St. John's Lutheran Church - Des Moines, Iowa

The readings for today bring us to the mountaintop where we receive a glimpse of God’s glory revealed in dazzling light. Transfiguration Sunday bridges the first part of the church year (Advent/Christmas/Epiphany) to the next, which will soon begin on Ash Wednesday. As we enter the season of Lent, this vision of the splendor and brightness of God’s presence will sustain us until we proclaim “alleluia” on Easter morning. Matthew 17:1-9
