Sunday before Lent – Transfiguration Sunday

Collect

Almighty Father,
whose Son was revealed in majesty
before he suffered death upon the cross:
give us grace to perceive his glory,
that we may be strengthened to suffer with him
and be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory; who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

The first reading is from the Book of Exodus

The Lord said to Moses, ‘Come up to me on the mountain and stay here, and I will give you the tablets of stone with the law and commandments I have written for their instruction.’
Then Moses set out with Joshua his assistant, and Moses went up on the mountain of God. He said to the elders, ‘Wait here for us until we come back to you. Aaron and Hur are with you, and anyone involved in a dispute can go to them.’

When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud. To the Israelites the glory of the Lord looked like a consuming fire on top of the mountain. Then Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. (Exodus 24: 12-18)

This is the Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God

Psalm 2 (Pg.445)

Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Matthew

Glory to you, O Lord

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of

James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, ‘Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters – one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’

When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. ‘Get up,’ he said. ‘Don’t be afraid.’ When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, ‘Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.’ (Matthew 17: 1-9)

This is the Gospel of the Lord

Praise to you O Christ

Post Communion Prayer

Holy God,
we see your glory in the face of Jesus Christ:
may we who are partakers at his table
reflect his life in word and deed,
that all the world may know his power to change and save. This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

We want to share with you our exciting new initiat We want to share with you our exciting new initiative to help with fundraising for our new hall building. With Spring arriving and better weather on its way, we will soon be enjoying more opportunities for outdoor exercise. Plans for our new community hall are coming together and we need to start our fundraising in earnest to bring those plans to life.

Our new initiative, entitled Walk the Walk, asks you to consider donating £1 each time you take your choice of exercise, whether that be a stroll around the lake, popping out for a newspaper or delivering groceries to a house bound neighbour. It’s that simple.

All our best endeavours will help ensure that, when the pandemic restrictions are behind us, we will have contributed to the building of a great new space where we can meet up again.
