Readings  

1st  2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19 - David and the people went from Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab to the city of David, to its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it.  David and all the house of Israel were dancing and singing and with the sound of the trumpet, and David sacrificed an ox and a fatling, and distributed food among the people.
with  Psalm 24 - The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it;

OR
Amos 7:12-15 - Amos explains that he didn't decide to be a prophet by himself, but that he did what God told him to do, even though the establishment didn't want him there.
with Psalm 84:  Let us see, O Lord, your mercy and give us your saving help / I will hear what the Lord will say / Mercy and faithfulness have met / The Lord will make us prosper

2nd - Ephesians 1:3-14 - a poetic description of the beautiful way God deals with us - God chose us as His own.

Gospel - Mark 6:14-29 -  Herod's daughter asks for John the baptizer's head on a platter" - Herod was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he sent a soldier who beheaded John, and brought his head back: When his disciples heard, they took his body, and laid it in a tomb.
