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

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

First Lesson

Genesis 15:1-12,17-18

The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.” But the word of the Lord came to him, “This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.” He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to

possess.” But he said, “O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” He said to him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.”

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 27

•

sung by the choir with congregational refrain

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? * the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?

When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, * it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who stumbled and fell. Though an army should encamp against me, * yet my heart shall not be afraid; And though war should rise up against me, * yet will I put my trust in him. refrain

One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; To behold the fair beauty of the Lord * and to seek him in his temple.

For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; * he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock. Even now he lifts up my head * above my enemies round about me.

refrain

Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; * I will sing and make music to the Lord. Hearken to my voice, O Lord, when I call; * have mercy on me and answer me.

You speak in my heart and say, “Seek my face.” * Your face, Lord, will I seek. Hide not your face from me, * nor turn away your servant in displeasure.

You have been my helper; cast me not away; * do not forsake me, O God of my salvation.

refrain

Though my father and my mother forsake me, * the Lord will sustain me.

Show me your way, O Lord; * lead me on a level path, because of my enemies.

Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries, * for false witnesses have risen up against me, and also those who speak malice. What if I had not believed that I should see the goodness of the Lord * in the land of the living!

refrain

O tarry and await the Lord’s pleasure; be strong, and he shall comfort your heart; * wait patiently for the Lord. refrain

Second Lesson

Philippians 3:17-4:1

Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven,

and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. • all stand

Hymn 148 Gospel

Creator of the earth and skies

Luke 13:31-35

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

Glory to you Lord Christ

Some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them, “Go and tell that fox for me, ‘Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’ Jerusalem, The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Sermon

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher

â&#x20AC;˘ all stand

Nicene Creed â&#x20AC;˘ 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 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.

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. • 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 855

• 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 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.

Prayer after Communion Eternal God, heavenly Father, you have graciously accepted us as living members of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ, and you have fed us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral, and our guests,

We are well on our way through a meaningful Lent—a season which will deepen our relationship with God and strengthen our hope. Plan to include in your Lenten observance some of the opportunities for devotion that we have put into place: • Daily Eucharist, Noon in the Chapel (read more on page 2) • 46 Words for 46 Days (read more about how to find them on page 2) Read all of our Lenten, Holy Week and Easter Day schedule on page 2. A reminder of (and an addition to) my announcement of the winners of our Chili Cookoff last week: hottest chili, Paul Real; most unusual chili, Daniel Gilliam; best all-round chili, Cinthy Fanning AND her master chef associate (and son) Bing! Many thanks to them—and all our chefs—for feeding us on Shrove Tuesday. The Spirituality Book Group that meets monthly at the Omni is beginning the new curriculum, the Way of Love. If you are interested, join in—or plan to begin with another group that will begin this Summer. As you prepare for worship consider these words of Edward R. Sims from A Season with the Savior: Jesus is a Messiah without a messiah complex. He promises only what a latterday realist promised: blood, sweat, and tears. No quick victory, no easy conquest, no instant paradise. Instead: Leave self behind ... take up your cross ... let yourself be lost for my sake. I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim, On This Second Sunday in Lent

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.

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 is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board. 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.

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 $300,137.

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!
