Sermon by Rev. Dr. Todd Grant Yonkman at First Church of Christ in Saybrook 24 December 2022

Worship Resources for Transfiguration Sunday Year A

Opening Prayer                                                                                     

Unspeakable God our words fail us. We go about our ordinary lives mostly unaware of your presence. Then suddenly you shine through, and we are dumbstruck. We’re embarrassed by our confusion, but you respond with love. This is how it is. This is our confession: you come to us, share our common lot, and invite us to join the people of your new age. Our trembling hearts answer “Yes.” So let it be.

Prayer of Dedication                                                                            

Holy God, we dedicate our lives and our offerings to your glory. Amen.
