Weekly resources to enrich worship and learning – wherever you are

Preparing for 18 - 24 January 2026

Isaiah 49.1-7; Psalm 40; 1 Corinthians 1.1-9; John 1.29-42RCL Epiphany 2 Year A

Revealing the hidden

In this second ‘servant song’, we hear how God’s servant was chosen by God before birth, then hidden and prepared for the special mission of not only restoring God’s people but also being a light to all nations.

As we reflect on the readings and theme, we also reflect on our own lives. What might be currently hidden, and what is ready to be revealed so that people can see more of who God is?
