This Sunday, August 30

The Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

at 10:00am Transfiguration will join our friends at Church of the Epiphany for their streamed Eucharist.

Melanie Donahoe will be Presiding and Hailey McKeefry-Delmas will preach. Rebecca Robinson and Michele Maia will participate in readings & prayers and Kathleen Villa will offer the prelude and postlude on harp. Hope that you can attend! This brings our two communities together to worship and also gives our staff a break from planning and leading the service.

We give thanks for the hospitality and support of our friends and neighbors at Church of the Epiphany, particularly in our time of transition.

Contribution and Virtual Offering Plate

At this time we are asking that parishioners who have pledged try to mail their checks directly to the Transfiguration office, or set up auto payment from your bank. It is very helpful if we can continue income at this time as we seek to create connections to each other and maintain parish life. If you are not a pledger at Transfig, please do use our ‘virtual offering plate’ on the front page of our website to make a contribution to our work as you are able.

Happy Birthday

Michele Charles this past Monday, Anne Ellis on Tuesday, Ashlyn O'Keefe on Thursday.

Construction is moving along!

Faith Formation Zoom

Are you interested in making a difference in our community? Do you have a garden or have you thought of starting one? Come and learn about Good News Gardens—a movement started by the Episcopal Church to provide food to those in need while addressing food justice. You don’t need a big plot of land or experience in gardening; even planting a pot of herbs or adding an extra container to your patio garden can help our community. We will be having an informational meeting September 1 at 5:30 pm in the Faith Formation zoom room, password: 2020. You can learn more about the Good News Gardens movement here: https://episcopalchurch.org/good-news-gardens. If you have any questions please contact Michele Maia, michele@transfig-sm.org

Joyful Noise Storytelling

A delightful ministry looking for new members

Do you have a favorite Bible story? Do you love telling or listening to stories? If you answered yes, please consider becoming a Joyful Noise storyteller! Every Sunday at our Joyful Noise service at 9:15 am we gather on zoom to tell Bible stories and sing songs. The stories are simple, just 3-5 minutes, and the audience is cuter than a box of kittens! No special skills are needed, just the desire to share a story with some of our youngest children. You can choose your own story or I can provide you with a story and script. Please contact Michele Maia, michele@transfig-sm.org to join this joyful ministry.

Disco Bingo Party!

Sunday, September 6, 4:30 pm

Faith Formation Zoom

Back by popular demand, our very own disco DJ, Silvio Del Rosso, is hosting Disco Bingo Night for all! Get ready to boogie and play some bingo. Join us Sunday, September 6 at 4:30 in the Faith Formation zoom room for fun and prizes. Everyone is welcome to play! RSVP is needed so we can get your lucky bingo cards to you.
