It doesn’t have to be a huge event to other people; in my family, when we talk about The Camping Trip, my kids know it doesn’t mean any of the campouts they went on with the Y guides or any of their school trips.” Kate preaches on The Transfiguration for the Last Sunday after the Epiphany.

Lectionary Readings:

Exodus 34:29-35;
