Opening Hymn 94 Come Let Us Join Our Cheerful Song
First
1 Now
Jethro, the priest of Midian
and father-in-law of Moses, heard of everything God had done for Moses and for
his people
13
The next day Moses took his seat to serve as judge for the people, and they
stood around him from morning till evening.
When his father-in-law saw all that Moses was doing for the people, he
said, "What is this you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as
judge, while all these people stand around you from morning till evening?"
Moses answered him, "Because the people come to me to seek God's
will. Whenever they have a dispute, it
is brought to me, and I decide between the parties and inform them of God's
decrees and laws."
Moses' father-in-law replied, "What you
are doing is not good. You and these
people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for
you; you cannot handle it alone. Listen
now to me and I will give you some advice, and may God be with you. You must be
the people's representative before God and bring their disputes to him. Teach them the decrees and laws, and show
them the way to live and the duties they are to perform. But select capable men from all the
people—men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain—and appoint
them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. Have them serve as
judges for the people at all times, but have them bring every difficult case to
you; the simple cases they can decide themselves. That will make your load
lighter, because they will share it with you.
If you do this and God so commands, you will be able to stand the
strain, and all these people will go home satisfied."
Moses listened to his
father-in-law and did everything he said.
He chose capable men from all
Then Moses sent his
father-in-law on his way, and Jethro returned to his
own country.

Gospel
The Workers Are
Few
Jesus
went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues,
preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed
and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples,
"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the
harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
