CHILDREN’S MOMENT
READING: Exodus 19:1-8
1On the third new moon after the Israelites had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that very day, they came into the wilderness of Sinai. 2They had journeyed from Rephidim, entered the wilderness of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness; Israel camped there in front of the mountain. 3Then Moses went up to God; the LORD called to him from the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the Israelites: 4You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5Now therefore, if you obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Indeed, the whole earth is mine, 6but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation. These are the words that you shall speak to the Israelites."
7So Moses came, summoned the elders of the people, and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him. 8The people all answered as one: "Everything that the LORD has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to the LORD.
PSALM: Psalm 91:9-16
9Because you have made the | Lord your refuge, and the Most High your | habitation, 10no evil | will befall you, nor shall affliction come | near your dwelling.
11For God will give the angels charge | over you,
to guard you in | all your ways.
12Upon their hands they will | bear you up,
lest you strike your foot a- | gainst a stone. R
13You will tread upon the lion | cub and viper; you will trample down the lion | and the serpent. 14I will deliver those who | cling to me; I will uphold them, because they | know my name.
15They will call me, and I will | answer them; I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue and | honor them. 16With long life will I | satisfy them, and show them | my salvation. R
HYMN OF THE DAY: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less (The Solid Rock) (597) vs. 1-2
Gospel: Mark 9:2-8
The holy gospel according to Luke
ALL-Glory to you, O Lord.
2Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. 4And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5Then Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved listen to him!" 8Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus.
The gospel of the Lord.
ALL- Praise to you, O Christ.
Sermon Pastor Katie
Hymn of the Day: My Hope is Built on Nothing Less (The Solid Rock) (597) vs. 3-4
Prayers of Intercession
Challenged by God’s Word in Christ, let us pray for the church, the world, and the whole creation.
A brief silence.
Holy One, we give thanks for all servant leaders of the church. Bless bishops, pastors, and deacons with humble wisdom and ground them in your love. God of grace,
hear our prayer.
Creative One, we give thanks for the delicate balance of the natural world. Kindle in us a spirit of caring strength in the preservation of habitats, food availability, and centers of refuge, that all wildlife may thrive. We pray Lord for the care of those affected by the recent hurricanes, cover them with your love, healing, and peace. God of grace,
hear our prayer.
Empowering One, fill the leaders of governments with a spirit of service that prioritizes those on the margins due to job loss, underemployment, unsafe working conditions, and immigration status. May economic equity be achieved for all people. God of grace,
hear our prayer.
Restoring One, send your angels to watch over, rescue, and protect those who are injured or ill. Nurse those who suffer hardship, disease, injury, or difficulty with your comfort and peace. God of grace,
hear our prayer.
Abiding One, you call pastors to shepherd the congregation toward faithful living as servants and followers of Jesus. Inspire all ordained ministers and seminarians to ministry that challenges, engages, and comforts those in their care. God of grace,
hear our prayer.
Saving One, we give thanks for the disciples James and John and all saints who have faithfully served you. We rejoice in a promised place at the feast of victory that we receive by your grace alone. God of grace,
hear our prayer.
Into your hands, O God, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in the saving grace you freely give, both now and forever. Amen.
