Transfiguration

Father in heaven,

whose Son Jesus Christ was wonderfully transfigured

before chosen witnesses upon the holy mountain,

and spoke of the exodus he would accomplish at Jerusalem:

Give us strength so to hear his voice and bear our cross in this world,

that in the world to come we may see him as he is;

where he is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. AMEN.

Church flowers are the kind gift of Geraldine and Anella Gallen.

Everyone is very welcome to St Columba’s.

If it is your first time to our church please speak to the Clergy or Churchwardens to make yourself known.
