INVITATION TO INVITE - One of the most effective tools for
growth in congregations is the simple invitation by a member to
another, whether that other be family, friend, colleague or someone
we meet in passing. You are therefore invited to invite. Now is

Psalm 99
Awesome God
1 The LORD is King;
let the people tremble; *
he is enthroned upon the cherubim;
let the earth shake.
Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from Heaven above
With wisdom, power and love,
Our God is an awesome God.

3 Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; *
he is the Holy One.
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
O God, who before the passion of your only-begotten Son revealed
his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by
faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our
cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
First Reading
Exodus 24:12-18
A Reading from the Book of Exodus
The LORD said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and wait
there; and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the
commandment, which I have written for their instruction.” So Moses set
out with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of
God. To the elders he had said, “Wait here for us, until we come to you
again; for Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute may go to
them.” Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the
mountain. The glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud
covered it for six days; on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the
cloud. Now the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like a
devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of
4 “O mighty King, lover of justice,
you have established equity; *
you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.”
5 Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God
and fall down before his footstool; *
he is the Holy One.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests,
and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *
they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *
they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them.
8 “O LORD our God, you answered them indeed; *
you were a God who forgave them,
yet punished them for their evil deeds.”
9 Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God
and worship him upon his holy hill; *
for the LORD our God is the Holy One.

Second Reading
2 Peter 1:16-21
A Reading from the Second Letter of Peter
For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to
you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been
eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God
the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory,
saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.”
We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with
him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully
confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in
a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your
hearts. First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture
is a matter of one’s own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came
by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke
from God.

The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Six days after Peter had acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, the Son of the
living God, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John
and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. And he was
transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became dazzling white. Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and
Elijah, talking with him. Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us
to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one
for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, suddenly a
bright cloud overshadowed them, they fell to the ground and were
overcome with fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up
and do not be afraid.” And when they looked up, they saw no one except
Jesus himself alone. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus
ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man
has been raised from the dead.”

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Our generous God
hears us when we pray; therefore, let us pray, “Hear us, O God;
Save us, O God.”
You know your Church, O God. You know that because of fear and greed, we are
slow to offer the first fruits of our hearts. Forgive us and come quickly to help us.
Silence
Hear us, O God;
Save us, O God.
You know the hearts of mortals, O God. You know that we are prone to hatred and
division. Yet, you make no distinctions, but only love. Help us to be more like
you.

Hear us, O God;
Save us, O God.

You know we are quick to exploit your creation, O God. You know we take the
blessings of this life for granted. Forgive us and come quickly to help us.
Invite the congregation to add their thanksgivings, followed by silence
Hear us, O God;
Save us, O God.
You know our temptations, O God. You know we are not as strong as we think we
are. Give us your strength. Forgive us and come quickly to help us.

Hear us, O God;
Save us, O God.
You know our weaknesses, O God. You know we struggle in our pain; we suffer
and experience trouble. Come quickly to help us.

Save us, O God.
In you, O God, do we put our trust. We entrust to you our dead because you alone
are our refuge and salvation. You alone are mighty to save.
