God of compassion, in Jesus Christ, you reveal the light of your glory, but we turn away, distracted by our own plans. We confess that we speak when we should listen and act when we should wait. Forgive our aimless enthusiasms. Grant us wisdom to live in your light and to follow in the way of your beloved Son.

SERMON "The Why" Rev. Drumheller
† AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The Apostles' Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
† THE PEACE
One: The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Many: And also with you.

THE OFFERING OF TITHES AND GIFTS TO GOD (Text 267-367-4910 to give)
ANTHEM Jesus, Take Us to the Mountain Carl Schalk Jesus, take us to the mountain, where, with Peter, James, and John, we are dazzled by Your glory, light as blinding as the sun. There prepare us for the night by the vision of that sight. What do You want us to see there, that Your close companions saw? Your divinity revealed there fills us with the selfsame awe. Clothed in flesh like ours You go matched to meet our deadliest Foe. What do You want us to hear there, that Your dear disciples heard? Once again, the Voice from heaven says of the Incarnate Word: "Listen, listen, everyone, this is my beloved Son!" Take us to that other mountain where we see You glorified, where You shouted "It is finished!" where for all the world You died. Hear the stunned centurion: "Truly, This was God's own Son!" We who have beheld Your glory, risen and ascended Lord, cannot help but tell the story, all that we have seen and heard; say with Peter, James, and John: "You are God's beloved Son!"

LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
One: The gifts of God for the people of God. Many: Let us keep the feast.
