*CALL TO WORSHIP
Liturgist: On this Transfiguration Sunday, we gather on the mountaintop with Jesus, wondering what we will encounter. People: We come to encounter God’s glory revealed.
Liturgist: We witness the revelation of Christ’s divinity made plain before us. People: We come to witness God’s glory revealed.
Liturgist: We remember that God’s glory is not about spectacle but truth, not about show but about Love made real among us. People: We come to remember God’s glory revealed.
Liturgist: We follow Jesus down from the mountaintop into the valleys, as God’s glory goes before us and behind us. ALL: We come to be sent out to share God’s glory revealed. Thanks be to God! Amen.

OPENING PRAYER (Together)
Radiant God, we come to you on the mountaintop to experience your glory. You come to us in the valleys. We meet you in gladness in a place where heaven and earth collide. May our worship of you encourage us on the journey and make us aspire to reflect your kingdom in the world. Transform us and keep us near to you. Amen.
