First Lesson
Deuteronomy 18:15-20
The word of the Lord came to Jonah Moses said: The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you shall heed such a prophet. This is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: “If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die.” Then the Lord replied to me: “They are right in what they have said. I will raise up for them a prophet
like you from among their own people; I will put my words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them everything that I command. Anyone who does not heed the words that the prophet shall speak in my name, I myself will hold accountable. But any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, or who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded the prophet to speak—that prophet shall die.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 111 • sung by all
Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the LORD with my/ whole heart, * in the assembly of the upright, in the /congregation. Great are the deeds of the /LORD! * they are studied by all /who delight in them. His work is full of majesty and /splendor, * and his righteousness en/dures for ever.
He makes his marvelous works to be re/membered; * the LORD is gracious and full /of compassion. He gives food to those who /fear him; * he is ever mindful /of his covenant.
He has shown his people the power of his /works * in giving them the lands /of the nations.
The works of his hands are faithfulness and /justice; * all his com/mandments are sure. They stand fast for ever and /ever, * because they are done in /truth and equity.
2
He sent redemption to his people; he commanded his covenant for /ever; * holy and /awesome is his Name. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of /wisdom; * those who act accordingly have a good understanding; his praise en/dures for ever.
1 Corinthians 8:1-13
Second Lesson
Now concerning food sacrificed to idols: we know that “all of us possess knowledge.” Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. Anyone who claims to know something does not yet have the necessary knowledge; but anyone who loves God is known by him. Hence, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that “no idol in the world really exists,” and that “there is no God but one.” Indeed, even though there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as in fact there are many gods and many lords— yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. It is not everyone, however, who has this knowledge. Since some have become so accustomed to idols until
now, they still think of the food they eat as food offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. “Food will not bring us close to God.” We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do. But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if others see you, who possess knowledge, eating in the temple of an idol, might they not, since their conscience is weak, be encouraged to the point of eating food sacrificed to idols? So by your knowledge those weak believers for whom Christ died are destroyed. But when you thus sin against members of your family, and wound their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food is a cause of their falling, I will never eat meat, so that I may not cause one of them to fall.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia Verse

Mark 1:21-28
Gospel
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus and his disciples went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.” But Jesus rebuked
him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, “What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher
• all stand
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.

Love Bade Me Welcome
Love bade me welcome. Yet my soul drew back Guilty of dust and sin. But quick-eyed Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning, If I lacked any thing.
A guest, I answered, worthy to be here: Love said, You shall be he. I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah my dear, I cannot look on thee. Love took my hand, and smiling did reply, Who made the eyes but I?
Truth Lord, but I have marred them: let my shame Go where it doth deserve. And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame? My dear, then I will serve. You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat: So I did sit and eat. • all stand

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

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.

As you prepare for worship reflect upon these words of Kent Nerburn: We must witness what we can and point that witness toward the light of God. Feed the hungry, comfort the lonely, visit the sick, assist the fallen—whatever it is that we can do to increase, the light of goodness, that is where witness begins. I’m grateful that you are with us today. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany

Three Choir Festival - TODAY
Today at 3 pm, Three Choir Festival will feature Calvary Episcopal, Cathedral of the Assumption, and Christ Church Cathedral choirs, in combined anthems. 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
Evensong
Evensong returns Sunday, February 11. It will feature the Youth Performing Arts School Chamber Choir which will perform a concert before the service, then join us in singing Evensong. Jacob Cook is the director of the Chamber Choir. Fr. Edgar Wallace will serve as Officiant.
Daughters of the King
Daughters of the King is an order of Christian women, lay and ordained, who are strengthened through the discipline of a Rule of Life (a lifelong program of prayer, service and evangelism), and supported through the companionship of their sisters. Their primary goal is to know Jesus Christ and to make Him known to others. If you want to know more about being part of a Daughters of the King chapter at the Cathedral, let Frazier or the Dean know.
Ash Wednesday, Lent, and Holy Week
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
Dean’s Forum returns on Sunday, February 11, at 12:15 in the Library. 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 ‘outtakes’ 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.
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.
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. February 28, 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.
Collecting Cold Weather Wear
We are collecting socks, gloves and hats for distribution to our neighbors. Place any you’d like to share in the box by the Office.

Feel free to invite a friend that day to worship with us and to share the walk with us.
Greetings!
A greeting card program for Christ Church Cathedral parish has been developed to recognize special and significant days – birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and to reach out to the homebound and to express condolences. Adults with current e-mail addresses will receive e-cards from caring@christchurchlouky.org. When the animated portion ends, wait for your personal message screen to appear. 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. To assure receipt of e-cards, please inform the church office of a new or updated e-mail address (after the 2017 Directory listings). Thank you!

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 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 may be a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.
Digital Giving
A campaign has been created for online giving with an option to give for general support. The goal is unlimited, but in the future items can be added with specific goals if needed. Payments are made online through Amazon.com with a credit or debit card. The Cathedral will receive a check each month less a 5% payment processing fee. A report will be emailed monthly as well, listing details of each contribution. Campaigns can be accessed using the Donate link at the top of our website. A link will need to be added for mobile.
Membership in the Episcopal Church
Episcopal Church Membership is automatic in the parish at which you were baptized or confirmed, and you can easily move your membership when you relocate. If you would like to become an Episcopalian or to move your membership to the Cathedral, call the parish office, or leave your request with Dean Pritcher.

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!
