Welcome to Saints Andrew & Matthias
We are located at 2415 McCann Road in the little village of Irving Michigan. In our historic (1878) brick building we use the historic King James Bible at all our services. We are traditional old fashioned Christians , using the old fashioned types of services from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. We feel it is our duty as Christians in the Church to try, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, to bring others to Christ and thereby change the world, and not to instead let the world change the Church.
Please join us for worship this week to see if you think we are the church that you have been looking for.

EPIPHANY III
The Collect The Text for This Week's Sermon
The Third Sunday after the Epiphany
The Collect
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our infirmities, and in all our dangers and necessities stretch forth thy right hand to help and defend us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
The Gospel. St. John ii. 1.
AND the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six water-pots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the water-pots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth. set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him,
The Sermon for This Week
A comedian once said that his wife and he were very happy for twenty years.
Then they met.
Even though comedians do like to make fun of marriage, there are very few occasions when families and friends gather with such great joy as at weddings.
Today's gospel story is of Christ's first miracle at a wedding feast in Cana.
St. John 2:1 “And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.”
The wedding feast was a happy occasion and Jesus, Mary, and his disciples were just a few of the guests that came for this joyful occasion.
There are two things in particular we should remember about this story.
The first thing we should remember is that Jesus came to the wedding as a guest to help celebrate this couple's beginning of their new lives together.
He didn't come to be a kill-joy, but as a friend to share in their happiness.
Some Christians over the years have gotten the mistaken impression that God wants us to be continually somber and gloomy, but Christians should of course, be the happiest people on earth.
Through Christ's sacrifice for us on the cross we are forgiven.
Through Him we are reconciled to God and are inheritors of eternal life.
That wonderful knowledge should make all Christians happy.
Secondly, we should remember from this story that Jesus used this occasion to manifest forth His glory and show His power.
He transformed the water into wine for this newlywed couple just as He can transform or change lives today.
We all in our lives, in our families and in our churches as well, have things that need His power.
There are things that are beyond our power to change on our own.
If we truly invite Jesus into our lives He can, and will, help us just as he did the newlyweds in today's story.
We have a friend in Jesus who can give us more blessings than we can ever hope for.
However, just as he was invited to that wedding in Cana, we also need to invite Him into our lives.

O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the Armed Forces of our country and those of our allies; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
