Sunday, August 6, 2023 – the Transfiguration of Our Lord

Masks are not required, although some people continue to wear them to services–you’re welcome at the Nativity, whatever decision you make for yourself!

You can join the service, live or later, via YouTube. The live-stream begins at about 9:45 am, and the service begins at 10 am. You will also be able to watch or re-watch the stream on YouTube at this link at any later time.

The order of service is available here. It includes the readings, responses, and the words to the hymns–helping you to join in as fully as possible via the live-stream.

Today is a Holy Day in the Church–we commemorate the Transfiguration of Jesus. Here’s what Sundays and Seasons writes about this Sunday and the gospel we’ll hear: Witnesses to the glory of God in the face of Jesus reflect that glory in the world. It was true for Moses. It was doubtless true for Peter, James, and John. We pray that it will be true of all of us who see God’s glory in the word and in the supper and who are being “transformed into the same image” by God’s Spirit.
