First Lesson
Acts 2:14a,22-32
Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed the multitude, “You that are Israelites, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with deeds of power, wonders, and signs that God did through him among you, as you yourselves know-- this
man, handed over to you according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of those outside the law. But God raised him up, having freed him from death, because it was impossible for him to be held in its power. For David says concerning him,
`I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken; therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced; moreover my flesh will live in hope. For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One experience corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.’
“Fellow Israelites, I may say to you confidently of our ancestor David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would put one of his descendants on his throne. Foreseeing Psalm
1 2 3 4 5

this, David spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, saying , `He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh experience corruption.’ This Jesus God raised up, and of that all of us are witnesses.”

Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in / you; * I have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord, my good a/bove all other.” All my delight is upon the godly that are in the / land, * upon those who are noble a/mong the people. But those who run after other / gods * shall have their / troubles multiplied.
Their libations of blood I will not / offer, * nor take the names of their / gods upon my lips. O LORD, YOU are my portion and my / cup; * it is you / who uphold my lot.

You will show me the / path of life; * in your presence there is fullness of joy, and in your right hand are / pleasures for evermore.
Second Lesson
1 Peter 1:3-9
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice, even if now for a little while you have had to suffer
various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith-- being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire-- may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Although you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel
John 20:19-31
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
When it was evening on the day of Resurrection, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I
see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our
Today begins the second week of Easter. So, how are the great fifty days going for you? Are you finding ways of growing into the new life of the resurrection? Our Gospel reading today suggests that Thomas may have been having trouble with that. But I think he has gotten an undeservedly bad reputation for his hesitation when he meets Christ for the first time after the resurrection. Thomas is the patron of all of us whose faith is a matter not only of heart—but also of mind and body. Spanish poet and philosopher, Miguel Unamuno, captures this for me (and restores Thomas’ good name) when he writes: Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God and not in God himself. So, what do you think? Does your life in Christ engage all that you are? If not, how can we help? Check out the ministries detailed in CATHEDRAL MATTERS and find something that works for you. Looking ahead, plan to be with us, Bishop White, and the choirs and congregations of three sister parishes (Calvary, St. Francis, and St. Luke) for a combined Feast of the Ascension—here in the Nave, Thursday, May 25 at 7:00 pm. It will be a wonderful follow up to the Feast of the Resurrection that we celebrated just last weekend—and a productive use of our 50 days. I’ll keep you posted on the details, but mark your calendars now for the event. I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Second Sunday of Easter
we pray New or Updated This Week — Midday Mass updates

Daily Prayer Online
Prayer is an important part of being an Episcopalian. The discipline of prayer, known as the Daily Office, is one of the gifts of the Church to us. Daily Prayer Online uses our Cathedral Facebook page. Each morning at 5:00 am, a prayer will be posted; it can be accessed at any point throughout the day, and even in days following. You will also be invited, in the posts, to include prayer requests in the Comments section. We include those prayer requests in our Prayers of the People at Midday Mass and on Sundays. Check out Daily Prayer Online and consider sharing it with your friends. Make sure that you ‘like’ and ‘follow’ the Cathedral page: Christ Church Cathedral @ChristChurchLouKY.org.

Compline in the Garden
Compline in the Garden will begin in June and continue through the Summer. It will be a brief sung service—a gift to us and to our neighborhood. Let the Dean know if you would like to be part of the plans. YOU ASKED
What was that strange looking robe that the canons and the dean wore at the Vigil and on Easter Day?
Good question: it is called a cope—a cloak that is worn when the chasuble (the poncho-like robe that the Presider wears) is not used. Both garments have their origin in the Roman pluvial (a rain-cloak). The difference in the two vestments is that the cope is open in the front; the chasuble is closed. The cope I wore at the Vigil and on Easter Day was a gift to the Cathedral from St. Andrew’s Church in Glasgow, which closed earlier this year.
we study Sunday Bible Study
Every Sunday, 9:15 a.m. in the library Tom Peters leads a group in reading and studying through the Bible. The group is working its way through the Acts of the Apostles. You are invited to join the group at any time.
Children’s Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School uses a clergy, chapter, parent and parishioner-led Montessori-based curriculum.
We have added to our team: Art Specialist, Stephanie Potter; Assistant Presenter, Carol Syvertsen; and several special aides. Special thanks to Dorothy Converse, Hollis Real, Chase Durnil, Katie Grace Gilliam, Hunter Gilliam and Dr. Mike Foster. Contact Dean Pritcher if you would like to help with class preparation. Adult Book Study Sundays following 10:30 Worship
Join us for our Adult Study Series, based on Dr. Catherine Meeks’ recently published book, “Living into God’s Dream: Dismantling Racism” (Morehouse Publishing, 2016). Dr. Meeks is the retired Clara Carter Acree Distinguished Professor of Socio-Cultural Studies at Wesleyan College and serves as the Chair of the Beloved Community: Commission on Dismantling Racism of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. Dr. Meeks is a Deacon in the Diocese of Atlanta and a Provisional in the Society of St. Anna the Prophet. Sundays, today – April 9, following 10:30 worship, in the Library. The Study will be on break Easter Day, but return on April 23.
MEET: Stephanie Potter, who has been worshiping with us since Christmas of 2015. You will see her on Sundays, vested and singing in the Cathedral Choir. Our children benefit from her creativity—she serves as Art Specialist for Children Sunday School. Stephanie was confirmed at the Easter Vigil on March 26, 2016—the same evening that her son, Eli, was baptized. Stephanie was born and raised in Frankfort, Kentucky and was a member of Church of the Ascension. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Functional Design and Woodworking from Murray State University. She continues to make art and maintains a private art studio, focusing on printmaking and drawing. She is also an Art Teacher at Saint Mary Academy School in Louisville. Stephanie’s mother-in-law, Shela, is a devoted member of the Community Breakfast Team. Take a moment to welcome Stephanie and thank her for her faithful ministry here at the Cathedral.
we work Next Community Breakfast is May 7
The next Community Breakfast is Sunday, May 7, 8:45 – 9:30 a.m., in Bishops’ Hall. Serving our friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners is one of the most rewarding ministries at Christ Church Cathedral. In addition to serving breakfast, personal care and food items are always accepted for the food pantry and Central Louisville Community Ministry. We need your help—contact Randy Peters if you can do that.

CLOUT
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
The Cathedral’s year-long work on justice ministry through CLOUT came to fruition on Tuesday, March 28, when 56 members and friends of CCC joined 1,026 others of faith from CLOUT’s 22 member churches at the annual Nehemiah Action Assembly. CLOUT (Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together) has worked for 25 years with great success in highlighting issues that affect the whole community. At the assembly, community officials and stakeholders committed to specific progress toward solutions to public health and safety crises in our community. This year CLOUT’s efforts focused on three areas: increasing funding for affordable housing, implementing and expanding Restorative Practices in Jefferson County public schools, and setting up a community-wide roundtable for those in health and criminal justice to begin to implement best practices programs that address the treatment of mental health and addiction. You can expect to hear more about CCC’s Justice Ministry as the team continues to work through CLOUT during the coming year to research and expand its efforts.
Downtown Episcopal Outreach (DEO)
Don’t be afraid of CHANGE—put it in the DEO Pig! DEO supports the Lunch Bags Program, Laundry Love, Kentucky Refugee Ministry and addresses gap needs that arise in service agencies throughout central Louisville. Using the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and working with outreach partners including Central Louisville Community Ministries, Our Merciful Savior Episcopal Church and St. George’s Episcopal Church, we help with expenses such as ID application fees, prescription drugs, utilities, and some transportation costs. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.

Reaching Out for Outreach Lunch Bag Ministry
The lunch bag ministry is a way for Christ Church Cathedral to help feed our neighbors who are hungry. The bags contain bottled water, a protein, canned fruit, a breakfast bar, a salty snack and something sweet. The lunch bags are assembled by a group of volunteer parishioners who meet at the church as needed to replenish the supply of bags. During the calendar year of 2016 we gave out 2,110 bags. The costs for the bags are paid for by Downtown Episcopal Outreach. So remember to “Feed the DEO Pig.” For more information, contact Paul Real who leads this ministry.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/dryers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Next Laundry Love event is Thursday, May 11. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach). Contact Dorothy Converse or Mike DaRif if you have questions.

BE KIND Philo of Alexandria was a Greek Jewish philosopher (c. 25 BCE – c. 50 CE) who lived and worked in Alexandria, Egypt. His method of blending Greek philosophy with Jewish philosophy was useful to Christian Church Fathers. For example, some scholars believe that his notion of logos (meaning God’s creative principle) influenced early Christology. We can see that illustrated in the first chapter of the Gospel of John—in the beginning was the word (or ‘logos’). Apparently, kindness, too, was important to Philo, as he is said to have written: Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

Urban Ministry Open House Fellowship Coffee Hours
The Cathedral is one of four Urban Ministry core congregations in downtown Louisville. The other three are St. George’s, Our Merciful Savior and Calvary. During Lent and Easter, we are visiting each parish’s Coffee Hour to enjoy one another’s hospitality and fellowship. The Cathedral hosted the event in February and the response was great. Now, I ask that we go to the two upcoming Coffee Hours: April 30 at Our Merciful Savior (473 S. 11th St.); and May 21 at Calvary (821 S 4th St.). Each will be at 12:30 pm.
Greetings!

The Cathedral will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork.
STEWARDSHIP NOTES As we make our way further into the 50 days of Easter, our goal is to deepen our faith and explore what resurrection, ‘new life’, means to us. Imagine the men, women and children among us whose challenge is more complicated—whose notion of exploring ‘new life’ is the act of finding their way in a new country, a new city and a new neighborhood. If you would like to help those who are new to the USA and Louisville, consider giving to or volunteering with Kentucky Refugee Ministries (KRM), and watch for more news about sanctuary for them. You can learn more about KRM by calling (502) 479-9180, or by going to this website: https://kyrm.org

Why do we pray, study, work, listen and build?
Benedict, the father of Benedictine spirituality, suggested that our life is best balanced between prayer, study, and work. We have taken that challenge as the basis of our common life together at Christ Church Cathedral: We pray (worship and the arts). We study (spiritual formation). We work (service to others). In addition, we know that we are sustained by our life together, and that works best when we listen to one another. We also aim to build and maintain a structure that will support all of our ministry efforts. And so: We listen (cathedral life and fellowship), We build (administration). In Cathedral Matters, you will find information about ministry opportunities at the Cathedral which fit into all five of these areas. Under each of the five main categories you will see what is new to the listing for this week. You will notice that some paragraphs repeat weekly, so that our guests won’t miss any news. You are urged to take your Cathedral Matters home with you so that you will have it for ready referenc Tuesday in Holy Week e. Now, read about our ministry, think about how you would like to be involved...and jump right in!
