Contribution and Virtual Offering Plate
We are thankful to parishioners who pledge and are mailing their checks directly to the Transfiguration office, or have set up auto payment from your bank. It is very helpful that we 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
Jan Jensen on Thursday, Lucas Krause on Friday.

Adjustments to Children’s and Youth programs due to Omicron
Due to the current surge in Covid, we have made some adjustments to our programs for children and youth for the month of January. We have temporarily suspended our in-person gatherings of the Community of Wonder (C.O.W.) and Faith Lab; and we will not be having acolytes serve at the 10:30am Sunday service. We are hopeful that we can resume in-person activities by January 30 when we will be celebrating Candlemas.
In the meantime, join us on zoom for Joyful Noise! Everyone is welcome to attend the Joyful Noise service on the Transfiguration Zoom (password 3900)- Sunday mornings at 9am. [Exception: this Sunday, January 16 there will be no Joyful Noise service, due to staff schedules]

King and Faith:
Remembering The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (Zoom)
Sunday, January 16 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Hosted by the Diocese of California and Grace Cathedral, in partnership with the Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation, this annual event gathers local and national faith leaders around a theme in Dr. King’s life and work. This year’s theme is “Toward Justice.” We will begin with prayer and follow with a conversation designed to create a space to critique, analyze and thoughtfully question assumptions about King and faith, King and community, and King and society, and to ignite greater dialogue and programs of action that will infuse the positive force of justice.

Women’s Retreat 2022

Transfiguration: February 25-27
Church of the Epiphany: March 11-13
|
Let us know if you are interested in joining us! Please complete the interest form as soon as possible: click here
Planning has started for this year’s Women’s Retreat. We are working in collaboration with the Church of the Epiphany to be able to offer the same retreat program on two different weekends. You can choose the date that works best for you to attend. To help with planning, we need to know how many people are interested in attending. If we do not have enough interest, we may need to cancel one or both of the dates. Please indicate your interest using this form.
As in the past, we will spend a relaxing weekend at the Bishop’s Ranch sharing stories, meals and building connections. The weekend begins with dinner Friday evening and concludes Sunday after lunch.
We are also looking for people to help on the retreat planning team. No experience with retreat planning is needed, just a willingness to share your ideas and time to make the weekend a restful retreat. Please contact Michele or Hailey for more information.
