LE NOZZE DI CANA (1561) – JACOPO TINTORETTO
Now [Jesus] told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them,
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this person,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
– Luke 14:7–11

MUSIC NOTE
We thank a host of musicians from our congregation for sharing their music. Bruce Toews, of the School of Business, leads the praise band, and Brett Rowe, class of ’19 and now a graduate student, sings. We also thank our own Bethany Foster, director of music at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, who serves as guest organist.
Repetition provides emphasis, and our Psalm today speaks multiple times of God being “my rock” or “the rock of my strength” (Psalm 62:2,6,7). This psalm also twice gives instruction to wait for God or, in some versions, “silently wait for God.” As you prepare your heart to worship, I invite you to silently meditate on Psalm 62 or on the words of our hymns. Part of Hymn No.524 is given here.
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me till the end.
-Kraig Scott
