First Lesson
Acts 2:1-21
When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs-in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
`In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ “ The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 104:25-35, 37
Peter Hallock
O Lord, how manifold are your works! * in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, * creatures both small and great. There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan, * which you have made for the sport of it. All of them look to you * to give them their food in due season.
You give it to them; they gather it; * you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.
You hide your face, and they are terrified; * you take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust. You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; * and so you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; * may the Lord rejoice in all his works.
He looks at the earth and it trembles; * he touches the mountains and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; * I will praise my God while I have my being. May these words of mine please him; * I will rejoice in the Lord. Bless the Lord, O my soul. * Hallelujah!

Second Lesson
Romans 8:22-27
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see,
we wait for it with patience. Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Hymn 230 Gospel
A mighty sound from heaven
John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said to his disciples, ”When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning. “I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.
and judgment: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned. “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

E’vry time I feel the spirit
Ev’ry time I feel the spirit, Moving in my heart, I will pray; Yes, Ev’ry time I feel the spirit, Moving in my heart, I will pray.
Upon the mountain my Lord spoke, Out of His mouth came fire and smoke; Looked all around me, It looked so fine, till I asked my Lord if all was mine.

Ev’ry time I feel the spirit, Moving in my heart, I will pray; Yes, Ev’ry time I feel the spirit, Moving in my heart, I will pray.

It is truly right to glorify you, Father, and to give you thanks; for you alone are God, living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and for ever. Fountain of life and source of all goodness, you made all things and fill them with your blessing; you created them to rejoice in the splendor of your radiance. Countless throngs of angels stand before you to serve you night and day; and, beholding the glory of your presence, they offer you unceasing praise. Joining with them, and giving voice to every creature under heaven, we acclaim you, and glorify your Name, as we sing (say),

Sanctus WLP 858
11
We acclaim you, holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy you came to our help, so that in seeking you we might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you, and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation. Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the whole creation new. And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the sanctification of all. When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper with them he 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.” Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ’s death and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and ascension to your right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you have given us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you. We praise you, we bless you, we give thanks to you, and we pray to you, Lord our God. Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ.
12
Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name. Remember, Lord, your one holy catholic and apostolic Church, redeemed by the blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace. [Remember (NN. and) all who minister in your Church.] [Remember all your people, and those who seek your truth.] [Remember _____________.] [Remember all who have died in the peace of Christ, and those whose faith is known to you alone; bring them into the place of eternal joy and light.] And grant that we may find our inheritance with [the Blessed Virgin Mary, with patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, (with ___________) and] all the saints who have found favor with you in ages past. We praise you in union with them and give you glory through your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, all honor and glory are yours, Almighty God and Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.
The Great Amen
The Lord’s Prayer • BCP 364 • traditional version
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.

Laptops for St. George’s Graduates
Pete Womack, of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, a student in the Diocesan School of Ministry that forms deacons and ministers, is leading a drive to fund five inexpensive, sturdy laptops that five graduates of the St. George’s Institute can use as they move out of high school and into vocational school, a community or four year college. We are invited to join the coalition of five churches: St Matthew’s, St. Paul’s, Christ Church Cathedral, Advent and St. Andrew’s to make this possible. We are aiming to gather a total of $400 from Cathedral members; each dollar is welcome. Please designate “Laptop for a Graduate, SGSI” on your check. If cash, please attach a note with your name and address so that they can properly thank you! As we continue to reach across the great divide of 9th Street, Christ’s hands reach with ours to our neighbors. God’s Peace! Page Curry.
Justice Ministry Through CLOUT
The culmination of CLOUT’s year was the Nehemiah Action Assembly on April 17. All the meetings, the research, the explorations, the discussions which took place through the year came together at the Action, when CLOUT Network members and their guests asked community officials to take action to address issues that negatively impact citizens—the people in our congregations, in our neighborhoods, in our city. This year we asked for actions related to: 1) decriminalizing the mentally ill and drug addicted; 2) funding the Affordable Housing Trust Fund; and 3) expanding Restorative Practices to address disciplinary problems in JCPS schools. The Cathedral’s Network 51 members and guests helped to swell the numbers and strengthen the power. Many thanks to all who joined us. And
thanks to our Team members who organized our effort: Page Curry, Eva Markham, Jim Monin and Mildred Franks. In addition, recently Tim Tice spoke up for the Living Room project and the Cathedral signed on to the Op-Ed piece printed by the Courier-Journal. There will be more updates to come.
Next Community Breakfast is June 3
The next Community Breakfast is June 3, 8:30 – 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.

Central Louisville Community Ministries
Central Louisville Community Ministries (CLCM), formerly Help Ministries of Central Louisville, is one of the oldest community ministries in the city of Louisville. It was created in 1968 by ministers in the downtown area to respond in a structured way to the requests for help that came to churches. CLCM gives direct and personal assistance to residents of the central Louisville community who are in need; to provide a place where residents feel welcome and can receive referrals and shortterm emergency assistance; to advocate on behalf of clients for the improvement of the quality of assistance from providers of public and private services; to create and implement programs that build a sense of community among clients, churches, businesses, and the public and private social sectors; and to provide opportunities to fulfill their urban missions by combining their resources, both financial and human.

Ronald McDonald House “Adopt A Meal”
As Christ Church Cathedral continues to explore opportunities to serve our neighbors, The Ronald McDonald House offers a unique relationship. Our discussions with staff at The Ronald McDonald House revealed their “Adopt A Meal” program in which organizations or individual groups of 8 to 10 individuals select a weekday evening or weekend brunch to prepare and serve a meal. The group determines the meal menu, purchases all foodstuffs, prepares the meal in R. McD. House kitchen, sets it up as a buffet, and cleans up. The staff recommends the meal be prepared for 65 to 80 individuals. No dishes or baked goods can be prepared at home, but may be purchased pre-cooked from a commercial vendor and brought into the R. McD. House in their original commercial containers. Participation in this endeavor can be either by active participation in cooking/serving the meal and/or by contributing monies to cover expenses for the meal. Since all expenses are not part of the CCC budget, donations can be made to CCC with notation on the check “Ronald McDonald House Meal”. If you are interested in being involved in meal preparation/serving, please contact either Deacon Eva Markham (ermarkham@gmail.com) or John Kiesel (jlkiesel@msn.com) . We hope to get this activity underway in the near future.

Financial Report to Parish May 2018
Treasurer Kay Wilkinson and the Finance Committee are initiating quarterly reports to the parish to provide concurrent updates on the financial position of Christ Church Cathedral’s operating budget. This report covers the first quarter of 2018. The Cathedral experienced a significant increase in the number of pledges, rising from 77 in 2017 to 87 for this year. However, even with this welcome increase in number, this portion of total revenues did not increase comparably. Receipts for this stream of revenue have exceeded this quarterly budget due to an individual paying his/her pledge for the year in full in January. The timeliness of these revenues is critical as the pledges amount to 62% of total revenues. No significant expenses occurred during the quarter that had a significant impact on the budget. The 2018 budget accepted by the Chapter and Parish contained a 6.25% deficit, which is undesirable, but manageable if no unexpected expensive events occur. The realized deficit at the end of this quarter is significantly below the projected level in the budget. If you have any questions, please contact Kay Wilkinson or John Kiesel, Chair, Finance Committee. Other Finance Committee members are Barbara Beard, Jerry Brown, Vance Fritton, Angie Halliday, Dean Joan Pritcher, and Michael Vincenti. The Finance Committee operates under the aegis of the Chapter, which receives in-depth monthly reports.
Office Hours
The Cathedral Office hours are Tuesday – Friday, 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. This week, the Pastoral Care
number is answered by Deacon Eva Markham, and is: 502-262-1457.
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.

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!
