  19. SCRIPTURE READING: Exodus 17:1-7

  20. From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the Israelites journeyed by stages, as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. The people quarreled with Moses, and said, ‘Give uswater to drink.’

  21. Moses said to them, ‘Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?’ But the people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said, ‘Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and ourchildren and livestockwith thirst?’

  22. So Moses cried out to the Lord, ‘What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.’ The Lord said to Moses, ‘Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which youstruck the Nile,and go.

  23. I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.’ Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarreledand tested theLord, saying,

  24. ‘Is the Lord among us or not?’

  25. SPECIALMUSIC “Thy Word” ~Julia Ryhal

  26. PROCLAIMING THE WORD SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 2:13-22

  27. Jesus went out again beside the lake; the whole crowd gathered around him, and he taught them. As he was walking along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And he got up and followed him.

  28. And as he sat at dinner in Levi’s house, many tax-collectors and sinners were also sitting with Jesus and his disciples – for there were many who followed him. When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax-collectors, they saidto his disciples,

  29. ‘Why does he eat with tax-collectors and sinners?’ When Jesus heard this, he said to them, ‘Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners.’ Now John’s disciples and thePharisees werefasting;

  30. and people came and said to him, ‘Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?’ Jesus said to them, ‘The wedding-guests cannot fast while the bridegroom is with them, can they? As long as they have thebridegroom withthem,

  31. they cannot fast. The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day. ‘No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worsetear is made.

  32. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.’

  33. L: This is the Word of the Lord. P: Thanks be to God!

  36. *HYMN #510“Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts” v.2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood;Thou savest those that on Thee call;To them that seek Thee Thou art good,To them that find Thee, all in all.

  37. *HYMN #510“Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts” v.3 We taste Thee, O Thou living bread,And long to feast upon Thee still;We drink of Thee, the fountainhead,And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.

  38. *HYMN #510“Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts” v.4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,Where’er our changeful lot is cast,Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
