First Lesson
Isaiah 49:1-7
Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The LORD called me before I was born, while I was in my mother’s womb he named me. He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the LORD, and my reward with my God.” And now the LORD says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the sight of the LORD, and my God has become my strength-he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, “Kings shall see and stand up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

12
I waited patiently upon the /LORD; * he stooped to me /and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the /mire and clay; * he set my feet upon a high cliff and /made my footing sure.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our /God; * many shall see, and stand in awe, and put their /trust in the LORD. Happy are they who trust in the /LORD! * they do not resort to evil spirits /or turn to false gods.
Great things are they that you have done, /O LORD my God! how great your wonders and your plans for us! * there is none who can /be compared with you. Oh, that I could make them known and /tell them! * but they are more /than I can count. In sacrifice and offering you take no /pleasure * (you have given me /ears to hear you);
Burnt-offering and sin-offering you have /not required, * and so I said, /“Behold, I come.
In the roll of the book it is written /concerning me: * ‘I love to do your will, O my God; your law is /deep in my heart.”’ I proclaimed righteousness in the great /congregation; * behold, I did not restrain my lips; and that,/ O LORD, you know.
Your righteousness have I not hidden in my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your /deliverance;* I have not concealed your love and faithfulness from the great /congregation. You are the LORD; do not withhold your compassion from /me;* let your love and your faithfulness keep me /safe for ever.

has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind-- just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you-- so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Gospel
John 1:29-42
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
John saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.” The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, “Look, here
is the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Welcome to worship at the Cathedral. I hope you are find what you are looking for. Let us know if we can help.
The Agnus Dei (Latin for ‘lamb of God’) is one of the oldest parts of our liturgy. We hear it today from John the Baptist in today’s Gospel lesson as a prophetic word—he is testifying to Jesus who is the lamb of God. Use of the Agnus Dei began in the Eastern Christian community, but soon spread to Rome and the West. It was originally repeated over and over during the breaking of communion bread: O Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world; have mercy upon us. Early in the Middle Ages, when people took communion less frequently the prayer was reduced to 3 repetitions. Soon after, it became associated with the exchange of the peace. At that time, the final response was changed from have mercy upon us to grant us thy peace: O Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world; have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world; have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world; grant us thy peace. The Agnus Dei is still part of the Gloria—and we speak it each Sunday morning at the 8:30 Rite I. In it, we acknowledge Jesus’ role as an offering of himself and we express our dependence on God’s mercy. This weekend, especially tomorrow is our national remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is a good time to reflect upon his words. As you prepare for worship today, consider this King quote: It is pretty difficult to like some people. Like is sentimental, and it is pretty difficult to like someone bombing your home. . . . but Jesus says love them, and love is greater than like. Love is understanding, redemptive, creative good will for all people. I am glad you are here today. Faithfully, The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On This Second Sunday after the Epiphany

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 2110 bags. The cost 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.

Register your card by phone (1-888-904-0800) or on-line. Here’s how to register on-line: • Visit www.kroger.com/communityrewards and hit “Create an Account.”.” • Register your Kroger Plus Card number. • Once you are registered, you’ll see a tab that says “Kroger Community Rewards.” Hit the “Enroll” tab. • You will be asked for the company name or number.

Parking At the Cathedral
Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings at 3 locations: 1) the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons (Sunday mornings only), at the corner of 2nd and Muhammed Ali: the old “Midas Lot” behind the Cathedral and entered by 1st St. at Louisville Surgical Center entrance; and the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. The Transamerica lot is only to be used for Sunday mornings (you will be towed if you park there at other times). The old “Midas Lot” can also be used on Sunday mornings and in the evenings and on Saturday when the Louisville Surgical Center is closed. The YMCA Garage can be used at anytime although there maybe a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.

Prayerfully consider what you will commit to ministry at the Cathedral in the coming year and register it with a Pledge Card. Pledge Cards are in pockets of chairs in the Cathedral and at all entrances.
PLANNED GIVING CORNER This is the first of what we anticipate will be many periodic articles for Cathedral Matters to come in the future. The Endowment Corporation has decided to sponsor short information pieces which will describe useful aspects of planned giving for Cathedral members and friends, and those who don’t plan to live forever. We hope texts will help members understand more about wills, trusts, income, estate and inheritance taxes, living wills, medical powers of attorney, advance instructions for your clergy for your funeral, life insurance transfers, 401(k)’s, IRA’s, old and new laws relating to all of the above, and the additional resources concerning estate planning available through the Endowment Corporation and the Episcopal Church Foundation. Carter Ruml, an estate and probate lawyer and a good friend of the Cathedral, has agreed to draft these information pieces for us. We hope they will prove to be a valuable resource in the months and years to come. Rob Beard, President, Endowment Corporation.

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 reference. Now, read about our ministry, think about how you would like to be involved...and jump right in!
