ear People of God, Our Lenten journey has taken us to through some strange, new ah e h t territory this year. Together, we have had to learn how to create ear t for community without the ability of being physically present with one another. Together, we have worked to assure that our Cathedral is able to continue to do the work that God has called us to do, both for our parishioners and our neighbors. God has been faithful through it all, blessing us with all that we need to make our way through this wilderness road and on to Easter Day. As we approach Holy Week, we wanted to offer you some suggestions on how you can mark this sacred time in your own homes. You’ll find a link to download a document called “Holy Week and Easter at Home” through our website. Open it and discover how you can hold a Maundy Thursday Agapé meal, Venerate the Cross, make your own Paschal Candle, and more. If you need help getting any of the supplies mentioned in the document, let us know and we’ll be happy to help you find them. You’ll also be able to join with us as we live stream our worship throughout the week. Check the “Worship and the Arts” section of this edition of Cathedral Matters for service times each day. When you join us, you’ll likely notice some faces from around the Diocese of Kentucky. St. Peter’s, Louisville, St. Andrew’s, St. Thomas, Louisville, and Calvary will all be partnering with us as we worship together. In this difficult time, I am giving thanks to God for these signs of our unity in Christ and am looking forward to seeing how God deepens our connection with one another in the future. We are also pleased to announce that we have made an overhaul to the Cathedral’s website that will allow you to give online. The form will allow you to designate our contribution as a part of your pledge or designate one of several special ministries that you can support. You can even choose to make a slight increase in your donation to cover the cost of processing. While your gifts are always important to support the ministry we do together, they are even more crucial currently. Thanks to all of you who have continued to faithfully support us during a difficult time in all our lives. Finally, I have some exciting news about a new opportunity to connect and deepen your spiritual journey. This Sunday, Tom Peters held a test run of a Bible study through Zoom conferencing with some of our intrepid fellow parishioners. If everything goes smoothly, we hope to open this opportunity to any who would like to join beginning next Sunday, April 5 at 9 a.m. Stay tuned for more information. There isn’t space to list the names of all of you who have made this transition to virtual church possible. Know I am giving thanks for each of you, with particular prayers for your continued health and safety Your brother in Christ, Matt+

service to others During the Covid-19 crisis, more families than ever are vulnerable to hunger. Donations this weekend made it possible for us to serve a RECORD 34 families on Monday! Folks are noticing that many of the usual sites they visit are closed or they need and can’t get an appointment to get food, so our walk-up, fresh-air site made the difference between a healthy meal and hunger for many today. We continue to struggle to locate non-perishable food items in quantity. If you are able to contribute canned veggies, soups, canned chicken, Ramen, peanut butter, spaghetti and sauce, hotdogs, bread, or sweets, we need them! One volunteer called her friends, told them the need, and then did porchpickup from them, which brought us a carload of food! Every can and jar helps! We also need toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and soap to offer. Donations can be dropped off at Calvary Episcopal Church, 821 S. 4th, at their side door off the parking lot between 9 and 1 Mon-Thurs, or at the CLCM office at First Unitarian between 9 and 3. You can also make a financial contribution through the fundraiser on our CLCM Facebook Page. Call (502) 587-1999 for more information, or if you need or know someone who needs help with utilities, rent, prescriptions, or food. Thank you all!
