Commission & Benediction
for Transfiguration Sunday
(Matthew 17:1-8, Mark 9:2-9, Luke 9:28-36)
Go now, and speak of what you have seen of God’s glory.
Do not cling to the holy moments
when heaven overshadows you,
but as the Lord lives, listen to Christ and follow him
from the places of revelation
to the places of mission.
And may God shine the light of glory into your hearts.
May Christ be with you and never leave you.
And may the Spirit renew the image of God within you.
We go in peace to love and serve the Lord,
........In the name of Christ. Amen.
