Genesis 18:1-15 (NIV-UK)
The three visitors The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great
trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent
in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men
standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance
of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
He said, ‘If I have found favour in your eyes, my lord, do not pass
your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all
wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something
to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way – now
that you have come to your servant.’ ‘Very well,’ they answered,
‘do as you say.’

So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. ‘Quick,’ he said, ‘get
three seahs of the 昀椀nest 昀氀our and knead it and bake some bread.’
Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave
it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. He then brought some
curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these
before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree.
‘Where is your wife Sarah?’ they asked him.
‘There, in the tent,’ he said.

Then one of them said, ‘I will surely return to you about this time
next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.’

Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was
behind him. Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah
was past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself as
she thought, ‘After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now
have this pleasure?’
We extend a warm welcome to everyone worshipping
with us today. If you are new to our church we would
like to stay in contact with you. So please take a card
from the welcome area or make yourself known to the
minister or a steward following the service.
Then the Lord said to Abraham, ‘Why did Sarah laugh and say,
“Will I really have a child, now that I am old?” Is anything too hard
for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year,
and Sarah will have a son.’

Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, ‘I did not laugh.’
But he said, ‘Yes, you did laugh.’
Matthew 9:35-10:8 (NIV-UK)
The workers are few Jesus went through all the towns and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news
of the kingdom and healing every disease and illness. 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 昀椀eld.’
Jesus sends out the Twelve Jesus called his twelve disciples to
him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to
heal every disease and illness.
These are the names of the twelve apostles: 昀椀rst, Simon (who is
called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and
his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew
the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon
the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: ‘Do
not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.
Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, proclaim this
message: “The kingdom of heaven has come near.” Heal those
who are ill, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive
out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
