THE READINGS FOR THE DAY PRAYERS ARE ASKED FOR ... Today’s Readings First Reading 2 Kings 2:1-12 The vision of Elijah being taken into heaven confirms his greatness, and also encourages Elisha in his calling, giving him confidence to begin his own powerful ministry as a prophet. Second Reading 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 The glory of God is revealed in Jesus Christ, but this is only clear to those who have believed the Gospel. Gospel Mark 9:2-9 Jesus’ true nature and identity is revealed to a select group of disciples who are able – albeit only just – to recognise him for who he is. NEXT WEEK’S SERVICES ...
