Welcome & Announcements 
 
*Call to Worship 
Disciples of Christ, today your Savior calls you to come up the mountain and pray. Will you come?
We will go wherever Jesus leads us.
Will you follow when Christ’s glory overwhelms your senses, and you sit astounded at God’s greatness?
We will go wherever Jesus leads us.
Will you follow when Jesus won’t let you stay on the mountaintop, insisting that you return to the valley where people are hurting and in need of good news?
We will go wherever Jesus leads us.
Disciples, come! Let us worship God, whose glory shines on the mountaintop and in the eyes of our neighbors.
Come, let us worship God, whose glory shimmers all around us, even now!
