Clicking

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!”
