As the holy season of Lent is a penitential season marked by more austere and humble forms of worship, we will kneel during the times of prayer. If you are unable to kneel, you may sit. Sitting, instead of standing, is a form of hospitality that does not block the sight lines of those who choose the kneeling posture.

Welcome

We are blessed to have you worship with us. All ages are welcome, however, we do offer child care during the liturgy. u Please join us for refreshments immediately following the liturgy. u u

worship, in the form of quiet meditation, begins with the prelude

Prelude

O Lamm Gottes, unschuldig

The Great Litany • S-67 O God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth,

O God the Son, Redeemer of the world, Have mercy upon us. O God the Holy Ghost, Sanctifier of the faithful, Have mercy upon us. O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, one God, Have mercy upon us. Remember not, Lord Christ, our offenses, nor the offenses of our forefathers; neither reward us according to our sins. Spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and by thy mercy preserve us for ever.

First Lesson

Genesis 9:8-17

God said to Noah and to his sons with him, “As for me, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you, and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the domestic animals, and every animal of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

Psalm 25:1-9 • sung by all

To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul; my God, I put my /trust in you; * let me not be humiliated, nor let my enemies triumph /over me. Let none who look to you be / put to shame; * let the treacherous be disappointed /in their schemes. Show me your ways, O / L ORD, * and teach /me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and /teach me, * for you are the God of my salvation; in you have I trusted all /the day long. Remember, O LORD, your compassion and / love, *

for they are from /everlasting. Remember not the sins of my youth and my trans/gressions; * remember me according to your love and for the sake of your good/ness, O LORD. Gracious and upright is the /LORD; * therefore he teaches sinners /in his way. He guides the humble in doing /right * and teaches his way /to the lowly. All the paths of the LORD are love and / faithfulness * to those who keep his covenant /and his testimonies.

Second Lesson

1 Peter 3:18-22 which a few, that is, eight persons, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you-- not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.

Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark, in The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Hymn 150

Gospel

Mark 1:9-15

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.

Glory to you Lord Christ

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.” And the Spirit immediately drove The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sermon

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher

him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him. Now 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.”

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

The Peace

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.

• all greet one another in the name of the Lord

The peace of the Lord be always with you.

people

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. â&#x20AC;˘ here a Proper Preface is sung or said on all Sundays

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who was tempted in every way as we are, yet did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. OR

You bid your faithful people cleanse their hearts, and prepare with joy for the Paschal feast; that, fervent in prayer and in works of mercy, and renewed by your Word and Sacraments, they may come to the fullness of grace which you have prepared for those who love you. 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:

Sanctus

WLP 851

Reprinted by permission, OneLicense.net A-715318

â&#x20AC;˘ as the Eucharistic Prayer continues all kneel Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, 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 we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ. 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 February 18, 2018 www.christchurchlouky.org

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,

I’m so happy to be back with you after a couple weeks of rest. I am grateful for the good service of the Cathedral’s Priest Associates, Rev’ds Edgar Wallace and William Bippus, preaching and presiding these last two Sundays. And the pastoral care of your deacon the Rev’d Deacon Eva Markham who wo-manned the Pastoral Care line. I hope you take a moment to thank them as well. Plan to be with us for our Lenten Journey—for Sunday worship, 8:30 and 10:30; and Midday Mass, weekdays at noon. In addition, check out the Lenten Devotions from the national church (at the entrances) and the daily meditations in N. T. Wright’s book (you’ll find the link for that book on page 3). Finally, mark your calendars for Holy Week and Easter Day: • • • • •

Palm Sunday, March 25, 8:30 am and 10:30 am; Maundy Thursday, 7:00 pm; Good Friday, Noon and 7:00 pm Easter Vigil, March 31, 7:30 pm Easter Day, April 1, 8:30 am and 10:30 am

Lent can bring to mind grim thoughts and depressing obligations; the Great Litany can seem to be too much (read more about that in Give Thanks on page 2). But consider that we can also find profound joy in revisiting God’s expectations for a faithful life. As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Lucien Deiss: When Israel thinks of the ten words of the covenant, it does not start sighing as though it were contemplating a burden, or groaning as though it were weighed down by them; its attitude is one of gratitude and praise. God’s word is refreshment for the soul, joy for the heart, light for the eyes; it is more desirable than purest gold, sweeter than syrup or honey from the comb (Ps. 19:8-15). In receiving it, Israel did not receive a set of police regulations, but its own freedom, not chains, but the bonds that tenderness creates. N. T. Wright, in his reflection for this First Sunday of Lent, suggests that we take heed of the words of the Psalm appointed for today. Psalm 25 points to God’s path and God’s truth. A worthy goal, and prayer, for all of Lent might be: Lead me, O Lord, in your truth, and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation. I am glad that you are with us today—and I hope you will join us at Coffee Hour, which will be in Dean’s Hall (rather than Bishops’ Hall). Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this First Sunday in Lent

we pray New or Updated This Week — Midday Mass Update

Midday Mass

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.

SERVICES OF THE SEASON Palm Sunday, March 25, 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Maundy Thursday, March 29, 7 p.m. Good Friday, March 30, Noon and 7 p.m. Easter Vigil, March 31, 7:30 p.m. Easter Day, April 1, 8:30 and 10:30 a.m.

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 a.m., 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. GIVE THANKS Many Episcopal churches will begin the First Sunday of Lent with the Great Litany. We are chanting it this morning—you will see it printed in your Service Bulletin, beginning on page 2. Giving Thanks might not be what first pops into your mind when you think of the Great Litany, but there is much to be grateful for in these words. They help us to reflect upon who we are—who we could be. And they give us a framework for working toward that. The Great Litany is a good way to start a service which culminates in Eucharist—the Great Thanksgiving. Give Thanks.

we study New or Updated This Week — Lent’s Big Read

Lent’s Big Read

Join us in reading N. T. Wright’s meditation on Lent, Lent for Everyone: A Daily Devotional, for Year B. Here is the link for purchasing the book on Amazon: https://www.amazon. com/Lent-Everyone-Mark-Year-Devotional/ dp/0664238947/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encodi ng=UTF8&qid=1517096015&sr=1-3. You will hear Wright’s words crop up throughout the season— in sermons, letters, articles and on Facebook. Read and be part of the conversation.

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.

Children’s Sunday School

Children’s Sunday School meets at 9:45 in Dean’s Hall. 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.

Dean’s Forum

Dean’s Forum 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.

we work Next Community Breakfast is March 4

The next Community Breakfast is March 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) met 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 18, 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

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.

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’.

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!

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.

Parking at the Cathedral

Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings at 3 locations: 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.

Digital Giving

Women’s Lunch Bunch

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.

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. 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!
