just a description of something that happened 2,000 years ago. Rather, I see the Gospel being re-enacted in the work of the followers of Christ today. What can we learn form this Gospel today as we think about unity and greater cooperation within our two Churches?
Please try to pray this prayer everyday:
God, One in Three Persons, in Christ you have made us one with you and with one another. Be with us now and by the power and consolation of the Holy Spirit, free us from the self-centredness, arrogance and fear that prevent us from striving towards the full visible unity of your Church.
