February 19 - Transfiguration Sunday
The Rev. George Anastos
, Mark 9:2-9, Chancel Choir
Today is the last Sunday of Epiphany, and the last Sunday before Lent begins on Wednesday. Traditionally the Church has read the story of Jesus‘ transfiguration atop the mountain. At first glance it seems an odd selection to read on the Sunday before Lent year after year. Yet there is true wisdom in this choice. Something profound happens on that mountain. Jesus‘ entire focus shifts. He is no longer going to be an itinerant rabbi going from village to village on the margins of the empire, ministering to people who live on the margins. Now he will travel to Jerusalem and speak to an entirely different audience: he moves to the center, to the power, to the people who define right and wrong, rich and poor, life and death. This Sunday represents a massive shift in focus and energy.

The Rev. George Anastos,
Genesis 9:8-17, Chancel Choir
The story of God‘s promise to Noah, and by extension to all humanity, that God will never again destroy the earth through a flood is a curious one. It invites us to remember that God destroyed the earth, saving just a pair of each species. It invites us to take a second look at God and wonder, ―Um, you killed all those people, all those creatures? And you are, after the fact, saying you won‘t do it again? How comforting. Who is this God we worship? IS this the God we worship? What does this story offer us today?
