CALL TO WORSHIP Isaiah 49.1-5, 10 Hazel Hensley
One I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.
Many HE LIFTED ME OUT OF
THE PIT; HE SET MY FEET ON A
One He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.

TRUST IN THE LORD.
One Blessed is the man or woman who makes the Lord their trust,

You planned for us, no one can recount to You;

One I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak openly of your
faithfulness and salvation.
Many I DO NOT CONCEAL YOUR
LOVE

What Is Epiphany?
Epiphany is the Christian celebration of the appearing of Christ,
from the Greek word epiphanes which means “appearing.”
The key Christian symbol for this celebration is light, as in John 1.9:
“The true light that gives light to every person was coming into the world.”
And the emphasis of the Epiphany season is on missions.
