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. The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 104:25-35, 37 • sung by all
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 Le/viathan, * 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 re/turn to their dust. You send forth your Spirit, and they are cre/ated; * 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 moun/tains 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 re/joice in the Lord. Bless the Lord, O my /soul. * /Hallelujah!

Second Lesson
1 Corinthians 12:3b-13
No one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another
the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-Jews or Greeks, slaves or free-- and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Hymn 513 Gospel
Like the murmur of the dove’s song
John 20:19-23
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they
saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon
The Reverend William Bippus

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.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Today is one of the principal feasts of the Church—the Day of Pentecost: Whitsunday. Whitsunday is ‘white Sunday’—‘wit’ or ‘wisdom’ Sunday, the day when the apostles were filled with wisdom by the Holy Spirit. This day represents the ending of 50 days of ups and downs for the early followers of Christ: bereft after his death; puzzled by his resurrection; buoyed by his presence during Eastertide; hit again with his departure at the Ascension.
On the Day of Pentecost, they receive the promised Helper—Christ’s way of assuring them and us that he will always be present. Damasus, of the 4th century, describes Christ as: Hope, Life, Way, Salvation, Understanding, Wisdom, Light, Judge, Door, Most High, King, Precious Stone, Prophet, Priest, Messiah, Sabaoth, Teacher, Spouse, Mediator, Sceptor, Dove, Hand, Stone, Son, Emmanuel, Vineyard, Shepherd, Sheep, Peace, Root, Vine-stock, Olive Tree, Source, Wall, Lamb, Victim, Lion, Intercessor, Word, Man, Net, Rock, House: Christ Jesus is everything. Take a moment to find the one (or more) word images of Christ that mean most to you— or come up with a few of your own to explore in the weeks after the Day of Pentecost. Today is the last Sunday for the Choir to lead our music in worship (though, thankfully, some will be back next week to help us sing St. Patrick’s Breastplate!). The Choir and Choirmaster Daniel Gilliam will be on break for the summer, to return Sunday September 10. I am so grateful for their good and faithful ministry. Please take a moment following the service to tell them how much you appreciate their hard work. I am glad that you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Day of Pentecost: Whitsunday

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.
Compline in the Garden - June 11
Join in our summer experiment of Compline in the Garden, beginning next Sunday evening, June 11 at 7:30 pm. Compline is a brief sung service—a gift to us and to our neighborhood. Join us! YOU ASKED
Why do we ‘pass the peace’
Peace (Hebrew shalom) describes the experience of fullness or completeness— lacking nothing that one needs for a full and happy life. It is a gift that comes with God’s presence—and a goal for the life of a community of faith. ‘Passing the peace’ is a wish for fullness of life, for union with God, and harmony with one another, which leads to happiness for all.

Celebrating CLOUT’s Successes
On May 23, all CLOUT Network members came together to celebrate the year’s work. It was a festive evening as we enjoyed a wonderful potluck dinner and cheered our accomplishments. We now begin the Investment Drive, and small groups of CLOUT members will be meeting with local corporations to encourage them to invest in bringing justice to our community. This financial investment begins with CLOUT Network members making their personal commitment. Christ Church Cathedral’s Network members have committed $4,600 ($600 over our goal), with $3,800 already collected as of Tuesday night. The total committed from all CLOUT congregations is over $50,000. If you were not able to participate with your time and presence over the past months but would like to participate with a monetary investment, speak to any of CCC’s CLOUT Team: Page Curry, Mildred Franks, John Kiesel, Jim Monin, and Mildred Payne. Also, if you would like to become a Network member, contact any member of the current team.
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.

STEWARDSHIP NOTES Jim Wallis, a Christian writer and political activist , writes: The Holy Spirit is the source of community, and the Spirit’s work is more related to the building of community than to the edification of the isolated individual. Belonging to a community of faith, such as Christ Church Cathedral strengthens us and one another. Look for ways to deepen our bonds—Cathedral Life can help. If you would like to be part of that ministry, contact Randy Peters or Patsy Melton.
we build New or Updated This Week — Office Volunteers

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.
