I switched Epiphany 1 & 2. Families had been planning on baptism this week since before we went with Year W, so I’ll be reading Matthew’s story of the baptism tomorrow. Someone else remarked that Epiphany does not end with Transfiguration in this lectionary, so I look forward to hearing more about your thinking on that.
One of the fun challenges of this lectionary is that most preaching resources follow the RCL, so I have to be creative and diligent in doing my own study and exegesis to craft a message.
