Sirach 15:15-20
If you choose, you can keep the commandments, and to act faithfully is a matter of your own choice. He has placed before you fire and water; stretch out your hand for whichever you choose. Before each person are life and death, and whichever one chooses will be given. For great is the wisdom of the Lord; he is mighty in power and sees everything; his eyes are on those who fear him, and he knows every human action. He has not commanded anyone to be wicked, and he has not given anyone permission to sin. The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

2
Happy are they whose way is / blameless, * who walk in the / law of the Lord! Happy are they who observe his / decrees * and seek him / with all their hearts! Who never do any / wrong, * but always / walk in his ways.
You laid down your com/mandments, * that we should / fully keep them.
Oh, that my ways were made so / direct * that I / might keep your statutes!
Then I should not be put / to shame, * when I regard / all your commandments.
I will thank you with an un/feigned heart, * when I have learned your / righteous judgments. I will keep your / statutes; * do not utter/ly forsake me.
1 Corinthians 3:1-9
Second Lesson
Brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready, for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely human?
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. The one who plants and the one who waters have a common purpose, and each will receive wages according to the labor of each. For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel
Matthew 5:21-37
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not murder’; and ‘whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment; and if you insult a brother or sister, you will be liable to the council; and if you say, ‘You fool,’ you will be liable to the hell of fire. So when you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way to court with him, or your accuser may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will never get out until you have paid the last penny. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to go into hell. “It was also said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. “Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.’ But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black. Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one.”

Teach me, O Lord
William Byrd
Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes: and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law: yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandments: for therein is my desire. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies: and not to covetousness. O turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity: and quicken thou me in thy way. O stablish thy word in thy servant: that I may fear thee. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost As it was in the beginning, and is now, and ever shall be: world without end . Amen. • all stand Lord make us servants of your peace

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Welcome to worship at the Cathedral. I hope you are finding what you are looking for. Let us know if we can help.
Today is Legacy Sunday; we will honor those who have committed to the future of the Cathedral by contributing to the Cathedral Endowment. Rob Beard will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about the Endowment. Join us in the Litany—you will find it printed on your Cathedral Matters insert. Mark your calendars for important cathedral events: Shrove Tuesday Ash Wednesday Lenten Series Holy Week The Great Vigil Easter Day
February 28 (read more on page 4) March 1, at Noon and 7:00 pm (the Rev’d Canon Jason Lewis will be preacher) Sundays, March 5 – April 9, following 10:30 worship in the Library (read more on page 3) April 9 – April 14 Saturday, April 15 April 16 and 8:30 and 10:30
I will be away for the next 2 weeks, from tomorrow, February 13 through Monday February 27. While I’m away, Midday Mass will continue with guest priests presiding. And your priest associates, the Rev’d Frs. William Bippus and Edgar Wallace will serve on Sundays, February 19 and 26. But note that the pastoral care line is always open. If you have a pastoral emergency, call 502-632-3213 and I will respond. And I look forward to seeing all of you again on Shrove Tuesday, February 28. As you prepare for worship today, consider these words of Ann Oden: Jesus shifts our attention from particular behaviors we must avoid to particular interior orientations we must cultivate. Kingdom righteousness saturates our whole lives, and promises much more, too. It is the way of blessedness. I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On This Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany

Beginning this week, this service is on break—so that it can be re-imagined. We are working to bring it back as a virtual liturgy—to be experienced, not just 3 days a week but daily. Stay tuned—we will keep you posted as to how this will work.

Compline in the Garden
We are considering having Compline in the Garden beginning Sunday evenings late Spring and continuing through early Autumn. 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.

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.
Laundry Love

You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank
CLOUT
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
CLOUT works to solve critical community problems by holding systems accountable: to “do justice, love kindness (mercy), and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).” Two important meetings are coming up for our 28 network members: on February 12 after church we will meet to plan how to include more CCC members at the Nehemiah Action on March 28, where we anticipate over 1000 people from Louisville. We will again ask city officials to fund affordable housing at a higher level –$10 million annually -- and designated agencies to commit to action yet to be determined to improve mental health and addiction.
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, 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 4
2110 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. Living Gently Valarie Kaur is a national interfaith leader, a documentary filmmaker, the founder of Groundswell, a lawyer who centers her work around the power of storytelling. She asks: What if this darkness we sometimes experience is not the darkness of the tomb but the darkness of the womb? What if we keep faith? What if we breathe and push?

Join me in thanking them for their generous service to the Cathedral
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 may be a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.

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!

All: Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord to children’s children and forevermore! Almighty God, we thank you that you have put it into the hearts of your people to make offerings. Remember them for good, and grant that all who benefit from their gifts may show their thankfulness to you by using it according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
