To sign up or have questions contact @nathan_oney or click the link in bio, then search "meal" on the top right. While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” —Matthew 17:5 The story of the Transfiguration of Christ points to the true reality of Christ, the Light of the World. It offers access through the gate of the visible to the mystery of the invisible. Its aim is to help us see beyond Jesus of Nazareth, the Galilean, to see him radically transformed, that we might see him as the Son of God. Here we come face to face with the identity we take on in our baptism. We look deeply into our vocation as disciples of this Christ. For a moment up there on the top of Mount Tabor with Jesus and Moses and Elijah and Peter and James and John we're given the power to live as disciples of Christ and to share in the promise. What a Sunday we'll have as we celebrate the Transfiguration AND the baptism of Josephine Blue (Jojo) Carducci! I look forward to worshipping with you. —Rev. Patricia Farris #transfiguration #baptism #baptismofjojoblue #santamonicaumc #messychurchsantamonica Check out this awesome new water bottle to go with our awesome new campus filtered-water fountains.
