Prayer:
A Celebration of Worship
Transfiguration Sunday
February 15th, 2015
Help us to listen carefully - not just with our ears, but with
our heart, as Jesus did - so that we, too, may know Your
strengthening as we leave the mountaintop for the daily
routine.
欢迎和通告
Silence, As We Prepare Our Hearts For Worship
静默，用我们的心准备敬拜
(gathering words will be followed by a time of silence,
ending with the chiming of the singing bowl)
帮助我们仔细的聆听，并不仅仅是耳朵去听，更是用心去听，正如
基督所做的-当我们离开山顶回到日常生活中，更懂得了你的坚定。
We gather this prayer with the one Jesus taught:

Gathered In The Light
聚集在光下
Introit: 祭文
(in English and Chinese)
在敬拜上帝的时候，天堂和人间之间的面纱似乎变薄了，我们听到
了你的爱的低语，听到了你的目的，听到了你对创造物的期盼。

Sometimes in worship, God, the veil between heaven and
earth seems somehow thinner, and we hear Your voice
whispering of Your love, Your purpose, and Your desire for
all creation.

The church is wherever God’s people are praising,
singing God’s goodness for joy on this day.
The church is wherever disciples of Jesus
remember his story and walk in his way.
The church is wherever God’s people are helping,
caring for neighbours in sickness and need.
The church is wherever God’s people are sharing
the words of the Bible in gift and in deed.
