Lovely, mild Saturday,
Community Presbyterian Friends,

So, tomorrow is Transfiguration Sunday, where Jesus takes Peter, James and John “to the top of a very high mountain” and His “unveiled glory” is revealed as Moses and Elijah talk with Him.
Peter begins babbling, as he sometimes does … THEN God speaks … and the three fall to the ground stupefied with fear and awe.
I’ve worked with The Transfiguration before, or course, but this year, possibly because of my personal difficulty, the disciples’ fear and anxiety came into focus for me.
The way Jesus helped them with their fear, and got them on their feet, and down the mountain into the-rest-of-their-life destiny … seems to me helpful for all of us, as we face uncertainty, anxiety … even fear.
So, read Matthew 17:1-14 in preparation for tomorrow and join us in person or by live-stream as we worship!

I’m leaving Monday for Bethesda MD for surgery on Wednesday. Please pray for safe travel and that the surgery would be helpful to me.

Happy Saturday, Community Presbyterian Friends,

Continuing our focus from last week on “happiness” we will consider Matthew 5:14-19 wherein Jesus give His Followers an operational directive about being God’s Light in a dark world!
Also, the 2026 Olympics started yesterday, and that got me to thinking about the Olympic Flame, and what that light means and represents … and a vivid memory of Muhammad Ali lighting the Olympic Flame in 1996 came to mind.
So, light your Light tomorrow morning, and come join us as we have a de-lightfull time together worshipping and loving one another!

Beautiful but COLD Saturday,
Community Presbyterian Friends,

Tomorrow is Communion Sunday! If you are planning to join us for worship, please come with your soul prepared for our Holy Remembrance! If you plan to join us for our live-streaming worship, please prepare both your soul, and the elements!

Do you believe that you are “blessed”? … if so, why do you say that, and by whom are you blessed?
Jesus has some really odd ideas on what it means to be blessed and happy! We’ll focus on Matthew 5:1-12, “The Beatitudes” and possibly re-orient our souls-minds-lives toward God’s heart for happy life!
