Scripture Matthew 17:1-9                          Mary Meckenstock

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led 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 pleased. 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. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Sermon    From Babbling to Listening      Susan Murithi, Senior Pastor

Faithful Stewardship   Luke 12:34                     Mary Meckenstock

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

Congregational Prayer:  “Heavenly Father, Where our treasure is, there

our heart will be also.  Teach us to treasure what matters most—not

wealth or status, but love, grace, and generosity.  Help us to give freely,knowing that true riches are found in sharing, not storing.   Let our

giving reflect hearts anchored in heaven, and may our generosity draw

us closer to You.  Amen.”
