In each narrative for this Transfiguration Sunday, we find something big – something almost apocalyptic – happening to move us from one way of understanding the world to another. This is why our team settled on the title “Crossing Over.” For our part as the church, we are likewise “crossing over” from one season to the next. We bid farewell to the rhythmic normalcy of Ordinary Time, with its comfortable call stories and Gospel worldbuilding, and we become reacquainted with the pain and perseverance of the Lenten journey to the cross.
