February 26 , Last Sunday after Epiphany: Last Sunday before Lent

 (Sexagesima—60 days before Easter.)

                             Transfiguration of Jesus.

             Clicking on one of the readings below will bring up that Bible reading .

           Psalm 27 1 Kings 19:9-18; 2 Peter 1:16-19(20-21); Mark 9:2-9 

 

Today we celebrate the Transfiguration of Jesus. The Transfiguration of our Lord, is a celebration of the moment that Christ, in the company of Moses and Elijah, literally shined His glorious divine nature on Peter, James, and John, leaving them dazed and awestruck. It is an ancient custom in the Christian Church that a "Farewell to Alleluia" be sung at the close of the last Worship Services on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally "alleluia" is not sung in the Worship Services until Easter Sunday early Worship Service, symbolizing our voluntary restraint of praise during the penitential Season of Lent.


 


Let us pray for: peace in our world. The members of Christian Peacemaker Teams who are being held hostage in Iraq The famine stricken African countries of Niger, Mali, Mauritania and Burkina Faso, the troubled lands of Africa (especially Liberia, Cote d’Ivoire [former : Ivory Coast ] and Sudan) and the people of Guyana. We also pray for The Archbishop of York John Sentamu, Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, Diocesan Bishop John Croneberger, his wife, and assistant Bishop Carol Gallagher. We remember in prayer Hazel Carter, Francis Coleman, Carolyn Goodwin, Eula Jefferson, Louise Meggett, Janice Nugent, Rudolph Perry, Tony Pina, Victoria Sawyer, Amanda Scott, Rev. Mildred J. Solomon, and Aquinda Toppins. Finally, with the Church throughout the ages we pray: “Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!”
