In the church calendar, the Season of Epiphany remembers the coming of the wise men bringing gifts to visit the Christ child and is a time to reflect on Christ’s early years of ministry. Here are this week’s readings:
2 Kings 2:1-12; Psalm 50:1-6; 2 Corinthians 4:3-6; Mark 9:2-9
(A lectionary is a list of Bible readings, generally designed to provide a substantial reading of the Bible’s content during the course of a few years, often aligned with the seasons of the church year.)
