"This morning’s gospel is many things. It is an odd tale of a wedding in a place no one cared about, with people who have no names. It’s an upside down, unnecessary gift – the best wine produced at the end of the party. And it is the story of a mother who knows the world will not love her brilliant child, pushing him to reveal who he is, anyway.

The Rev. Alissa Newton text: John 2:1-11

The poem in the photograph and referenced in the sermon is "Leaks" by Leanne Simpson
