Gree�ng

L: Maybe this is not a mountaintop, but God is here.

P: Maybe we cannot go back and walk up that mountain with Jesus

and the disciples and see him transfigured, but he is s�ll here with

us.

L: This is a holy place, a sacred place, hallowed by the presence of

God,

P: and the prayers and praise of God's people for a century! God is

with us.

L: God is here.

P: The Transfigured One is here.

ALL: He can transfigure us.

*Hymn #144 -This is My Father’s World

Opening Prayer

Gracious God, help us to hear your call to journey up the mountain.

Help us to be open to the new visions you set before us, the ways

you might be calling us to change. Grant us your presence and your

Spirit, that we might know that whether we are on the heights of

the mountain or the depths of the valley, we are never alone. We

pray in the name of the one who knew mountaintop and valley:

Jesus, our Savior and Friend. Amen.

Lenten Small Group

Daytime and Evening Classes Available

Join us to read and discuss "I Am A Church Member" by

Thom S. Rainer. The book is a journey of rediscovering the

privilege and joy of church membership, a journey through

six pledges which are about the joy of being last instead of

first, the joy of being a unifier rather than a complainer, the

joy of being a servant rather than being entitled. All are welcome to attend.

Deb Angerman will lead the daytime class on Wednesdays from 11:30am to

1pm now through March 26th.

The evening class will meet on Wednesdays at 7pm beginning March 12th.

Joyce Kenneson will lead the evening group.

Joys and Prayer Concerns

Morning Prayer

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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass

against us. And lead us not into tempta�on, but deliver us from evil. For

thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Offering & Offertory

God of Moses and Elijah, of Christ and the disciples, we, too, could build you

booths, but you would not be pleased. We could bring you burnt offerings,

but you do not want them. You ask us to do jus�ce, to love mercy, and to

walk humbly with you. We come now before you, with these offerings and

giPs, and with our lives. We place ourselves into your service. Take us and

accept us, women and men, young and old. Use us for your good purpose

of bringing your Kingdom to all people on earth; through Jesus Christ our

Lord.

Holy Communion

necklace so it can be dedicated and worn during Lent. If you don’t have one,

*Benedic�on

Go in peace, and may the God who has shone in your hearts the light of the

knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ be with you

always.
