As the Jewish feast of Shavuot (Pentecost), Sivan 6, 5768, falls on Monday, June 9 (actually starts sundown on the 8th) this year, we'll miss it by about a month this coming Lord's Day. But, as that was part of the ceremonial law, "now abrogated under the New Testament" (WCF XIX:iii), and mother's day is nowhere "expressly set down in Scripture," "by good and necessary consequence ... deduced from scripture," nor a "circumstance" "concerning the worship of God" (WCF I:vi) neither has anything to do with public worship this next Lord's Day, nor any other.

I’m preaching on Acts 14:21-28, because I was on Acts 14:8-20 the week before.
