Handel O God, who before the passion of your only begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Ghost, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Entrance Hymn Songs of Thankfulness and Praise 1982 Hymnal #135 Opening Acclamation and Collect for Purity BCP pg. 355 (The Blue Book in the pew rack) Gloria Hymnal #S-280 (Front section of Hymnal) First Reading 2 Kings 2: 1-12 Pew Bible, Old Testament, p. 369 Psalm 50 1 2 3 The LORD, the God of gods, has spoken; * he has called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. 4 He calls the heavens and the earth from above * to witness the judgment of his people. 5 “Gather before me my loyal followers, * those who have made a covenant with me and sealed it with sacrifice.” 6 Let the heavens declare the rightness of his cause; * For God himself is judge. [ANT] Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty,* God reveals himself in glory. Our God will come and will not keep silence; * before him there is a consuming flame, and round about him a raging storm. [ANT] Second Reading 2 Corinthians 4: 3-6 Pew Bible, New Testament, p. 138 Gospel Hymn O Wondrous Type 1982 Hymnal #137 Gospel Mark 9: 2-9 Pew Bible, New Testament, p. 34 Sermon Nicene Creed Book of Common Prayer, p. 358 Prayers of the People The word of God calls us to see that all the places and occasions of the world, even places like sorrow and death, are transfigured by the presence of the glory of God in Christ Jesus. Let us now call to mind all who are in any need and commend them to God’s transforming care, saying: O merciful God, hear our prayer. For those who are alone, for widows and widowers and orphans, O merciful God: Hear our prayer. We pray for the special needs and concerns of this community. We pray for the men and women serving in the armed forces, especially those listed in our prayer list, that they and their families may be sustained by grace. We pray for our Vestry, staff and lay leaders that God may guide them in their work and ministry. And now, let us offer to God the names of those for whom we pray, either silently or aloud. The celebrant adds a concluding collect With Moses and Elijah and all the people of God, with the church throughout the ages bearing witness to the great light of God shining in dark places, we commend to you all for whom we pray, O merciful God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Confession of Sin and The Peace Book of Common Prayer, p. 360 Walk-Up Hymns For the imprisoned, for those whose only home is the streets, and for those caught by addiction, O merciful God: Hear our prayer. For the hungry, for those who cannot feed their children, and for the unemployed and underemployed, O merciful God: Hear our prayer. For refugees, for the victims of warfare, and for those held in poverty, O merciful God: Hear our prayer.

For the church and its leaders, formed by the life-giving word of Christ, O merciful God: Hear our prayer. For this assembly, feeding on the word of Christ, O merciful God: Hear our prayer.
