Prelude (Kathleen Jones)
Welcome and Biblical Focus for Today’s Service
A voice said: This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.
Listen to him!
Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed.
What we do know is this:
When he is revealed, we will be like him,
for we will see him as he is.
Hymn: “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!” (Presbyterian Hymnal #142)
Prayer of Adoration and Confession
O God, in the transfiguration of your Son
you confirmed the mysteries of the faith
by the witness of Moses and Elijah;
and in the voice from the cloud
you foreshadowed our adoption as your children.
To those who seek you with a sincere heart
you reveal the beauty of your face.
God of compassion,
in Jesus Christ you reveal the light of your glory,
but we turn away, distracted by our own plans.
We confess that we speak when we should listen,
and act when we should wait.
Forgive our aimless enthusiasms.
Grant us wisdom to live in your light
and to follow in the way of your beloved Son,
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Scripture Reading:
Matthew 17:1-8 (New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition)
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became bright as light. 3 Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”6 When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. 7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” 8 And when they raised their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.
Sermon: (Gale Watkins, Pastor)
Song: “He Is Exalted” (Lift Up Your Hearts #33)
A Time of Prayer
Answers to Prayer and Prayer Requests
Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Offertory
Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Prayer
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
O Lord our God, you are great indeed, clothed in majesty and splendor,
wrapped in light as with a robe.
In the solitude of a mountain height you revealed your glory in Jesus Christ
even as he faced his crucifixion.
We praise you for this glimpse of the mystery of our redemption.
You loved the world so much that you sent your beloved Son to dwell with us.
He who bears your very image, the firstborn of all creation,
through whom all things have been created, took our flesh and suffered death
that we may be made whole.
By his death he conquered death, and by his rising he gives eternal life.
We praise you for your saving grace.
Transfigure us by your Spirit, and let your love shine in all we do and say that all the world may see the radiant light of God guiding all creation, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hymn: “Jesus Shall Reign Where’er the Sun” (Presbyterian Hymnal #423)
