Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that, as the Scriptures are read and your Word proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen Scripture... Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:21-24... Logan Chase After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and let 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 please. Listen to him! When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown 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. Jesus asked the boy s father, How long has he been like this? From childhood, he answered. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us. If I can? said Jesus. Everything is possible for one who believes. Immediately the boys father exclaimed, I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief! Thi s i s the Word o f G od for the people of God. Thanks be to God!

Church History Thoughts: I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don t intend to waste any of mine. Neil Armstrong, (1930-2012) There are times you must devote yourself to a higher calling than personal safety. John Glenn, (1921-2016) No dream is too big for those with their eyes in the sky. Buzz Aldrin, (1930- ) Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult, someone with less ability might have your job. Jim Lovell, (1928- ) It s a great thing for a man to walk on the moon. But it s a greater thing for God to walk on the earth. Neil Armstrong, (1930-2012) Announcements Welcome to our Scout Service. You are our honored guest.
