Hymn: TiS 143
1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessèd, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, your great name we praise. 2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, but ruling in might; your justice like mountains high soaring above, your clouds which are fountains of goodness and love. 3. You give life to all, Lord, to both great and small, in all life now living, the true life of all; we blossom and flourish as leaves on a tree, then wither: but ever unchanged you will be. 4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, your angels adore you, all veiling their sight; of all your rich graces this grace, Lord, impart — take the veil from our faces, the veil from our heart. 5. All praise we would render: reveal to our sight what hides you is only the splendour of light; and so let your glory, Almighty, impart, through Christ in the story, your Christ to the heart. 2
Greeting: The Lord be with you. AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4) Sentence: It is the God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4.6 Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together: God of love and peace, you know what we think and feel. Touch our hearts that our thoughts and actions may be good so that we may love you and honour you, through Jesus Christ our Lord, AMEN. The Summary of the Commandments: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’
The Confession Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness. God of mercy and grace, we have sometimes thought wrong things, and done wrong things and we have not always loved each other as we should. We are sorry. Forgive us and help us to love and obey you , through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Absolution
{Celebrant}
Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer of the Day Eternal God, our glorious King, whose Son Jesus Christ was transfigured on the holy mountain and seen in splendour by his chosen witnesses: grant us, his followers, faith to perceive his glory, to listen to him, and to walk in his way, that we may be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; for he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)
First Reading: Matthew 14:22-33 (CEV) Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and start across the lake, while he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later that evening, the boat was being tossed around by the waves. Jesus came walking on the water toward his disciples, but when they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming. Jesus said to them, "Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid." When Jesus got into the boat, the wind died down. The men in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, "You really are the Son of God!"
Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD

Psalm: 97:1-2, 11-12 1 The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice: let the multitude of islands be glad. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. 11 Light dawns for the righteous: and joy for the true of heart. 12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous: and give thanks to his holy name.

WE STAND FOR THE READING OF THE HOLY GOSPEL AS A SIGN OF RESPECT AS WE GREET OUR LORD WHO IS PRESENT IN HIS HOLY WORD. The Lord be with you AND ALSO WITH YOU The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint Mark chapter 9 beginning at the 2nd verse. GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST. Jesus took Peter, James, and John and went up on a high mountain, where they could be alone. There in front of the disciples, Jesus was completely changed. And his clothes became much whiter than any bleach on earth could make them. Then Moses and Elijah were there talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, "Teacher, it is good for us to be here! Let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." But Peter and the others were terribly frightened, and he did not know what he was talking about. The shadow of a cloud passed over and covered them. From the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, and I love him. Listen to what he says!" At once the disciples looked around, but they saw only Jesus. Gospel Response:
Alleluia
This is the gospel of the Lord PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.
(sung by choir and congregation together)

Qui carne quondam contegi Dignatus es pro perditis, Nos membra confer effici Tui beati corporis.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh for the sake of the lost, grant us to be members of thy blessed body.

Offertory Hymn: TiS 193
1. God, you are clothed with light, as with a garment fair, and in your holy sight the saints your beauty wear; the heavens and all therein express the glory of your holiness. 2. Give me a robe of light that I may walk with you: bright as the stars are bright, pure as their light is pure; whose texture sin shall never stain, but ever undefiled remain.
3. But can a sinner dare, in rags, and sore ashamed, lift up to God the prayer which now my lips have framed, while glowing seraphs fold their wings, and pour their sinless offerings? 4. O Christ, I lift my eyes; your love for me I own; in your great sacrifice remains my hope alone; the robe is mine, my soul to dress, of everlasting righteousness.
Offertory Prayer: Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation. Through your goodness we have these gifts to share. Accept and use our offerings for your glory and for the service of your kingdom. BLESSED BE GOD FOR EVER.

The wildflowers in their beauty, the mountain ranges tall, the billabongs and rivers, and friendly birds that call, All things bright and beautiful … 2. The cold wind in the winter, the bright, life-giving sun, the ripe fruits in the garden — he made them every one. All things bright and beautiful … 5. He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how great is God Almighty who has made all things well. All things bright and beautiful … 16
