Over a decade ago, I preached in Washington, DC, and during the sermon, I asked, “Can I get a witness?” The church responded with amens, laughter, raised hands, and smiles—feedback that was both encouraging and thought-provoking. It made me wonder: were they simply reacting or truly committing to be witnesses? Today’s Growing Together theme reflects on Matthew 17’s story of Peter, James, and John witnessing Jesus’ transfiguration—a moment to testify to the world about His glory. Join us in our year-end communion worship service as we are reminded of our call to be witnesses for Jesus.
