Dear People of God,
On Wednesday Governor Beshear laid out the contours of the first phase of reopening in Kentucky. As you may have heard, part of his announcement discussed reopening houses of worship. According to the Governor, houses of worship will be permitted to hold public services beginning Wednesday, May 20. During this first phase, the reopening will be limited to the worship service itself. Other gatherings, such as Sunday School and Coffee Hour, will have to wait.
I am sure that many of you are excited about the possibility of coming together to worship in person. I share your excitement. Before we do so, however, and before we announce our own plans for making this possibility a reality, I want to emphasize a couple of key points.
First, while May 20 is the earliest date the Governor will permit houses of worship to reopen, this does not mean that we will necessarily be reopening the Cathedral on that date. Our decision about when we will hold public worship will be driven by guidance that we receive at the diocesan level and our ability to take all reasonable precautions necessary for the safety of our parishioners.
The Bishop, Canons, and Deans of the Diocese of Kentucky will be meeting with our counterparts from the Diocese of Lexington on Wednesday, May 6. We will have a conversation together regarding the safest and healthiest ways to respond to the Governor’s announcement. I will share the guidance that comes out of that conversation as soon as I am able. Second, whenever we make the decision to hold public worship again it will be important to keep in mind this will not be getting back to normal. We will operate at a significantly reduced seating capacity. Social distancing will need to be observed. Those who are at elevated risk will need to continue to worship with us at a distance. And these are only some of the changes that will need to take place for to begin to come back together. Though it is understandable that we eagerly anticipate being together again, I encourage all of us to remember the grace that is present with us right now. During this Easter season we celebrate the risen Christ who appeared to his disciples not in the Temple, but out in the world. Jesus’ disciples met their risen Lord on the road and on the mountain, in their homes and around their tables. Jesus is present with us, wherever we are. And we are united to one another in his Body the Church, now and always. Easter blessings, Matt+

life & fellowship Join us for Zoom Coffee Hour
We will host a virtual coffee hour using Zoom at 12:30 p.m. Just click on the link below to join the meeting. If you’ve never used Zoom, your device might need to download it – just follow the prompts. You can also call in using one of the numbers listed in the invitation
Tips on using Zoom: 1. Don’t use two devices in the same room for the meeting. Annoying feedback will likely be generated. Multiple individuals can view the same screen, of course. 2. If you know how, mute your audio – there will be a prompt on the Zoom screen – when not talking. Remember to unmute when you want to talk. If you aren’t sure how to mute audio, don’t make extra sounds when at the computer. Zoom will focus the conversation based on audio. 3. You may be asked to allow Zoom to use the camera (video) and microphone (audio). Agree to this. 4. If you have announcements for the group, you might want to write them down in advance. You can also type them into the chat window. 5. We will open the meeting a few minutes prior to 12:30. You can join then. Christ Church Cathedral is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

We have added a microphone and moved the monitor speakers from the high altar to just in front of the camera. You’ll also notice that the pulpit mic has come down to the movable ambo. Stay tuned for more improvements in coming days and thanks for sticking with us as we work through the glitches.

CEEP Network Resources for the COVID-19 Crisis, Free of Charge The CEEP Network Presents Pivoting and Expanding: Fulfilling the Mission God Gives Us in the Most Challenging Times
A Webinar for Denominational and Parish Leaders Thursday, May 7, 3:00pm EDT Prior to COVID-19, we were already facing challenges of declining attendance, funding constraints, and the average age of our parishioners increasing yearly. The trends at play prior to the COVID-19 pandemic continue, and most likely accelerating, bringing more urgency to the changes we need to embrace and sustain. While these are challenging times, they are times that magnify the challenges the church already faced. They are also times that present opportunities. The mission has not changed but our strategies must. Waiting for things to go back to the way they were will only find us further into the palliative care ward. Bold moves and a new vision are required of leaders in this time. Our panel will be addressing the real time information being gathered and what we should be planning for when we push these trends forward in the months ahead. Please register here: https://www.eventbrite. com/e/103747100370
