Go Figure

This Sunday the church celebrates the festival of the Transfiguration of Our Lord.  We'll hear the gospel from Luke 9:28-43.

I suspect that this story of the Transfiguration of Our Lord is ultimately as much about a transformation of the disciples as it is about the transfiguration of Jesus.  I love the way God interrupts Peter and basically tells him to stop talking, stop doing, stop worrying and take time to listen to Jesus. Sometimes I think we need to stop and listen more than we do.

As you read Romans 12 in preparation for our Faith Formation Forum this Sunday, consider the following:

1. What does it mean to be transformed?
2. What is the goal of transformation?
3. What should motivate us to undergo transformation?
4. What does one do in order to experience transformation?

Meanwhile, I encourage you to be a congregation this Sunday. Congregate! Come together to participate in worship and fellowship. Assemble as brothers and sisters in Christ. While you are at it, invite a friend or relative to come and see.

Heads Up!

Ash Wednesday Services, February 10th at 11:00 and 7:00.  I'll also be at the Starbucks at Target on Ash Wednesday from 1:00 to 3:00 for Ashes on the Go.  If you are unable to attend one of the services, drop by and say hello.
