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.

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.
