Song: "We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding" (NCH#182)
Song Leader: Our Gathering Hymn is "We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding".
You may remain seated.
We have come at
Christ's own bidding
To this high and holy place,
Where we wait
with hope and longing
For some token of God's grace.
Here we pray
for new assurance
That our faith is not in vain,
Searching like
those disciples
For a sign both clear and plain.
Light breaks through
our clouds and shadows,
Splendor bathes
the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice
is heard.
Eyes and hearts
behold with wonder
How the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments
drenched in brightness,
Stands transfigured and complete.
Strengthened by
this glimpse of glory,
Fearful lest our faith decline,
We, like Peter,
find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship
gives us courage to proclaim
what we profess,
That our daily lives
may prove us people
of the God we bless.

Song Leader: Please be seated.
Lay Reader: Prayer for Transformation and New Life
Lay Reader: Waiting is not always easy for us,
especially while living in a realm where instant gratification
is perceived as proof of being blessed.
You wait for us and on us often.
Help us to remember that we are to be of good courage
as we wait on you and for you.
(Brief pause for silence and self examination)
Lay Reader: Words of Grace
Lay Reader: Moses went up the mountain and waited forty days and forty nights
while The Holy One gave him the words that bring his people life.
Let us give thanks that God waits with us
no matter how long and transforms us in the waiting.

Song: "O Wondrous Sight, O Vision Fair" (NCH#184)
Song Leader: Please remain standing or rise as you are able and sing.
O wondrous sight
O vision fair
Of glory that
the church shall share
Which Christ upon
the mountain shows
Where brighter
than the sun, Christ glows
The law and
prophets there
have place,
two chosen witnesses
of grace;
The voice of God out from
the clouds
proclaims the
Human One aloud
And faithful hearts
are raised on high
By this great
vision's mystery
For which in joyful
songs we raise
The voice of prayer
the hymn of praise

Lay Reader: Scripture
Matthew 17:1-9
(NRSVue)
Lay Reader: Scripture Reading: Matthew 17:1–9 (NRSVue)
Six days later, 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 bright as light. 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 set up three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!”
When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.”
And when they raised their eyes, 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.”
Lay Reader: Scripture Response
One: This is God’s self-revealing through the stories of our people.
All: Praise be to God.

Pastor: This is the moment we’ve been waiting for.
The space and time where we get to give back to the Holy one
out of that which the Holy One has given to us.
The wait is over, now let us offer our time, talent, and treasure with joy!
While we do not pass the plates for our Offering,
we do have offering plates at the back rows of chairs as you enter the sanctuary.
Please feel free to place your offerings there.
We also have a secure way to give online by using our webpage at campbellucc.com/donate
Let us pause and reflect as you give your offerings.
(Ruth plays a short interlude)
Pastor: Patient One, receive these gifts that we could hardly wait to give you.
May they be used to meet the needs of those who have been waiting for relief.
Now let us stand and sing our thanks for our blessings.
Song: "Doxology"
Praise God from whom
all blessings flow;
Praise God
all creatures here below;
Praise God above
you heavenly host;
Creator, Christ and
Holy Ghost. Amen.

Song: "O Radiant Christ, Incarnate Word" (NCH#168)
Song Leader: Our song is "O Radiant Christ, Incarnate Word".
O radiant Christ,
incarnate Word,
Eternal love
revealed in time:
Come, make your home
within our hearts,
That we may dwell
in light sublime.
Our bartered,
busy lives burn dim,
Too tired to care,
too numb to feel.
Come, shine upon
our shadowed world:
Your radiance bathes
with power to heal.
O Light of Nations,
fill the earth;
Our faith and hope
and love renew.
Come, lead the peoples
to your peace,
As stars once led
the way to you.

Pastor: (use your own or embellish this)
Holy God, hear the prayers we have voiced and those that remain unvoiced in our hearts.
Bless us this day with lives filled with love, caring, generosity, and deep, abiding hope.
We pray that your kingdom will dwell among all people, and that we may be instruments of your love and your grace.
Holy Spirit, open our hearts with the joy of healing a world filled with brokenness and pain.
In the name of the one who taught us the ways of light and love, be in our very lives.
Amen.
Pastor: Let us now pray together the prayer that Jesus taught us:
Pastor: The Lord's Prayer
ALL: Our Father (God/Mother/Creator),
who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
ALL: Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
ALL: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us (sins/debts)
ALL: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
ALL: For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen.
(Pastor and Lay Reader move to the Communion table.)

Song: "Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life" (NCH#331)
Come, my Way,
my Truth, my Life:
such a way
as gives us breath;
Such a truth
as ends all strife;
such a life as
conquers death.
Come, my Light,
my Feast, my Strength:
such a light
as shows a feast;
Such a feast
as mends in length;
such a strength as
makes a guest.

Pastor: Communion Invitation
Pastor: Here at this Table, there is enough room, enough food, enough love for everyone.
Here at this Table, Jesus is standing up on his chair, waving his hands over his head, saying to each of you,
“I saved you a seat!”
Here at this Table, you are wanted and welcomed. You are safe and loved.
Here at this Table, you belong.
So my friends, there is no need for fear here, for this is a joyful feast.
And you are invited. All are welcome.
Pastor: Communion
Pastor: Loving God, pour out your Spirit on this Table.
Pour out your Spirit on this ordinary bread.
Pour out your Spirit on this ordinary juice.
For the thing we fear the most is distance from you,
Draw near to us here.
Saturate this room with your Spirit and this Table with your love. Amen
On the night of his arrest, Jesus took bread,
and after giving thanks to God, broke it and said,
"This is my body which is for you;
do this remembering me."
After supper, Jesus took the cup and, after giving thanks to God, said,
"This is the cup of the new covenant;
whenever you drink it,
do this remembering me."

With renewed courage, renewed hope, and renewed conviction,
send us out into the world.
Help us to feed others as you have fed us.
