I will be out of town this week at the Association of Anglican Musicians Conference in Boston. Rob Carty will be playing the organ for us, and for that I am grateful.

Since I am out of town this weekend, we will not be singing our usual medley of patriotic songs at the church picnic, so I am including a couple in our worship this morning, though they have nothing to do with the scriptures being read. If you listen carefully, closely, and critically, you will hear that the word spoken and read is a call to follow God. Matthew Henry, a Bible Scholar from the 1700s, wrote, "It is easy for us to say, Come, see our zeal for the Lord! and to think we are very faithful in his cause, when we are seeking our own objects, and even doing harm instead of good to others."
