Prayer of St. Gregory Hymn 207
G.F. Handel Alan Hovhaness
Jesus Christ is Risen Today
Opening Acclamation Alleluia, Christ is risen. The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia. Song of Praise • Christ Our Passover
Jeffrey H. Rickard
refrain
Not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Alleluia! Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. The death that He died, He died to sin, once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. So also consider yourselves dead to sin, and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Alleluia! refrain
2
Christ being raised from the dead, the first-fruits of them that have fallen asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adan all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Alleluia! refrain

The Word of God Collect for the Feast of the Resurrection
O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. • all be seated
First Lesson
Acts 10:34-43
Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ-he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both
in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 • sung by the choir
Daniel Pinkham
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; * his mercy endures for ever. Let Israel now proclaim, * “His mercy endures for ever.” The LORD is my strength and my song, * and he has become my salvation. There is a sound of exultation and victory * in the tents of the righteous: “The right hand of the LORD has triumphed! * the right hand of the LORD is exalted! the right hand of the LORD has triumphed!” I shall not die, but live, *
3
and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD has punished me sorely, * but he did not hand me over to death. Open for me the gates of righteousness; * I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the LORD. “This is the gate of the LORD; * he who is righteous may enter.” I will give thanks to you, for you answered me * and have become my salvation. The same stone which the builders rejected * has become the chief cornerstone. This is the LORD’S doing, * and it is marvelous in our eyes. On this day the LORD has acted; * we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Second Lesson
Colossians 3:1-4
If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
4
for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

John 20:1-18
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the
tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

Renewal of Baptismal Vows Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?
I do. Do you believe in God the Father?
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?
I will, with God’s help.
Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?
I will, with God’s help.

Prayers of the People
Intercessions for the Christian People
Alleluia! What was dead shall live; what was dark shall shine; what was forgotten shall be remembered, for the Lord is risen and walks among us. Let us confidently bring before God the needs of all our world, asking God for renewal, saying: Christ is risen, Christ is risen indeed. God of life, in gratitude and great joy we laud you for the gifts of Christ’s resurrection. On this day give us hope, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
On this feast day which brings joy to all Christian believers, may we commit ourselves to work toward the unity of the church, that Christ’s body may be one, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
Honoring the gift of Christ’s risen body, may we rise to serve all those whose needs keep them from seeing themselves as the image of God; for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
For all who have need of the gift of Easter; for all who journey from illness to health, from despair to hope, from grief to consolation, from loneliness to love for all our brothers and sisters, that death may have no more power over us, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
For all who suffer and all who mourn, that today the Lord God will wipe away all tears, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
For Michael, our Presiding Bishop, Terry, our Bishop, and for all priests, deacons, and ministers who serve in this place, that our community of faith may become a faithful community, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
May we have the persistent faith of Mary Magdelene and the surprised belief of Peter and John. May we long to be God’s sign of life in our world, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
May we be one in faith with all who have died in Christ, for our life is hid with Christ in God; for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
We pray for those on our Cathedral prayer list: Larry Otto, Gary Pope, Donna Pottinger, James Searcy, Tim Tice, Ruth Wukasch, Robert Bozeman, Carol Brown, Charles Cooksey, Gretchen Davis, Jack Jacobs Carol Kendall and Norma Laufer and we give thanks for the birthdays of Tom Thill and Steven Wheatley. We now offer our own prayers of intercession and thanksgiving either silently or aloud. We ask this in confidence, for Christ is risen:
Christ is risen indeed.
God of life, we thank you for the mystery planted in us, the paradox of life from death and community from scattered disciples. We praise you for the dying which saves us from death and for the rising which brings us life. We pray, as we live, through Jesus the risen one, in the power of the Holy Spirit, now and forever.
Amen.

The Peace • all greet one another in the name of the Lord The peace of the Lord be always with you.
And also with you.
Holy Communion Offertory Anthem
Light’s Glittering Morn
Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky; Heaven thunders forth its victor cry; The glad earth shouts her triumph high, And groaning hell makes wild reply, While he the King of glorious might Treads down death’s strength in death’s despite, And trampling hell by victor’s right, Brings forth his sleeping saints to light. Hell’s pains are loosed, and tears are fled; Captivity is captive led; The angel crown’d with light, has said, “The Lord is risen from the dead.” We pray thee, King with glory decked, In this our paschal joy, protect From all that death would fain affect Thy ransom’d flock, thine own elect.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our
Welcome to our Celebration of the Resurrection. I hope you are finding everything you need. Let us know if we can help. Take a moment to read about what the rest of life is like in our community of faith. CATHEDRAL MATTERS includes information about worship, spiritual formation, service, fellowship, and more (note the seasonal closures in italics). Find something that fits. Try it on. And let me know if you have questions or comments. The Cathedral is closed on Monday of Easter Week, and Midday Services are on break for the entire week, but if you have a pastoral need at any time, know that the pastoral care line is never closed. Please call—the number is 502-632-3213—and I will respond.
I want to thank those who made this week of worship possible: Bishop White, Canon Coultas and Canon Lewis; Vergers and Acolytes; the Altar Guild; Cathedral Life; Chalice Bearers; the Choir, Choirmaster, Organist and Musicians; Hospitality Volunteers; those who decorated our spaces; Lectors and Intercessors; Office Volunteers; Ushers; and the Cathedral Staff. I invite you to take a moment to thank them as well. Join us for refreshments following this service. But before, as you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Phillips Brooks: Let every man and woman count himself immortal. Let him catch the revelation of Jesus in his resurrection. Let him say not merely, ‘Christ is risen,’ but ‘I shall rise.’ I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Feast of the Resurrection: Easter Day

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 am, 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. 2
Compline in the Garden
Compline in the Garden will begin in June and continue through the Summer. 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. YOU ASKED
What is the new lamp in the Chapel?
Following ancient custom, the Book of Common provides that the consecrated bread and wine may be reserved for the communion of the sick or others who for “weighty cause” could not be present at the celebration (pp. 408-409). The new lamp in the Chapel is a Sanctuary Lamp. It is placed above the reserved sacrament—and is lighted when the reserved sacrament is present. Tom Thill, our Sacriston, made our Sanctuary Lamp.
we study Sunday Bible Study
Every Sunday, 9:15 a.m. in the library
Adult Bible Study is on break for Easter Day, but returns next Sunday, April 23. 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 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, Hollis Real, Chase Durnil, Katie Grace Gilliam, Hunter Gilliam and Dr. Mike Foster. Contact Dean Pritcher if you would like to help with class preparation.

Dr. Adam Protos, who
has been worshiping with us since Fall of ’16. Having been born, raised, and confirmed in the Greek Orthodox Church, Adam is choosing to become part of the Episcopal Church and he will be received at the Vigil. Adam grew up in Roswell, GA— just north of Atlanta. He studied at University of GA and Chicago Medical School, and now is completing training as a cardiothoracic surgery fellow at Jewish Hospital. Adam, his partner Josh (who is working on a degree in Organizational Development at the Business School of U of L), and his Great Danes, Paris and Emma, have enjoyed Louisville. Next up: he has accepted a position in Jackson, Mississippi and will be leaving us in June. Take a moment to wish Adam well before he leaves.
we work Next Community Breakfast is May 7
The next Community Breakfast is Sunday, May 7, 8:45 – 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.

CLOUT
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
The Cathedral’s year-long work on justice ministry through CLOUT came to fruition on Tuesday, March 28, when 56 members and friends of CCC joined 1,026 others of faith from CLOUT’s 22 member churches at the annual Nehemiah Action Assembly. CLOUT (Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together) has worked for 25 years with great success in highlighting issues that affect the whole community. At the assembly, community officials and stakeholders committed to specific progress toward solutions to public health and safety crises in our community. This year CLOUT’s efforts focused on three areas: increasing funding for affordable housing, implementing and expanding Restorative Practices in Jefferson County public schools, and setting up a community-wide roundtable for those in health and criminal justice to begin to implement best practices programs that address the treatment of mental health and addiction. You can expect to hear more about CCC’s Justice Ministry as the team continues to work through CLOUT during the coming year to research and expand its efforts.
Downtown Episcopal Outreach (DEO)
Don’t be afraid of CHANGE—put it in the DEO Pig! DEO supports the Lunch Bags Program, Laundry Love, Kentucky Refugee Ministry and addresses gap needs that arise in service agencies throughout central Louisville. Using the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and working with outreach partners including Central Louisville Community Ministries, Our Merciful Savior Episcopal Church and St. George’s Episcopal Church, we help with expenses such as ID application fees, prescription drugs, utilities, and some transportation costs. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.

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, a 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 2,110 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.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/dryers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Next Laundry Love event is Thursday, May 11. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach). Contact Dorothy Converse or Mike DaRif if you have questions.

BE KIND Leonardo Boff wrote, in Way of the Cross, Way of Justice:
All those who die like Jesus, sacrificing their lives out of love for the sake of a more dignified human life, will inherit life in all its fullness. They are like grains of wheat, dying to produce life, being buried in the ground only to break through and grow. There are many men and women, today, who die for their faith. We will most likely not be called to do that. But choosing to honor and respect one another also demands a sacrifice. Choose to be kind.
we listen Urban Ministry Open House Fellowship Coffee Hours
The Cathedral is one of four Urban Ministry core congregations in downtown Louisville. The other three are St. George’s, Our Merciful Savior and Calvary. During Lent and Easter, we are visiting each parish’s Coffee Hour to enjoy one another’s hospitality and fellowship. The Cathedral hosted the event in February and the response was great. Now, I ask that we go to the two upcoming Coffee Hours: April 30 at Our Merciful Savior (473 S. 11th St.); and May 21 at Calvary (821 S 4th St.). Each will be at 12:30 pm.
Flowering the Cross
On Easter Sunday, April 16th, there will be the annual Flowering of the Cross. It will be held in the Narthex at 10:00 a.m. and all are invited to participate in this lovely tradition. As in the past, the flowers are donated by the Browns and Frittons. Please come join us!!
Alleluia Party and Easter Sunday
Again this year we will celebrate after the Easter Vigil with a reception. Please let Randy Peters know if you can provide something yummy for this or if you can help with setting up or cleaning up. We will also have coffee hour on Easter Sunday so we can enjoy the children’s Easter Egg hunt. Since we do not have a coffee hour host scheduled for that day, would someone be willing to be the host and just put out food which we will have after the reception for the Vigil? Please contact Randy Peters if you can help.
Greetings!
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.

The Cathedral will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork. 6
STEWARDSHIP NOTES Edwin McNeill Poteat writes in ‘Palm Sunday and Monday’:
They pluck their palm branches and hail Him as King, Early on Sunday; They spread out their garments; hosannas they sing, Early on Sunday. But where is the noise of their hurrying feet, The crown they would offer, the sceptre, the seat? Their King wanders hungry, forgot in the street, Early on Monday. If you would like to be part of a ministry that addresses the needs of those who are ‘hungry, forgot in the street’ every day, check out CLOUT (Citizens of Louisville, Organized and United Together), a justice ministry that Christ Church Cathedral supports. Read more about it on page 3.

The Rev’d William L. Bippus and the Rev’d R. Edgar Wallace are Priest Associates at the Cathedral. They have served for some time now: on Sundays, preaching and presiding; on weekdays, in support of Midday Mass; and daily, offering sage advice from their wealth of experience in parish ministry. 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: 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 referenc Tuesday in Holy Week e. Now, read about our ministry, think about how you would like to be involved...and jump right in!
