Light of the World

By The Very Rev. Carol Wade

God has made each of us wondrously unique, and as creation is our witness, it seems God deeply values difference and calls it good!

E

piphany is the season in which we celebrate Christ’s all-encompassing love. Like light extending forth to permeate darkness, Christ’s forgiveness, acceptance and love are meant for all. Therefore, it is not surprising that light is the guiding image of the season of Epiphany. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have the light of life” (John 8:12).

We begin our journey with Christ through the gift of baptism. In fact, early Christians referred to baptism as enlightenment, as a sign of the wisdom, patience and strength we receive in baptism through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Just as we marked the beginning of Epiphany by remembering the baptism of Jesus, we will celebrate again the Sacrament of Baptism. At the conclusion of the rite, the newly baptized will receive a brightly burning candle to signify that we each bear the light of Christ wherever we may go. We are strengthened for that journey not only by the light of Christ, but through the extraordinary love of our community to care for one another.

As we gather at the baptismal font, we promise to share God’s unconditional love and forgiveness with one another in our community as we honor the dignity of all. I see that holiness and generosity carried out in your lives on a daily basis. In fact, being a community of love, acceptance and forgiveness is one of your deepest and most cherished values. In a world that too often seems unable to hold differences in a healthy and productive tension, you are witness to a better way: that we are one in Christ because we are each cherished members of God’s beloved family.

What a wonderful gift we have to share with the world. God has made each of us wondrously unique, and as creation is our witness, it seems God deeply values difference and calls it good! (Genesis1) Therefore, the Holy Spirit does not erase our differences, but instead, draws us together to love and care for one another as a sign of God’s reconciling love at work in our beloved community through Christ.

May you always bear the light of life as we follow our One True Light. Ϯ

WELCOMING SMILES

By Katie Waddell

I

t has been a wonderfully strange and exciting journey for me these last few years. And while I could write a book on it all, I’ll spare you of those details.

I would, however, like to share the welcome and joy that I have experienced since coming to Christ Church Cathedral last fall.

Six months ago I drove from Lakeland, FL to Lexington, KY with my mother and all my earthly possessions in tow. On a Sunday morning, my first day alone in my new town, having left my tearful mom at the Bluegrass airport, I walked through the front doors of this cathedral.

I came in feeling overwhelmed– a new city, loneliness, the unknown. But instead of intimidating me, welcoming smiles, the towering ceilings and resonating organ framed a space where I felt immediately at home. I came with an open heart, looking for a place to belong, and the Spirit met me there. The clergy immediately reached out to me, confirming that God was welcoming me to my new home.

The following week I met Father Joe and the young adults at the Village Idiot for Theology on Tap, and the rest, well, is history.

Since that first gathering I have formed deep, loving relationships with my fellow young adults, who are also looking to explore the profound questions about God, the world, and everything in-between. As a twenty-something, it’s often difficult to find people my age who are committed to community, but God has blessed me with

I felt immediately at home.

I came with an open heart, looking for a place to belong, and the Spirit met me there.

new friends and fellowship that I hadn’t even hoped to find when I first arrived. I am so grateful for the hospitality and generosity of spirit that the clergy and congregation of Christ Church Cathedral express every week. Each service, Sunday school class, Theology on Tap, or other community event I attend helps me grow, brings me closer to this family, and reminds me of God’s presence in my life. I love being a part of this community, and I hope to be the welcoming smile to share our cathedral’s love with any new wanderer looking for a place to belong. Ϯ

CHILDREN

SMALL VOICE OF GOD

By Renee Mullins

I

'll be honest - the children can retell the stories better than I can. I am in awe at times. I am new to mentoring children spiritually but I do have a love and passion for working with kids. I have come to recognize my actions, words and silent moments have great power in teaching and learning. I don't have to know the bible verse by verse to teach children to love God and learn how to show that in their lives. Godly Play is an amazing tool for allowing children to listen to God through the story. A couple of the children will ask questions that I don't have an answer to. I am grateful for "the wondering" time. My response when an intelligent young boy or girl asks something I am uncertain of is, "well, I wonder." Their response is amazing. Godly Play and the children have brought the inner child alive in me.

The simple message presented each week is what the love of God is, simple.

The children have this creative energy that is brought alive while wondering and working with the story. What I often see is a drawing of superheroes or hearts and flowers but the children may have a very different image in their mind of where this story is going for them. God is alive in each of the children and the creative energy is amazing to see. The children learn from the stories, the wondering, and me. I learn with each interaction from the children. The children bring that small voice of God alive in me! ĎŽ

MISSION

MONEY FOR MINISTRY:

The Blessings of a Kroger Card

By The Rev. Brent Owens

R

egardless of how much or how little we may shop at Kroger, I think we can agree that free money is good! Kroger will give Christ Church Cathedral 4% of all purchases when we use a Kroger rechargeable gift card. Another Lexington Episcopal Church has around 50 members who do this and it provides about $7,000 for ministry every year! Using a Kroger card to help the Cathedral will cost you nothing.

Many of us will spend some money at Kroger during 2014. We may have our prescriptions filled at a Kroger pharmacy. Some of us with a large family may load up an overflowing grocery cart every week. Some may only buy a few things every couple of weeks.

How does it work?

Christ Church Cathedral will buy the Kroger cards pre-loaded with $5 on them and coded so that 4% goes to us. You buy the card from the Cathedral for the face value of $5. You get the $5 back with your first purchase.

Go to Kroger and put any amount of money on the card at the service desk or at the cash register before they ring up your purchases. Then pay for your purchase with the Kroger card.

There are no strings attached to this free money to the Cathedral. All it involves is one added step for you to put money on your Kroger card before making your purchase. That’s it! If most members of the Cathedral participate over the course of 2014, it will make a big difference. We've

seen success when we've used this for Youth Ministries.

We will kick off the 2014 Kroger card Money for Ministry on Sunday, March 2. You can obtain your Cathedral Kroger card before services or during breakfast on Sundays – look for the sign and our Money for Ministry table. Or during the week you can call, email or stop by and parish administrator Lesa Wherle (lwehrle@ ccclex.org), or parish secretary Margaret Christensen (mchristensen@ ccclex.org), (both at 254-4497) will get you a Kroger card either in person or we will mail it to you.

LEGACY SOCIETY

REMEMBERING HUGH AND CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL

By Sharon Brennan

M

y father, Hugh McEwan, loved the Episcopal Church and he loved Christ Church Cathedral. The journey which led him to the Cathedral, and ultimately to his decision to join the Legacy Society, began in 1932 shortly after he arrived in the United States a young, unchurched Scottish immigrant. It was then that he discovered Trinity Church in Boston, Massachusetts. Church leaders invited him to join the basketball team and subsequently provided financial support so he could attend their camp for several summers running.

Dad frequently commented on how glad and grateful he was to find a spiritual home at Trinity. He often said his experience there during formative years set him on

Ash Wednesday March 5

course. Trinity helped him grow spiritually and served as a compass directing him to a life which focused on service to the church, the community and his adopted country.

When he moved to Lexington after my mother’s death, he was drawn to the Cathedral because the mission of the parish fit his needs, philosophy and goals. He enthusiastically embraced the Legacy Society as soon as he learned of its existence, noting that it provided a way to give back and “pay forward." He was a modest man of modest means; so, this decision involved some sacrifice.

I am very proud of my dad’s commitment and grateful for his bequest regarding the importance of stewardship. I, too, have made a commitment to the Cathedral’s future – together with my husband Jim – through a provision in our will. I hope Hugh’s story will inspire you to consider doing so as well. I have no doubt that he is with us serving as a beacon of stewardship, sacrifice and love. What a wonderful legacy! Ϯ

JOURNEYING THROUGH THE PRAYER BOOKS

By The Rev. Joe Mitchell

H

ave you ever wondered why our service of Holy Eucharist looks the way that it does?

If so, you will love our current Thursday night program at St. Augustine’s Chapel at UK. Each Thursday from January 16 to March 6 the Episcopal Campus Ministry will be journeying through every single Book of Common Prayer in our history, celebrating Holy Eucharist while exploring the ways that our Anglican worship life has adapted with the times.

We began our journey with the very first Prayer Book of 1549! It was unique in that it was the only Prayer Book to call the service “the mass,” and it retained several other subtleties of our Roman Catholic roots.

“The strangest part for me was when

we couldn’t take Communion in our hands, but instead the priest put it in our mouths,” said Megan Dennis, referring to a practice that started because people would actually steal the holy bread when the priests put it in their hands!

The strangest one so far, according to the students, has been the 1552 service, which is very Protestant in its form.

“It was odd seeing the priest ONLY wearing the black robe and nothing else,” said Austin Norrid. “My home church is sort of high church, so that was different.”

For others the ever-changing theology of the Prayer Book has been fascinating. “In the first service it was obvious that Jesus was meant to be present in the bread and wine,” said Paul Isaacs, “but in the second service it clearly is meant to just be a memorial. And then in the third one it can be whatever the people want it to be!”

16 / PRAYER AND ACTION_FEBRUARY 14

Our journey grew out of a desire among students to see where some of our customs began and how they have shifted over time. So far it has been a huge success!

If you are interested in exploring the Eucharists of Prayer Books past, come join us on Thursday nights at St. Augustine’s. Dinner is served at 7:00, followed by Eucharist. All are welcome! Ϯ

ART

SPOTLIGHT ON THE PERMANENT COLLECTION

By Jesse Mark

G

uy Ellis was reading The Illustrated Bible, Dorling-Kindersly (2012) and came across “The Prophets” by John Singer Sargent.

He emailed me and asked if this could be the same as the prints which hang in the Tilford Room. The original Frieze of the Prophets is in the Boston Public Library. To see photos of the original frieze in full color go to www.bpl. org/central/ sargentinfo. htm.

The curator of Fine Arts, Eve Griffin, BPL, responded to my query as follows: As to the dates of the early reproductions, Sally M. Promey writes, “Mass-mediated reproduction began in earnest immediately following the first installation (in 1895). As early as 1896 Boston publishing company Curtis and Cameron offered reproductions of Frieze in multiple sizes and various fractions of the whole. Over the years prints and photographs of Frieze and its components have been available through the library itself, the popular press, and numerous commercial establishments…. The earliest versions were halftone reproductions from photographs or steel engravings. Those first black-and-white images were soon followed by prints in brown or ‘sepia tone,’ resembling ‘expensive art photographs,’ and then

by ‘natural’ color pictures,” Painting Religion in Public: John Singer Sargent's Triumph of Religion at the Boston Public Library (1999), 278-282.

If you are interested in learning more about this work, read John Singer Sargent's Triumph of Religion at the Boston Public Library: Creation and Restoration, ed. Narayan Khandekar, Gianfranco Pocobene, and Kate Smith (2009).

Researching the history of art at the cathedral is a process of learning, undoing mistaken information, and re-learning. While we thought we knew the date the art was given to the church, it now appears that the date of 1895 was the date that the work was done at the Boston library. And the attribution of the work to Burwell Keith, a Kentucky artist, was incorrect. We now know that the work was by Sargent and hopefully will eventually know when the Keith daughters presented the work to the Cathedral. We have repeated some of the images so you are aware of the piece we are writing about. Ϯ

BULLETIN BOARD

MISSION /// HELP US CO-SPONSOR A REFUGEE FAMILY We are going to co-sponsor a refugee family! Kentucky Refugee Ministries is one of the church’s resettling agencies and the Cathedral will partner with it for this lifechanging ministry. Fewer than 5 percent of refugees are resettled. Our assistance to the refugee family will be for 3-6 months.

We need 25 to 30 parishioners to help.

Please call or email The Rev. Brent Owens if you are interested at bowens@ccclex.org or call 254-4497.

CUPBOARD VOLUNTEERS NEEDED Can you spare two hours a month to volunteer at the Community Cupboard, the church’s outreach to low-income Lexington families? The Cupboard provides personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, diapers, clothes and books to clients in need. It is located in the basement of the church.

Volunteers are needed to help distribute supplies for the team that works each third Saturday from 10:00am to noon. Contact Kathleen Imhoff at 225-9310 to participate in this volunteer opportunity.

ROOM IN THE INN NEEDS YOUR HELP Christ Church is honored to host 15 homeless men for housing, dinner, and breakfast Wednesdays during the cold months. We

need the help of individuals and groups to host these men. You can help by volunteering to do one of the following: help prepare and eat a simple dinner with our guests, spend the night at the Cathedral, have breakfast the following morning, or prepare a sack lunch to go. For more information or to sign up for a Wednesday, contact Tom Howard at 368-8684 or Robert Fugate at 881-8695.

NOTICES /// BASKETS FOR DIOCESAN CONVENTION The Diocesan Youth Commission (DYC) is hosting a silent auction at Diocesan Convention. Proceeds support youth scholarships to diocesan events throughout the year. The DYC is seeking donations towards the auction. Donations may be in the form of themed baskets. In years past, CCC has donated baskets with the themes of cupcakes, dogs, cats, family movie night and the liturgical year. If you would like to donate the contents of the basket we will help you put it together, or you may put together a basket on your own or with friends. Single items (gift cards, handmade crafts) may also be donated. Donations are due on February 19. Contact The Rev. Joe Mitchell at jmitchell@ccclex.org.
