While they were watching Jesus was changed; And they saw Moses face to face. Refrain: Come to the mountain to see the light Come to the mountain to hear God s word. Go to the valley, it is your home. Go to the valley to serve the Lord. This is my Son! said a voice from the cloud. Listen to him... and do what he says! Soon as it came... that vision was gone, And they saw Jesus standing alone. Refrain We will be changed like Jesus our Lord, And live with him... in heaven above. But while we live on this earthly home, Our work as servants never is done.

FIRST READING: 2 Kings 2:1-12 SCRIPTURE READINGS 1 Now when the LORD was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. 2 Elijah said to Elisha, Stay here; for the LORD has sent me as far as Bethel. But Elisha said, As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you. So they went down to Bethel. 3 The company of prophets who were in Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that today the LORD will take your master away from you? And he said, Yes, I know; keep silent. 4 Elijah said to him, Elisha, stay here; for the LORD has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you. So they came to Jericho. 5 The company of prophets who were at Jericho drew near to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that today the LORD will take your master away from you? And he answered, Yes, I know; be silent. 6 Then Elijah said to him, Stay here; for the LORD has sent me to the Jordan. But he said, As the LORD lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you. So the two of them went on. 7 Fifty men of the company of prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. 8 Then Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, until the two of them crossed on dry ground. 9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you. Elisha said, Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit. 10 He responded, You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not. 11 As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. 12 Elisha kept watching and crying out, Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen! But when he could no longer see him, he grasped his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 13 8 7
PSALM 50:1-6 SCRIPTURE READINGS * GREETING The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And also with you. Tone 2 1 The mighty one, God the LORD, has spoken; calling the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. 2 Out of Zion, perfect in its beauty, God shines forth in glory. 3 Our God will come and will not keep silence; with a consuming flame before, and round about a raging storm. 4 God calls the heavens and the earth from above to witness the judgment of the people. 5 Gather before me my loyal followers, those who have made a covenant with me and sealed it with sacrifice. 6 The heavens declare the rightness of God s cause, for it is God who is judge. OPENING LITANY O God, Creator of all, Let your light shine upon us. Holy One, who is enthroned on high, Let your light shine upon us. Son of God, who has come among us as the Word Made Flesh, Let your light shine upon us. Gentle Spirit, who gives life and wisdom to the people of the earth, Let your light shine upon us. O Eternal One, come now among us and guide our steps. Let your light shine upon us. CANTICLE OF PRAISE (continued at the top of page 13 >) 9 12

Hear God say to you now: Your sins are forgiven, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior. * GATHERING HYMN: Shine, Jesus, Shine ELW # 671 SECOND READING: 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 SCRIPTURE READINGS 3 Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus sake. 6 For it is the God who said, Let light shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. GOSPEL: Mark 9:2-9 2 Six 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, 3 and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no one on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Then 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. 6 He did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, This is my Son, the Beloved; listen to him! 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus. 9 As they were coming down the mountain, he ordered them to tell no one about what they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 11 10
