*Call to Worship (Psalm 99:1-3, CEB)... Amy Abshire

The LORD rules—the nations shake! God sits enthroned on the winged heavenly creatures—the earth quakes! The LORD is great in Zion; God is exalted over all the nations. Let them thank Your great and awesome name.   God is holy!

Prayer for Transfiguration Sunday (UMH #259)... Amy Abshire

Holy God, upon the mountain You revealed our Messiah, who by His death and resurrection would fulfill both the law and the prophets. By His transfiguration enlighten our path that we may dare to suffer with Him in the service of humanity and so share in the everlasting glory of Him who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever. Amen.
