Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever.

First Lesson
Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31
Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: “To you, O people, I call, and my cry is to all that live. The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago.
3
Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water. Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth-when he had not yet made earth and fields, or the world’s first bits of soil. When he established the heavens, I was there, when he drew a circle on the face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established the fountains of the deep, when he assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters might not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, then I was beside him, like a master worker; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing before him always, rejoicing in his inhabited world and delighting in the human race.� The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Psalm
8 • sung by all
O Lord our /Governor, * how exalted is your Name /in all the world! Out of the mouths of infants and /children * your majesty is praised a/bove the heavens.
You have set up a stronghold against your /adversaries, * to quell the enemy and /the avenger.
When I consider your heavens, the work of your /fingers, * the moon and the stars you have set /in their courses, What is man that you should be mindful of /him? * the son of man that you /should seek him out?
You have made him but little lower than the /angels; * you adorn him with glo/ry and honor;
4
You give him mastery over the works of your /hands; * you put all things /under his feet:
All sheep and /oxen, * even the wild /beasts of the field,
The birds of the air, the fish of the /sea, * and whatsoever walks in the /paths of the sea. O Lord our /Governor, * how exalted is your Name /in all the world!
Second Lesson
Romans 5:1-5
Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings,
knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Hymn Gospel

Holy God we praise thy name
John 16:12-15
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to John.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said to the disciples, “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.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Sermon
The Reverend Jim Wilkinson
Nicene Creed • BCP 358
• all stand
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 with
Prayers of the People • BCP 385
the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and 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.

celebrant people
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. For with your co eternal Son and Holy Spirit, you are one God, one Lord, in Trinity of Persons and in Unity of Being; and we celebrate the one and equal glory of you, O Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
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
S 125

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
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.

Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral June 16, 2019 www.christchurchlouky.org
My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral, and our guests,
The idea of the Trinity has bewildered followers of Christ ever since the first rowdy discussions of the early church. Maybe you have heard some of the attempts at explanation: St. Patrick’s threeleafed shamrock; a person who is at the same time a parent, a spouse, and a sibling; water, which can be solid, liquid and vapor. Our preacher, the Rev’d Jim Wilkinson might have other ways to describe it. Today, in addition to celebrating the most holy Trinity, we have three things to acknowledge and celebrate: • It’s Father’s Day! • Fr. Jim Wilkinson is marking his fiftieth year in ministry. • Two couples—Rob and Barbara Beard and John and Linda Kiesel—observe their fiftieth year of marriage. We will ask special prayer for all in today’s Prayers of the People. Take time during Coffee Hour to commend the Kiesels, Fr. Jim, and the fathers among us (and plan to speak to the Beards when they be back in town). I hope you will be with us next week for the Feast of Corpus Christi. And I am glad that you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim, On this First Sunday after Pentecost: The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity

Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky Youth Choir
Many thanks to Stephanie Potter and Matt Wetmore, two of your Chapter members who are working with the Diocese to create an Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky Youth Choir. The high school level honor choir will participate in an intensive choir weekend at All Saints Retreat Center, beginning Thursday, August 1, and ending with a performance at Christ Church Cathedral in Louisville on Sunday, August 4. The Episcopal Kentucky Youth Choir hopes to bring high school musicians from across Kentucky together to make music at a high level—the likes of the public school All-State Choir or a Royal School of Church Music summer camp—with fellow Episcopalians as well as create friendships and memories of camp. We will let you know how you can help.
we study New or Updated This Week — The Way of Love
The Way of Love
The Way of Love class begins next week, Sunday, June 23, at noon in the Library. The curriculum is new and imagined by our Presiding Bishop Michael Curry. Bishop Curry writes: Today I believe our vocation is to live as the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement. But how can we together grow more deeply with Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, so we can bear witness to his way of love in and for the world? The deep roots of our Christian tradition may offer just such a path. For centuries, monastic communities have shaped their lives around rhythms and disciplines for following Jesus together. Such a pattern is known as a “Rule of Life.” The Way of Love: Practices for Jesus-Centered Life outlines a Rule for the Episcopal branch of the Jesus Movement.
Adult Bible Study
Every Sunday, 9:15 a.m. in the library Tom Peters leads a group in reading and studying through the Bible. The group is working its way through the Letters of St. Paul. You are invited to join the group at any time.
Sunday Childcare
Childcare continues through the summer beginning at 9:30 in Deans’ Hall.
we work New or Updated This Week — Racial Reconciliation Ministry
Justice Ministry through CLOUT
CLOUT held its annual Celebration on June 4. Twelve of CCC’s CLOUT Network members enjoyed food and fellowship with other Network members from congregations throughout the city. They heard updates on the issues that were addressed at the Nehemiah Action Assembly last March. Also, the group kicked off its Investment Drive. Network members, who throughout the year have invested their time, also invested financially. At the Celebration, over $32,000 was committed by Network members for the work of Justice Ministry with many individuals yet to be contacted. How is the money used? First of all, “the money” includes members’ investments, investments made by local businesses, dues paid by each member church, and grants received. CLOUT’s expenses include salaries and benefits of two full-time Organizers; rent for office space (currently located in the Fourth Ave. United Methodist Church); and office expenses such as computers, printer/ copier equipment, and supplies. Also, as a member of the umbrella organization, DART, CLOUT is assessed an amount each year, and in turn DART provides numerous training opportunities for network members and clergy. Thus a large portion
of the cost is covered for members to attend these training sessions, making them affordable for all. 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, and Jim Monin. Or, go to the CLOUT website: www.cloutky.org , and click on INVEST. It is never too late to invest in the Cathedral’s Justice Ministry.
Racial Reconciliation Ministry
The work of the Cathedral’s Racial Reconciliation discussion group continues throughout the summer. Join us for indepth discussion of issues and ideas gleaned through reading the following books. Even if you have not read the selected work, please come anyway. We generally meet every other Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at St. Matthews Episcopal Church.

Welcome Ministry
Have you ever gone to a church for the first time and no one spoke to you as you entered? That is a Greeter’s role of outreach--to make a person feel welcome as they enter a church for the first time. 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 will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork.

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!

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 Financial Report to the Parish
In continuation by the Treasurer Kay Wilkinson and the Finance Committee to provide an up-to-date financial status of Christ Church Cathedral to the parish, this report covers the first quarter of 2019. The final pledge amount for 2019 is approximately equal to the pledge amount for 2018. For the first quarter, the receipts from pledging givers significantly exceeded the budgeted projection in part due to the total year payment by one individual. In addition, the receipts from non-pledging “committed givers� were significantly above the projected budget amount for this category. During the first quarter there were no significant expenses. Furthermore, the Building Committee informed the Finance Committee that negotiations with Otis Elevator resulted in a sizeable reduction in monthly charges and a ceiling percentage on future annual increases. Although the financial position at present is very good, future expected expenses will continue to challenge cash flow needs. As pledged revenues represent approximately 60% of total revenues, timeliness of receipt of those revenues is critical in meeting cash flow needs to cover recurrent expenses. If you have any questions, please contact Kay Wilkinson or John Kiesel, Chair, Finance Committee. Other Finance Committee members are: Dean Joan Pritcher, Barbara Beard, Angie Halliday, Jerry Brown, Vance Fritton, and Michael Vincenti. The Finance Committee operates under the aegis of the Chapter which receives in-depth monthly reports.
