PRAYER OF ADORATION (From Psalm 36:5-10)
Gracious and eternal God,
your lovingkindness cannot be contained by the heavens
and your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds;
your righteousness stands like the mightiest mountains
and your judgements are like the deep ocean.
And yet, Lord God,
you save humanity and all creation alike;
how precious is your lovingkindness.
Gracious and eternal God,
you offer safety to all humanity;
all are refreshed in the abundance of your house,
and from the stream of your delights you invite all to drink.
Indeed, with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we
see light.
Extend your lovingkindness to those who know you,
and your actions for setting things right to those with a godly
heart.

Six stone water jars arranged above and behind the altar are a feature of the church at Cana
celebrating the first of Jesus' signs. This might offer a springboard for imagining ways of connecting creatively with the text today. Perhaps the simplest might be a (glass) jug of water placed at a focal point in the worship space. |
