First Lesson
Jonah 3:1-5, 10
The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” So Jonah set out and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly large city, a three days’ walk across. Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s walk. And he cried out, “Forty days more, and Nineveh shall
be overthrown!” And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth. When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil ways, God changed his mind about the calamity that he had said he would bring upon them; and he did not do it.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 62:6-14 • sung by all
For God alone my soul in silence /waits; * truly, my /hope is in him.
He alone is my rock and my sal/vation, * my stronghold, so that I shall /not be shaken. In God is my safety and my /honor; * God is my strong rock /and my refuge.
Put your trust in him always, O /people, * pour out your hearts before him, for God /is our refuge. Those of high degree are but a fleeting /breath, * even those of low estate can/not be trusted. On the scales they are lighter than a /breath, * all of /them together.
Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty /pride; * though wealth increase, set not your /heart upon it. God has spoken once, twice have I /heard it, * that power /belongs to God.
Steadfast love is yours, O /Lord, * for you repay everyone accord/ing to his deeds.

Second Lesson
1 Corinthians 7:29-31
I mean, brothers and sisters, the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as
though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no possessions, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Hymn
Gospel
661
They cast their nets in Galilee
Mark 1:14-20
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.
Glory to you Lord Christ
After John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.” As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow
me and I will make you fish for people.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon

Nicene Creed • BCP 358 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance

with the Scriptures; he ascended into heavenand is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Because in the mystery of the Word made flesh, you have caused a new light to shine in our hearts, to give the knowledge of your glory in the face of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: from Missa Conditor Alme Siderum

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore, according to his command, O Father,
We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with [_________. and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation. By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.
The Great Amen
• at the conclusion of the Great Thanksgiving all sing:
The Lord’s Prayer • BCP 364 • traditional version
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral January 21, 2018 www.christchurchlouky.org
My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Next week, we will eat lunch together and have our Annual Meeting. It will be our opportunity to: share reports submitted from the various ministries of the Cathedral, thank the many folks who make that good work happen, review our 2018 budget, and elect four new members for Cathedral Chapter.
We have a slate of four candidates: Helen Murray, Stephanie Potter, Paul Real, and Bill Shelton. On these January Sundays, you can read about the candidates in our MEET box. Today, meet Paul Real—on page 7. In addition to Annual Meeting on January 28, there are a few more dates for you to note and mark on your calendar: Cathedral Book Group Three Choir Festival Sneak Peek of the Omni Shrove Tuesday Chili Cook-Off Ash Wednesday Liturgies
Today at 4:00 pm (read more on page 5) January 28, 3:00 pm at Calvary Church (read more on page 2) February 4, following Coffee Hour (read more on page 5) February 13, 6:30 (read more on page 5) February 14, at Noon or 7:00 pm, in the Nave
Thank you so much for your generous response to our annual giving campaign (update is on page 4). We want to have everyone involved in pledging to support Cathedral ministries. If you have not yet registered your intentions, take a moment to complete and return your pledge card today. You will find cards at each entrance and in the pockets of the chairs in front of you. For these two weeks, we are considering the meaning of God’s call to us. As you prepare for worship today, think about how you will perceive God’s call to you—and reflect upon these words of Pastor Martin Niemoller: In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me—and by that time no one was left to speak up. I am glad that you are with us today. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Third Sunday After the Epiphany

Our very own Cathedral Choir will sing a three-anthem set featuring American folk music arranged by modern composers: “My Shepherd Will Supply My Need” by Virgil Thomson, “Lay Me Low” by Kevin Siegfried, and “Walk Together, Children” by Moses Hogan. The concert will be at Calvary Episcopal Church. We hope you’ll be with us. 2
Daughters of the King
We are exploring the possibility of starting a Daughters of the King chapter at the Cathedral in the new year. There are several parishioners who have already expressed interest—there is room for more. If you want to know more about being part of that group, let Frazier or the Dean know.
Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Holy Week
Lent will be here before we know it. We don’t want to rush it, but we’d like for you to mark these important dates on your calendar: Ash Wednesday is February 14. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, March 25, followed by Maundy Thursday, March 29; Good Friday, March 30; Easter Vigil, March 31; and Easter Day, April 1.
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.
we study Adult 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.
Dean’s Forum
In the feature documentary Traces of the Trade, Producer/Director Katrina Browne tells the story of her forefathers, the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Given the myth that the South is solely responsible for slavery, viewers will be surprised to learn that Browne’s ancestors were Northerners. The film follows Browne and nine fellow family members on a remarkable journey which brings them face-to-face with the history and legacy of New England’s hidden enterprise. Dean’s Forum will view the documentary as well as the film ‘out-takes’ for a broader view of Katrina Browne’s story.
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, Chase Durnil, Katie Grace Gilliam, Hunter Gilliam and Dr. Mike Foster. Contact Dean Pritcher if you would like to help with class preparation.
Spirituality Book Group
Are you interested in a Book Group focused on the subject of spirituality? Let Jan Scholtz or the Dean know. We are looking to start that.
we work Next Community Breakfast is Feb. 4
The next Community Breakfast is February 4, 8:30 – 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. Contact Randy Peters if you would like to help or just come.
Episcopal Relief & Development
Episcopal Relief & Development (ERD) is the compassionate response of The Episcopal Church to human suffering in the world. Hearing God’s call to seek and serve Christ in all persons and to respect the dignity of every human being, ERD serves to bring together the generosity of Episcopalians and others with the needs of the world. ERD faithfully administers the funds that are received from the Church and raised from other sources. It provides relief in times of disaster and promotes sustainable development by identifying and addressing the root causes of suffering. To contribute, donate online at https://www.episcopalrelief.org or write your check to the Cathedral and memo it ‘ERD’.
Justice Ministry Through CLOUT
CLOUT is in full swing after the holidays. All three of the Issue Committees (Affordable Housing; Mental Illness/Addiction; Restorative Practices in Schools) meet in January to review the status of their research and look toward what needs to be done before the Nehemiah Action on April 17. The Safe City Roundtable will be meeting on January 26. In early February the Cathedral’s CLOUT Network members will gather to be updated on the issues and to prepare to invite others to attend the Nehemiah Action. The Cathedral’s goal is to have 70 people in attendance at the Nehemiah Action, our own 30 Network members plus their guests. Want to know more? Ask any of CCC’s CLOUT Team: Page Curry, Mildred Franks, Eva Markham, and Jim Monin.

Central Louisville Community Ministries (CLCM), formerly Help Ministries of Central Louisville, is one of the oldest community ministries in the city of Louisville. It was created in 1968 by ministers in the downtown area to respond in a structured way to the requests for help that came to churches. CLCM gives direct and personal assistance to residents of the central Louisville community who are in need; to provide a place where residents feel welcome and can receive referrals and shortterm emergency assistance; to advocate on behalf of clients for the improvement of the quality of assistance from providers of public and private services; to create and implement programs that build a sense of community among clients, churches, businesses, and the public and private social sectors; and to provide opportunities to fulfill their urban missions by combining their resources, both financial and human.

Paper cards will be mailed to our children, youth and to folks without e-mail. Please add caring@christchurchlouky.org to your e-mail addresses so that your e-cards will reach your inbox.

Coffee Hour Hosts Invitation
We all enjoy coffee hour after the morning service on Sundays. Currently we have 31 gracious generous hosts who serve about 3 coffee hours during the year. We always welcome new hosts and I will be updating our list and schedule to begin in January. We try to keep the offerings simple so that it is not too much of a burden on a host. There is help (usually our wonderful Frazier Marsh) cleaning up and coffee is already taken care of. If you feel called to host coffee hour, please contact Randy Peters.
Pastoral Care
If you have a pastoral care emergency or concern, call Dean Pritcher any time on the Pastoral Care line: 502-632-3213. In addition, when there are pastoral concerns about members of our congregation, and with the concurrence of the person or people concerned, Randy Peters sends an e-mail to a list of people who have indicated that they want to know about these concerns. If you want to be included in that distribution list, please let Randy know, either in person or by e-mail, rpeters421@yahoo.com.
Welcome Ministry
Have you ever gone to a church for the first time and no one spoke to you as you entered? That is a Greeter’s role of outreach--to make a person feel welcome as they enter a church for the first time. It requires only about 15-20 minutes each time you greet and it is beneficial to the greeter as much as the one greeted. If you would like to help with this important service to the church, please contact the Dean or Bobbie Fritton.

The Cathedral will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork.

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!
