This Sunday, you are welcome to join our church community online worship service at 10:00 am JST via Zoom through our usual link. We had hoped to gather in person this Sunday at our regular worship space, but the rising cases of the omicron variant has made that risky. So we will only be gathering online, through Zoom, at 10 am. We welcome friends and members from around the world to join us as we continue to worship remotely. You may be distant geographically, but you are as close as our hearts and prayers. We will keep you informed via email and updated website posts concerning which future services can be held in person. We hope to be able to have at least one in-person hybrid worship service per month.

Rev. Dr. Jim Sack will be preaching this Sunday on the Wedding in Cana. It was here that Jesus did the first of 
his “signs” in John’s Gospel. When we go to look at the meaning of this event, we see that the Glory of Jesus is revealed, especially to his close disciples. The sermon title will be “Fine Wine in Time.”

The Lessons that we will be referencing are:
Psalm 36:6-11
John 2:1-11

Our hymns for this coming Sunday:

# 173 — Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
# 189 — Fairest Lord Jesus
# 463 — Lord, Speak to Me

Kazuko will be playing the organ for us and Ruth will be bringing a children’s message. Thank you to everyone who helps to make our worship services come together each week.

We are very thankful that our little community church can keep on going even in the midst of difficulties. Many friends keep contributing to our worship services and to our parishioner connections. We appreciate everyone’s prayers, financial support and weekly acts of service as we help each other in doing the work of the Kingdom.
