Transfiguration of the Lord
Boy Scout Sunday
We’ll have lots to celebrate this Sunday, as always. This is the Sunday that we go to the mountaintop with Jesus and his friends. It’s Transfiguration Sunday. The sermon come from that story as told in Matthew 17:1-9. It’s called “Good and Better.” I know I’m showing my country roots, but I always think of Minnie Pearl when I read the Transfiguration story. When Peter says, “Lord, it’s good for us to be here!” I can’t help but think of the many times I heard Minnie Pearl, price tag dangling from her new bonnet, shout, “Law! I’m just so proud to be here!” Many times, we’re like both Peter and Minnie, focused on the present moment, especially when that moment is good. But Jesus calls us to look ahead and to believe that even better things are coming. That’s part of what we’ll explore this week in worship.
We’ll also welcome Boy Scouts from our Troop and their leaders to worship with us this week. We have sponsored this troop for many years and are happy to welcome these special guests to worship with us and to share something about their work.
I look forward to worshiping with you this week.
