To Be Transfigured 

SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 2026 AT 10AM PST


Guest Preacher, Rev. Dr. Jane Spahr


What if the glory we're waiting for is already shining through us? Presbyterian trailblazer, Janie Spahr, preaches on Job's cosmos and Mark's mountain — where Transfiguration means seeing what was always true: dazzling glory, holy mountains, and the light hidden in ordinary flesh. Holy Communion.

Job: 38:4, 14, 16, 24, 33 


[God answered Job from the whirlwind, saying:] 

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?


14 [Have you ever robed the Dawn in red?]


16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea

  or walked in the recesses of the deep?


24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed

  or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?


33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?

  Can you establish [the heavens'] rule on the earth?


Mark 9:2-8


Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain apart, by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became dazzling bright, such as no one on earth could brighten them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; let us set up three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 6 [Peter] did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud there came a voice, “This is my Son, my Beloved; listen to him!” 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more, but only Jesus. 



Matthew 18:20 


[Jesus said]

"For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”

“God Reposing on the Sabbath.
By Rev. Joann Lee July 19, 2026
God does not create for the sake of creating. Rather, God creates in order to enjoy, relate, connect, and abide in love with all that is created. Sabbath allows us to enjoy and rest in that love.
A rainbow sunset overlooking mountains, the text reads - Sabbath means freedom
By Guest Preacher Rev. Dr. Joanne Whitt July 12, 2026
“Observe the Sabbath day, and keep it holy,” says Deuteronomy's version of the Ten Commandments. Does that sound like one more religious rule that’s too hard, or at least, too inconvenient, to take seriously? Or might an intentional break from our hectic lives be a path to freedom?
Queen Esther seeking permission to speak, mosaic by Lilian Broca
By Rev. Victor Floyd July 5, 2026
The "morning after" our country’s 250th, we turn to a similar would-be dynasty with its own ancient treasury scandal, arbitrary system of discrimination, and freewheeling corruption. As in Queen Esther's time, we live somewhere between our nation's promises and betrayals. And yet miracles still find us!
