“God places us in the world as his fellow workers-agents of transfiguration. We work with God so that injustice is transfigured into justice, so there will be more compassion and caring, that there will be more laughter and joy, that there will be more togetherness in God’s world.”

PRELUDE
OPENING PRAYER: (in unison)
Holy God,
We come to You from the ‘six days’ of our daily lives, laying down our burdens to find Your rest. Like Moses and the disciples, we climb this morning to meet You in the cloud.
In this mountaintop moment, transfigure our hearts. Replace the weight of our world with the weight of Your glory, that we may see Jesus clearly and leave this place ready to listen to Him. We ask this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
