Transfiguration Sunday: this festival is a bridge between the Advent-Christmas-Epiphany cycle that comes to a close and the Lent-Easter cycle that begins the week after. On a high mountain Jesus is revealed as God’s beloved Son, echoing the words at his baptism. This vision of glory sustains us as Jesus faces his impending death in Jerusalem. We turn this week to Ash Wednesday and our yearly baptismal journey from Lent to Easter. Some churches put aside the alleluia at the conclusion of today’s liturgy. This word of joy will be omitted during the penitential season of Lent and will be sung again at Easter. - sundaysandseasons.com

Join us after worship on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. for a Mission Partners Brunch!

This Sunday (February 23), we will welcome Phil, Director of the Sharing Place for a mission partner breakfast. The Sharing Place a program of the The Foundation for Lutheran Child and Family Services, is a material assistance program and TEFAP participant providing free food and clothing to families in need. Located inside the Lawrence Education and Community Center (LECC) at 6501 Sunnyside Road. You will hear updates on the impact that this ministry is making in our community. Breakfast will be provided so plan to stay after for a discussion on food insecurity and poverty in Lawrence. The Sharing Place is changing to meet the needs. Do you know how much food they give away? Do you know how to volunteer?"

In Sunday’s reading from Deuteronomy we are called to choose life by loving and obeying God. Much of the day’s gospel reading echoes portions of the Ten Commandments. Jesus’ instructions to the crowd reveal a pattern of behavior that honors both God and the neighbor, resulting in life and health for the whole community. We too are invited to embrace these commandments, not out of fear of retribution, but because God has promised that to do so means life for us. Join us for worship on Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
