Reign of Christ - Liturgical Elements

Sunday Musings: King Jesus. Really?

Transfiguration Sunday

 

This Special Sunday Resources: Transfiguration, includes everything you need for worship prep and programming for Transfiguration Sunday. The resource focuses on how this ancient story weaves together with our current reality. Rooted in the Synoptic Gospel accounts of Jesus’ transfiguration and 2 Corinthians 3:12–4:2, this resource will explore:

  • Clarity in the midst of disorientation: As Jesus is transfigured, the disciples struggle to stay awake. In an overwhelming world, how do we sort through the cluttered noise to discover God’s affirmation and our divine invitation?
  • Courage to live authentically: Jesus’ transfiguration echoes the courage of all who step fully into themselves. What does it mean for us to embrace our most radiant, God-given selves?
  • Resistance to empire and injustice: Jesus is feared by the powers that be because he proclaims the good news of liberation. How do we follow Jesus beyond the mountaintop and into justice?

You’ll receive:

  • Scripture commentary
  • A complete liturgy
  • Children’s moment (including a full-color illustration and a coloring page)
  • Children’s worship bulletin
  • Curriculum for all ages
  • Materials for younger children (Bible Storytelling Video, Bible Story Booklet, and Bible Story Cards)
