Happy Transfiguration Sunday!

Transfiguration Sunday celebrates Jesus’ radical transformation of appearance while in the presence of Peter, James, and John, on a high mountain. This Sunday concludes the season of Epiphany. Our Epiphany series is entitled Every Shade from Dark to Light, they are precious in His sight. The series has explored the good news of light and the good news of darkness. Today we also celebrate Black History Month. Black History Month is an annual time to uplift and honor the unique contributions Black Americans have made to our country. As we uplift Transfiguration Sunday we will also celebrate the contributions Black Americans have made to the church. Come let us worship the color-filled Creator. Come let us worship the colorful Christ. Come, let us worship the color-infusing Spirit.

Our scriptures this week come from

Matthew 17:1-9NRSV

“I was in prison and you visited me.”

Mt. 25:36

We are seeking women to be pen pals to incarcerated women at the Perryville State Prison in Buckeye. The commitment is simple: one short note, card, or letter per month. Just a few words of encouragement, prayer, or Scripture can remind someone behind prison walls that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten by God. Training will be provided.

To learn more, contact Rev. Mary Bullis, revmarybullis@gmail.com
