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

First Lesson

Deuteronomy 26:1-11

When you have come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, “Today I declare to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the Lord your God, you shall make this response before the Lord your God: “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great nation, mighty The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, we cried to the Lord, the God of our ancestors; the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O Lord, have given me.” You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house.

Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16 • sung by all

He who dwells in the shelter of the /Most High, * abides under the shadow of /the Almighty.

He shall say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my /stronghold, * my God in whom I /put my trust.” Because you have made the Lord your /refuge, * and the Most High your /habitation,

There shall no evil happen to/ you, * neither shall any plague come near /your dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over /you, * to keep you in /all your ways. They shall bear you in their /hands, * lest you dash your foot a/gainst a stone.

You shall tread upon the lion and /adder; * you shall trample the young lion and the serpent un/der your feet. Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I de/liver him; * I will protect him, because he /knows my Name.

He shall call upon me, and I will /answer him; * I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring /him to honor. With long life will I satisfy /him, * and show him /my salvation.

Second Lesson

Romans 10:8b-13

“The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and

one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Gospel

Luke 4:1-13

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

Glory to you Lord Christ

After his baptism, Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’” Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said to him, “To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

answered him, “It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’” Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.

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

The Peace

with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and 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 thanks and praise are yours at all times and in all places, our true and loving God; through Jesus Christ, your eternal Word, the Wisdom from on high by whom you created all things. You laid the foundations of the world and enclosed the sea when it burst out from the womb; you brought forth all creatures of the earth and gave breath to humankind. Wondrous are you, Holy One of Blessing, all you create is a sign of hope for our journey; and so as the morning stars sing your praises we join the heavenly beings and all creation as we shout for joy:

Sanctus

WLP 858

• as the Eucharistic Prayer continues all kneel Glory and honor and praise to you, holy and living God. To deliver us from the power of sin and death and to reveal the riches of your grace, you looked with favor upon Mary, your willing servant, that she might conceive and bear a son, Jesus your holy child. Glory and honor are yours, Creator of all, your Word has never been silent; you call a people to yourself, as a light to the nations, you delivered them from bondage and led them to a land of promise. Of your grace, you have Jesus to be human, to share our life, to proclaim the coming of your reign and give himself for us, a fragrant offering. Through Jesus Christ our Redeemer, you have freed us from sin, brought us into your life, reconciled us to you, and restored us to the glory you intend for us. We thank you that on the night before he died for us Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, gave to his friends and said: “Take, eat, this is my Body, broken for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper Jesus took the cup of wine, said the blessing, gave it to his friends and said: “Drink this, all of you: this cup is the New Covenant in my Blood, poured out for you and for all for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.” And so remembering all that was done for us: the cross, the tomb, the resurrection and ascension, longing for Christ’s coming in glory, and presenting to you these gifts your earth has formed and human hands have made, we acclaim you, O Christ: Dying, you destroyed our death. Rising, you restored our life. Christ Jesus, come in glory! Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts of bread and wine that they may be to us the Body and Blood of your Christ. Grant that we, burning with your Spirit’s power, may be a people of hope, justice, and love. Giver of Life, draw us together in the Body of Christ, and in the fullness of time gather us with [blessed , and] all your people into the joy of our true eternal home. 12

Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, we worship you our God and Creator in voices of unending praise. Blessed are you now and for ever. The Great Amen

• at the conclusion of the Great Thanksgiving all sing:

The Lord’s Prayer • BCP 364 • contemporary version Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

Frederick Buechner, in his book Whistling in the Dark, has some interesting thoughts on the Christian observance of Lent, which began a few days ago on Ash Wednesday. He writes that in many cultures there is an ancient custom of giving a tenth of each year’s income to some holy use. For Christians, to observe the forty days of Lent is to do the same thing with roughly a tenth of each year’s days. After being baptized by John in the River Jordan, Jesus went off alone into the wilderness where he spent forty days asking himself the question: What does it mean to be Jesus? During Lent, Christians might ask, one way or another, what it means to be themselves. Questions such as: • When you look at your face in the mirror what do you see in it that you most like, and what do you see that you might want to change? • Of all the things you have done in your life, which is the one you would most like to undo? Which is the one that makes you the happiest to remember? • If this were the last day of your life, what would you do with it? It is customary to spend the forty days of Lent giving up certain things that we enjoy. But it can also be a time to add things to our lives, such as time and space for reflection. Buechner’s questions might be a good start. Your Cathedral offers much that might help you in this important work: Weekdays Every Day of Lent April 14 April 18 April 19 April 20 April 21

Sharing Faith Dinners

Bishop White has invited all congregations of the diocese to participate in the Sharing Faith Dinners, a program intended to draw us deeper into the work of engaging our faith. He writes that “this resource is being offered by the Departments of Christian Formation, and Mission and Evangelism, in response to the call in his address to the 189th Diocesan Convention to renew our focus on adult baptism and evangelism. It will benefit our congregations and our ministry as a diocese.” Sign-up sheet for participating in a gathering is on the Office Bulletin Board. Let the Dean know if you have questions.

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.

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.

Cathedral Congregation Art Show

The Art Show last year was such a success that we will reprise it this year on May 19. All congregation members and their close family members are welcome to submit up to three pieces each. Let Randy Peters know no later than April 21 if you or your family member, will enter work, how many pieces and their titles. There will be a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board in a few weeks as well. We will prepare a listing of items so you will not have to make labels. If someone is interested in purchasing a piece, he or she should work directly with the artist to discuss a sale. We ask you to have your pieces at the Cathedral no later than May 5 so we can plan for displaying them. They will be kept secure. We are excited about this second art show this year and thank everyone for making last year such a success.

Search for the next Dean

Your Dean Search Committee: Mike DaRif, Kirt Jacobs (Chair), Jan Margerum, Susan Marquardt, Stephanie Potter, Paul Real, Katherine Stevenson, Jim Walsh, Kay Shields Wilkinson. Many thanks to them for their commitment to this task. We bid your prayers for the Search Committee as it does this important work.

Stewardship at the Cathedral

Prayerfully consider how you would like to support the ministry of Christ Church Cathedral for 2019. Pledge cards are available at the west and south entrances to the Nave, and on the office sideboard. You have also received a pledge card in the mail. Register your intention on your pledge card and return it by mail or on any Sunday. We have received 83 Pledges totaling $ 299,437

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

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. 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!
