During Lent, we have been using water as a central metaphor and symbol during worship, and this week we are focusing upon the water that Jesus turned into wine, at the behest of his mother, in the second chapter of John. The transformation of what is ordinary into that which is holy is manifested in the conversions of our kitchens and living rooms into sanctuaries and our dining room tables and hearths into chancel furniture.

As we’ve done before, have a separate video for each element of the celebration. Two videos were pre-recorded last week at church, and the rest come from the houses of church members and staff, some come from friends’ recommendations around the web, and one was filmed by the side of the road in Arvin, California.
Because the State of California has recommended that people over the age of 60 avoid gatherings of more than ten people, Talitha and I will be making a series of videos for you to watch instead of gathering in the sanctuary. The videos will take you through most of the elements of a Sunday morning celebration at Montclair Presbyterian Church.
