We celebrate the Transfiguration during our Sabbath Worship on Saturday February 14, with the story of Jesus’ radiant glory being proclaimed in a new and vivid way. During the sermon, our Puppet Team will proclaim the word through a blacklight presentation—revealing light, color, and meaning that aren’t always visible at first glance. It will be creative, unexpected, and deeply rooted in the mystery of God’s transforming presence among us. Come ready to see and hear the gospel in a new light
