SUMMARY:Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:The Epiphany of our Lord will be commemorated on Monday\, Jan. 5\, 2026. \nAfter focusing on the Incarnation of our Lord — God becoming flesh — during the 12 days of Christmas\, the season of Epiphany emphasizes the manifestation or self-revelation of God in that same flesh of Christ. \nTo attend a worship service\, visit locator.lcms.org/church to find a local Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation. Enter your zip code and click “Search” to see a list of area churches\, service times\, and contact information. \nIf you are homebound\, traveling\, or otherwise unable to attend a service in person\, KFUO Radio airs worship services throughout the church year. Visit KFUO.org to view the schedule and listen to services. \nFind a church near me \n\nLiturgical color for Epiphany\nWhite is the appointed color for the 12 days of Christmas\, Epiphany (Jan. 6)\, and the first Sunday following it\, which is often observed as the Baptism of Our Lord. On high festive days when white is appointed\, some churches also use gold. \n\nThree-Year Series A and One-Year Series\nScripture readings for Epiphany\n\nIsaiah 60:1–6\n\n\nEphesians 3:1–12 (or Col. 1:23–27 for One-Year Series)\n\n\nMatthew 2:1–12\n\nPsalms\n\nSeries A — Psalm 72:1–11 (12–15)\n\n\nOne-Year Series — Psalm 24\n\nLectionary summary\nThe Lord God Is Manifested in the Incarnate Son\nThe Feast of the Epiphany centers in the visit of the Magi from the East. In that respect\, it is a “13th day” of Christmas\, and yet it also marks the beginning of a new liturgical season. Where Christmas has focused on the incarnation of our Lord\, that is\, on God becoming flesh\, the season of Epiphany emphasizes the manifestation or self-revelation of God in that same flesh of Christ. For the Lord Himself has entered our darkness and rises upon us with the brightness of His true light (Is. 60:1–2). He does so chiefly by His Word of the Gospel\, which He causes to be preached within His Church on earth\, not only to the Jews but also to the Gentiles (Eph. 3:8–10). As the Magi were guided by the promises of Holy Scripture to find and worship the Christ Child with His mother in the house (Matt. 2:5–11)\, so does He call disciples from all nations by the preaching of His Word to find and worship Him within His Church (Is. 60:3–6). \n\nLCMS Worship\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\nFind a church near me

SUMMARY:Feast of the Transfiguration (One-Year Series)
DESCRIPTION:In The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod\, Transfiguration is observed on the last Sunday of Epiphany. In the One-Year Lectionary\, Transfiguration is on Jan. 25\, 2026\, and is followed by three Sundays of preparation and instruction from Jesus before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. \nOn this day\, the church recalls the event of Christ’s Transfiguration on the mountain\, revealing His divine nature to Peter\, James and John before He set His face toward Jerusalem\, where He would accomplish the world’s salvation by His death and resurrection for us. \nWhere Transfiguration is the last service before Septuagesima (which means about 70 days before Easter)\, many congregations say farewell to the word “Alleluia.” As Judah would not sing their songs in the land of exile (Psalm 137)\, so the church sets aside our simplest word of joy and praise — until we take it up again in triumph on Easter: “Alleluia! Christ is risen; He is risen indeed\, Alleluia!” \nTo attend a worship service\, visit locator.lcms.org/church to find a local Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation. Enter your zip code and click “Search” to see a list of area churches\, service times\, and contact information. \nIf you are homebound\, traveling\, or otherwise unable to attend a service in person\, KFUO Radio airs worship services throughout the church year. Visit KFUO.org to view the schedule and listen to services. \nFind a church near me \n\nLiturgical color for Transfiguration\nWhite\, the color of light\, purity and completeness\, adorns the altar to commemorate the Transfiguration of Our Lord. On the mountain\, Christ’s face and clothes shone white as light (Matt. 17:2). In His light we see light and by Him\, “though our sins be as scarlet\, they shall be white as snow.” Christ’s incarnation and His resurrection\, His Gospel and its message to all nations are cause for our rejoicing. His purity before His Father becomes our purity. White reinforces this message of joy. \nWhite is also the appointed color for the Epiphany (Jan. 6) and the first Sunday following it\, which is often observed as the Baptism of Our Lord. It is also the color of Easter. On high festive days when white is appointed\, some congregations also use gold. \n\nOne-Year Series\nScripture readings for Transfiguration\n\nExodus 34:29–35 or Exodus 3:1–14\n\n\nPsalm 2\n\n\n2 Peter 1:16–21\n\n\nMatt. 17:1-9\n\nLectionary summary\nJesus Is Transfigured and Manifests His Glory\nThe Lord appeared to Moses in the light of the burning bush (Ex. 3:1–14). Later Moses’ face would shine with the light of God’s glory when he came down from Mount Sinai (Ex. 34:29–35). At the Transfiguration\, Moses and Elijah appeared with the One who is the Light of Light Himself (Matt. 17:1–9). Jesus’ glory as God shines with brilliant splendor in and through His human nature. By this epiphany\, our Lord confirmed the prophetic word (2 Peter 1:16–21)\, revealing that He is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. He manifested His majesty as the eternal Son of the Father\, and He wonderfully foreshowed our adoption as sons (Collect). We who have been baptized into Christ’s body are given a glimpse of the glory that we will share with Him in the resurrection on the Last Day. \n\nLCMS Worship\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\nFind a church near me

SUMMARY:Feast of the Transfiguration (Three-Year Series A)
DESCRIPTION:In The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod\, Transfiguration is observed on the last Sunday of Epiphany. In the Three-Year Lectionary\, Transfiguration is on Feb. 15\, 2026\, which is three days before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. \nOn this day\, the church recalls the event of Christ’s Transfiguration on the mountain\, revealing His divine nature to Peter\, James and John before He set His face toward Jerusalem\, where He would accomplish the world’s salvation by His death and resurrection for us. \nWhere Transfiguration is the last service before Ash Wednesday\, many congregations say farewell to the word “Alleluia.” As Judah would not sing their songs in the land of exile (Psalm 137)\, so the church sets aside our simplest word of joy and praise — until we take it up again in triumph on Easter: “Alleluia! Christ is risen; He is risen indeed\, Alleluia!” \nTo attend a worship service\, visit locator.lcms.org/church to find a local Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation. Enter your zip code and click “Search” to see a list of area churches\, service times\, and contact information. \nIf you are homebound\, traveling\, or otherwise unable to attend a service in person\, KFUO Radio airs worship services throughout the church year. Visit KFUO.org to view the schedule and listen to services. \nFind a church near me \n\nLiturgical color for Transfiguration\nWhite\, the color of light\, purity and completeness\, adorns the altar to commemorate the Transfiguration of Our Lord. On the mountain\, Christ’s face and clothes shone white as light (Matt. 17:2). In His light we see light and by Him\, “though our sins be as scarlet\, they shall be white as snow.” Christ’s incarnation and His resurrection\, His Gospel and its message to all nations are cause for our rejoicing. His purity before His Father becomes our purity. White reinforces this message of joy. \nWhite is also the appointed color for the Epiphany (Jan. 6) and the first Sunday following it\, which is often observed as the Baptism of Our Lord. It is also the color of Easter. On high festive days when white is appointed\, some congregations also use gold. \n\nThree-Year Series A Lectionary\nScripture readings for Transfiguration\n\nExodus 24:8-18\n\n\nPsalm 2:6-12\n\n\n2 Peter 1:16-21\n\n\nMatthew 17:1-9\n\nLectionary summary\nGod Manifests His Glory in the Body of Christ Jesus\, Transfigured for Us by His Cross\nThe Transfiguration confirms “the prophetic word … to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place” (2 Peter 1:19). The divine glory of Jesus is manifested in the word of His apostles\, who were “eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16). “He was transfigured before them\, and his face shone like the sun” (Matt. 17:2). Moses and Elijah witnessed the fulfillment of the Old Testament in this Lord Jesus\, and the Father testified concerning Him: “This is my beloved Son\, with whom I am well pleased” (Matt. 17:5). By His own blood\, shed on the cross\, Jesus makes and seals the new covenant with us. Hence\, “the appearance of the glory of the LORD” is no longer “like a devouring fire” (Ex. 24:17)\, but it is graciously revealed in His own body. As “Aaron\, Nadab\, and Abihu\, and seventy of the elders of Israel” went up the mountain with Moses and “beheld God\, and ate and drank” (Ex. 24:9\, 11)\, we also behold the Lord our God in Christ Jesus\, and we abide with Him as we eat and drink His body and blood at the altar. \n\nLCMS Worship\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\nFind a church near me

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Ash Wednesday\, which will be commemorated on Feb. 18\, is the beginning of Lent and\, if Sundays are omitted\, is 40 days before Easter. \n\n\n\nAsh Wednesday begins the church’s annual season of penitence\, traditionally marked by fasting\, almsgiving and prayer. In the LCMS\, congregations often offer additional services in the week where the Word is preached and the Sacrament offered. \n\n\n\nAs the name suggests\, many congregations practice the ceremony of the imposition of ashes on this day. Ashes are a symbol of mortality and repentance\, since “the wages of sin is death” (Rom. 6:23). When the pastor places them on the penitents\, often in the shape of a cross\, he speaks a sobering reminder: “Remember that you are dust\, and to dust you shall return” (Gen. 3:19). \n\n\n\nWe ourselves will not overcome the temptations of Satan\, our sinful flesh and death\, but Christ our champion will. Throughout the coming season\, we will watch as He endures and overcomes the devil with his works and ways\, suffers willingly for our sakes\, and redeems us by His blood and Passion. Faith trusts in Him and believes\, even from the ash heap\, that “a broken and contrite heart\, O God\, you will not despise” (Psalm 51:17). \n\n\n\nIf you are homebound\, traveling\, or otherwise unable to attend a service in person\, KFUO Radio airs worship services throughout the church year. Visit KFUO.org to view the schedule and listen to services. \n\n\n\n\nFind a church near me\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiturgical color for Ash Wednesday and Lent\n\n\n\nOn Ash Wednesday\, the altar is adorned with violet or with black. The calendar calls for black only twice — Good Friday and Ash Wednesday. There is no mistaking the message of this somber color: Black is the absence of light. Ash Wednesday calls for sober reflection on the outcome of sin\, and Good Friday on the price of our redemption. \n\n\n\nWithout Christ’s sacrifice on the day the sky turned dark and hid the light of the sun\, there would be no bright Light of Christ to live in\, nor new life in Christ to enjoy. Yet we do not grieve as others do\, without hope (1 Thess. 4:13). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThree-Year Series A\n\n\n\nScripture readings\n\n\n\n\nJoel 2:12–19\n\n\n\nPsalm 51:1-13 (14-19)\n\n\n\n2 Corinthians 5:20b–6:10\n\n\n\nMatthew 6:1–6\, 16–21\n\n\n\n\nLectionary summary\n\n\n\nReturn to the Lord Your God with All Your Heart\, for He Has Reconciled You to Himself\n\n\n\nOn Ash Wednesday\, we come down from the mountain with Jesus and set our face toward His cross and Passion in Jerusalem. We make our pilgrimage with Him by way of repentance\, and thus we return to our dying and rising in Holy Baptism. Christ Jesus\, “who knew no sin\,” became our sin\, so that by His death we are released from sin and in His resurrection we “become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21). As God has thereby reconciled the world to Himself in Christ\, “now is the favorable time; behold\, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). He has provided the sacrificial Lamb\, and He has left “a blessing behind him\, a grain offering and a drink offering” (Joel 2:14) in the Eucharist. He summons us to return to Him with all our heart because He is “gracious and merciful\, slow to anger\, and abounding in steadfast love” (Joel 2:13). We do so with faith and confidence in Him\, and so we pray to Him as our Father\, give to the needy from a heart of love\, and fast for the sake of repentance (Matt. 6:3–4\, 6\, 17–18). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne-Year Series\n\n\n\nScripture readings\n\n\n\n\nJoel 2:12–19 or Jonah 3:1-10\n\n\n\nPsalm 51:1-13 (14-19)\n\n\n\n2 Peter 1:2–11\n\n\n\nMatthew 6:(1-6)16-21\n\n\n\n\nLectionary summary\n\n\n\nReturn to the Lord Your God with All Your Heart\, for He Has Reconciled You to Himself\n\n\n\n“Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people” (Joel 2:15–16). Lent\, with its corporate fast\, begins today. “Remember that you are dust\, and to dust you shall return” (Imposition of Ashes\, from Gen. 3:19). “Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger” (Jonah 3:9). We know. Faith believes that\, for Christ’s sake\, “a broken and contrite heart\, O God\, you will not despise” (Psalm 51:17). He is “gracious and merciful\, slow to anger\, and abounding in steadfast love” (Joel 2:13); therefore\, we do not hesitate to return to Him “with all [our] heart\, with fasting\, with weeping\, and with mourning” (v. 12). He raises the dead\, as we shall see in 40 days’ time. Satan opposes such reconciliation and life. He would twist our discipline into self-serving pride (Matt. 6:1–12)\, leading us into unbelief and unfruitfulness until we fall from the Lord’s “precious and very great promises” (2 Peter 1:4\, 8). For this reason\, our Lenten discipline not only gives something up but also takes up the sustenance and exercise of faith: hearing His Word and turning from ourselves — to God in prayer and to our neighbor with charity. “Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue\, and virtue with knowledge\, and knowledge with self-control\, and self-control with steadfastness\, and steadfastness with godliness\, and godliness with brotherly affection\, and brotherly affection with love” (v. 5–7). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLCMS Worship\n\n\n\n\nlcms.org/worship\n\n\n\nWorship planning resources\n\n\n\nSubscribe to monthly resources email\n\n\n\n\n\nFind a church near me
