The Collect of the Day

Presider The Lord be with you.

People And also with you.

Presider Let us pray.

O God, who on the holy mount revealed to chosen witnesses your well-beloved Son. Mercifully grant that we, being

delivered from the disquietude of this world, may by faith behold the Son in his beauty; who with you, O Father,

and you, O Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Word of God

Please be seated.

A Reading from the Book of Exodus Exodus 34:29-35

Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in

his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. When Aaron

and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses

called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them.

Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the Lord had spoken with him on

Mount Sinai. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; but whenever Moses went in

before the Lord to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told

the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was

shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Psalm 99, Renate McMullen Cantor

The Lord is King;

let the people tremble;

he is enthroned upon the cherubim;

let the earth shake.

The Lord is great in Zion;

he is high above all peoples.

Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome;

he is the Holy One. Antiphon.

"O mighty King, lover of justice,

you have established equity;

you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob."

Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God

and fall down before his footstool;

he is the Holy One. Antiphon.

Moses and Aaron among his priests,

and Samuel among those who call upon his Name,

they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud;

they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them. Antiphon.

O Lord our God, you answered them indeed;

you were a God who forgave them,

yet punished them for their evil deeds.

Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God

and worship him upon his holy hill;

for the Lord our God is the Holy One. Antiphon.

A Reading from the Second Letter of Peter 2 Peter 1:13-21

I think it right, as long as I am in this body, to refresh your memory, since I know that my death will come soon, as

indeed our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. And I will make every effort so that after my departure you may

be able at any time to recall these things.

For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord

Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father

when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am

well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain.

So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining

in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. First of all you must understand this,

that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by human

will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

The Gospel Luke 9:28-36

Presider The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke.

People Glory to you Lord Christ.

Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying,

the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and

Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to

accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed

awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus,

“Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah” —

not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified

as they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”

When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the

things they had seen.

Presider The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you Lord Christ.

Rally Day: September 9/10 Our annual ministry fair, what we call Rally Day, will take place following each worship service on the weekend of September 9 and 10. In addition to our usual time for fellowship, the parish hall will be set up with a series of tables highlighting the various ministries at St. Michael’s. You will find displays and information about worship life, adult formation, child formation, pastoral care, outreach, our buildings and grounds and many more! Most importantly, for all of these ministries, there will be sign-up sheets for you to serve and become involved in the life of this parish. We use this opportunity, each year, to claim our presence at St. Michael’s and to renew our commitment to serving the love of God in this place and in our community. If you are already involved in a particular ministry, and wish to continue, please sign up again! And if you want to try something new, this is your invitation! This is a very important weekend in our common life together. We hope you will join us! Family Survivors of Traumatic Loss Support Group Class
