Change Can Be Scary

On the second Sunday of Lent, we leave the wilderness and follow Jesus to the mountain top for a challenging experience. Here we witness a miraculous change in Jesus and with that change we see what happens with the unexpected. We watch the disciples experience a mix of emotions - fear excitement, wonder, confusion.


Have you ever witnessed someone go through a transformation? What kind of change was it? A good change? A concerning change? How did you respond?


Join us this Sunday as we follow Jesus up the mountain top where he is transformed and reminds us we too can be transformed by the Spirit and love of God.

Blessed are the Peacemakers
