Prelude Prélude and Improvisation from Suite Médiévale Jean Langlais Invitation to Ministry *Processional Hymn 420 God of Grace and God of Glory (Cwm Rhondda) God of grace and God of glory, On your people pour your power; Bless the church's loving story, bless our life to grow and flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, For the facing of this hour, For the facing of this hour. *Corporate Confession (Unison) Source of life, Spirit of Grace, We are too busy. We have no quiet center. We are too powerful. We lose touch with your power. With Jesus, may we go often to a quiet place. Then with Jesus, may we bring life and love to unquiet places. *Assurance of God's Love *Response Gloria *The Passing of the Peace Please greet your neighbors with: The Peace of God be with you. *Opening Hymn 263 Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise (St. Denio) Listening for God's Word Prayer for Illumination (Unison) Your Word, O God, is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.

Offertory For the Feast of the Transfiguration John Kuzma Jim Murphy, narrator Swiftly pass the clouds of glory, Heaven's voice, the dazzling light; Moses and Elijah vanish; Christ alone commands the height! Peter, James, and John fall silent, Turning from the summit's rise Downward toward the shadowed valley Where their Lord has fixed His eyes. Density of light that could shatter the cold rock of the moon, compacted flame that only the face of holy love could withstand may Christ reflect your blaze and melt the fear that from the orbit of my days you would scatter my dim shards to darkness. Glimpsed and gone the revelation, They shall gain and keep its truth, Not by building on the mountain Any shrine or sacred booth, But by following the Savior Through the valley to the cross And by testing faith's resilience Through betrayal, pain, and loss. Sudden lightning in the middle of the night showing me a vast land and a twisting trail are waiting where all I have seen is a wall of darkness persist in me as hope and as strength to finish my descent from the mountain through the valley toward an open field I cannot see. Lord, transfigure our perception With the purest light that shines, And recast our life's intentions To the shape of Your designs, Till we seek no other glory Than what lies past Calvary's hill And our living and our dying And our rising by Your will. Density of light compacted flame sudden lightning draw me onward through thick darkness trusting that light shall spring from the grave and the coldest rock in space shall join in a blaze of song glory, glory, glory, glory be to you O God. Glory! text by Thomas Troeger *Response 591 Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow (Doxology) Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Christ, all people here below; Praise Holy Spirit evermore; Praise Triune God, whom we adore.

Give us grace that in everything we may yield ourselves, our wills and our works, a continual thank-offering to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper Invitation to the Lord's Table Great Thanksgiving Leader: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Leader: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them to the Lord. Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give our thanks and praise.

We praise You for this table You spread in the world as a sign of Your love for all people. Joining our hearts, we find ourselves together, looking like You. Sending Your Son into our world, Your love is satisfied and our way is clear. With believers from the beginnings of time, we join in earth's great song of praise to our God: Eucharistic Prayer The Lord's Prayer (Unison) 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.
