Let us pray.

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. • at the conclusion of the collect all sing:

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, * 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

1 Corinthians 15:1-11

I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you--unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred

brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them-though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Hymn 200

Come ye faithful raise the strain

Gospel

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 The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Chirst.

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 to her.

Sermon

The Right Reverend Terry Allen White

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

Prayers of the People

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.

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 especially James Searcy, Ginger Shackleton, Tim Tice, Carol Brown, Charles Cooksey, Gretchen Davis, Maurice Gordon, Carol Kendall, Norma Laufer, Jerry Marsh, Helen Murray, Donna Pottinger, Jo Ann Reazin. We pray for those who seek the man or woman who will be the Cathedral’s next Dean. We give thanks for our many blessings. We pray for those who have died. 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.

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. But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life. 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

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.

The Breaking of the Bread Fraction Anthem • S 156

• families of choir members may receive the sacrament together at the beginning of the

Children of choristers may return to their seat or join their family for the remainder of the service in the chancel. • any baptized person from any Christian tradition who wishes to encounter the Real Presence of the Risen Christ in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood is welcome to receive Holy Communion.

Please call (the number is 502-632-3213) and I will respond. I want to thank those who have 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. And be sure to join us for refreshments following this service. But before, as you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of St. Clement:

All things have become light, never again to set . . . this is the new creation.

I’m glad you are here today. Faithfully,

we work CLOUT Nehemiah Assembly, 2019

For years, CLOUT has sought to unite 1,000 for our annual meeting with city officials, and this is the year we finally met that goal: 1,062 people gathered on March 26 to learn what CLOUT was asking, and how the Metro Council members, representatives of agencies and JCPS Superintendent Marty Pollio responded to its requests. Christ Church Cathedral was represented by 54 congregants and friends, only 6 short of our goal of 60. Other congregations that met or came close to their goals were Epiphany Catholic, 71 [75]; First Unitarian, 71 [70]; Fourth Ave. UMC, 56 [47]; Jeff St. Baptist, 100 [115].THANKS to all who attended and who brought friends as well! The next phase of CLOUT’s work will be follow-up on promises made by officials at the Assembly and investment. CLOUT members are asked to invest $200, or whatever they are able to; other members of the congregation can help the effort by investing any

amount. The new CLOUT website allows us to invest online, or checks may be given to CLOUT team leaders Page Curry, Mildred Franks or Jim Monin. Teams of 4 or 5 members from different congregations also visit a number of companies in Louisville to seek their investment in an organization that makes our city a safer, better place in which to live and work. CLOUT’s budget is modest, but our two organizers are full-time employees of the DART network who train us how to recruit new members, maintain interest and involve our members in doing research.

Racial Reconciliation Ministry Update

The focus of this ministry is to select readings and events that will help us as a congregation to understand our role in moving forward with reconciliation and repentance. We will also adopt a church-wide curriculum called “Sacred Ground” beginning soon after Lent. For more information, speak to Linda Kiesel, John Kiesel, or Terry Laun.

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.

The Cathedral Office will be closed on Easter Monday. Hours for the rest of the week are 10 am – 1 pm., and the building is open from 9 am til 4:30 pm. To see Frazier Marsh, Parish Administrator, come between 9:00 and 11:00 am. However, if you have a pastoral care need at any time and cannot get through, the pastoral care line is always open 502-632-3213.

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.

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. 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!

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 84 pledges totaling $300,662.

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.

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 reference. Now, read about our ministry, think about how you would like to be involved...and jump right in!

Quarterly Report on the Endowment

April 2019

The members of Christ Church Cathedral make a difference every day with their involvement in a wide variety of causes and organizations not only in this community, but also in those which go far beyond our local borders. If a list were to be made of these many involvements and activities, it would most likely be overwhelming in its depth and breadth. And this doesn’t count the many involvements in the specific programs and outreach activities What counts in life is not for, and on behalf of, the Cathedral. the mere fact that we have

lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead. —Nelson Mandela

There is another way we can extend our reach beyond our individual kindnesses and works on behalf of the causes we care about. We can make a contribution to the Cathedral’s Endowment Corporation Legacy Society, extending our commitment to future generations of Cathedralgoers and the long - term work of the Cathedral. You need only confirm your intention to make a gift from your estate in writing. The amount of your gift is not required to be part of the Legacy Society. There are several ways to make gifts to the endowment:

• Provide a bequest in your will, a life-time gift of an IRA or tangible property, appreciated stock, or life insurance policy. • Designate memorial and thank offering gifts be placed in the endowment. • Make gifts to the endowment on a monthly basis by bank draft or check.

The Cathedral congregation is small and its members do much to share their time and talents, as well as by making annual financial commitments to operations. Please consider making a commitment to the endowment to secure the future of our nearly 200 year old church and its programs. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. In the first quarter of 2019 4 gifts were made to the Endowment totaling $950. As of March 31, funds managed by the Corporation exceeded $1,000,000.

We Pray . . .

Prayer is at the heart of Christian community. We use this space to bring before God and the community the needs of those we love. Please submit prayer requests for yourself and others to the church office: info@christchurchlouky.org. We will include those names here so that the community may join you in prayer.
