First Lesson
Genesis 21:8-21
The child grew, and was weaned; and Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing with her son Isaac. So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not inherit along with my son Isaac.” The matter was very distressing to Abraham on account of his son. But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed because of the boy and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for it is through Isaac that offspring shall be named for you. As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a nation of him also, because he is your offspring.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed, and wandered about in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.
When the water in the skin was gone, she cast the child under one of the bushes. Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot; for she said, “Do not let me look on the death of the child.” And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. And God heard the voice of the boy; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid; for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. Come, lift up the boy and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make a great nation of him.” Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. She went, and filled the skin with water, and gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy, and he grew up; he lived in the wilderness, and became an expert with the bow. He lived in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother got a wife for him from the land of Egypt.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 86:1-10, 16-17 • spoken Bow down your ear, O Lord, and answer me, * for I am poor and in misery. Keep watch over my life, for I am faithful; * save your servant who puts his trust in you.
Be merciful to me, O Lord, for you are my God; * I call upon you all the day long.
2
Gladden the soul of your servant, * for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, * and great is your love toward all who call upon you.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer, * and attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the time of my trouble I will call upon you, * for you will answer me.
Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord, * nor anything like your works.
All nations you have made will come and worship you, O Lord, * and glorify your Name. For you are great; you do wondrous things; * and you alone are God.
Turn to me and have mercy upon me; * give your strength to your servant; and save the child of your handmaid. Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; * because you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
Second Lesson
Romans 6:1b-11
Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.
We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Hymn Gospel
655
O Jesus, I have promised
Matthew 10:24-39
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said to the twelve disciples, “A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household! “So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows. The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher
Nicene Creed • BCP 358

“Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven. “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. “For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughterin-law against her mother-in-law; and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household. “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.”
Prayers of the People • these prayers incorporate quotes from Intercessions for the Christian People, together with original material appropriate for use during the season of Pentecost
With confidence, let us turn to our God in prayer, saying: Lord, hear our prayer. Let us pray for people throughout the world who are suffering random violence, social disruption, economic distress and war; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for our own country: that we might become a force for peace rather than conflict, a source of hope rather than discontent. We pray for President Trump, for Governors Bevin and Holcomb and for the Mayors and Councils of our cities and towns; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for the Church throughout the world: for the Church of the Province of South East Asia and for the people and clergy of Resurrection Church, Louisville; may the Spirit dwell in Michael our Presiding Bishop, in Terry our Bishop and in our clergy and ministers. May all of us, called to be brothers and sisters in Christ, become effective and reliable messengers of hope in this troubled world; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us give thanks for those who defend our country, the women and men of this city who daily work for civil justice, for those who keep us safe, and for those working in hospitals, schools, restaurants and hotels. We give thanks for the birthday of Joe Tincher. We now offer our own thanksgivings, silently or aloud. . . . . . . . . . . Continue your blessing upon us all; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for this immediate neighborhood – our parish: we pray for those who live and work here and for those who have no work and no home, particularly homeless and troubled veterans of military service; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for ourselves: may we have the grace to rejoice with those who rejoice, to share grief with others in their sadness, but most of all, may we be quick to forgive and slow to take offense. Let us pray for those on the Cathedral prayer list, especially Jack Jacobs, Carol Kendall, Norma Laufer, Larry Otto, Gary Pope, Donna Pottinger, James Searcy, Carolyn Van Zant, Randy Wells, Betty Banton, Carol Brown, Charles Cooksey, Gretchen Davis and Angie Halliday. We now offer our own prayers of intercession, silently or aloud. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Give peace to the dying and comfort to their families; give us strength and courage to face the challenges of daily life; Lord, hear our prayer.

Confession and Absolution • Enriching Our Worship God of all mercy, we confess that we have sinned against you, opposing your will in our lives. We have denied your goodness in each other, in ourselves, and in the world you have created. We repent of the evil that enslaves us, the evil we have done, and the evil done on our behalf. Forgive, restore, and strengthen us through our Savior Jesus Christ, that we may abide in your love and serve only your will. Amen

Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral June 25, 2017 www.christchurchlouky.org
My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Today, we begin a brief time of using Enriching Our Worship (EOW), Eucharistic Prayer One. As part of that, we will use the EOW Confession and Absolution, the contemporary Lord’s Prayer, and the EOW PostCommunion Prayer. You will find the Confession in your Service Bulletin, and the two prayers in the EOW Card in the pocket of the chair in front of you. You might wonder why we use EOW when we have a number of Eucharistic Prayers in our Prayer Book—check out the You Asked box on page 2 for some thoughts on that. Enjoy this new way to pray thanksgiving to God. And let me know how you experience the different language.
Dr. Catherine Meeks will be with us in just five weeks, on Sunday July 30. In addition, she will be leading her Dismantling Racism Workshop that weekend at Our Merciful Savior, one of our Urban Ministry Partnership parishes. Read more about that weekend and how you might be involved—on page 3. I will be out of the office later this week and through July 8. But if you have a pastoral emergency, please call. The Pastoral Care number is: 502-632-3213. Fr. Bill Bippus and Fr. Edgar Wallace will be with you next week, and I’ll return on the 9th. As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of C. S. Lewis:
When Christians say that the Christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. When they speak of being ‘in Christ’ or of Christ being ‘in them,’ this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about Christ or copying Him. They mean that Christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of Christians are the physical organism through which Christ acts—that we are His fingers and muscles, the cells of His body.
I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Third Sunday after Pentecot

Daily Prayer Online

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 at the Cathedral
Our first Sunday evening Compline was a wonderful success. Twenty-four of us were in attendance for this meditative experience. We began with fellowship in the Garden, and moved into the cathedral for the music (this became necessary due to more city sounds than we had anticipated—especially medical helicopters!). Your next chance to join us for Compline is Sunday, July 9, 7:15 for fellowship in the Garden, and 7:30 in the Cathedral for an other-worldly spiritual event. YOU ASKED
Why do we use Enriching Our Worship during some summer months? We are familiar with the Eucharistic Prayers in our Book of Common Prayer. We typically use Prayer A (page 361) for the season of Lent, Easter and Pentecost; Prayer B (page 367) for the seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany; Prayer C (page 369) for September and October; Prayer D (page 372) for various feast days and special liturgies. So why look for anything different? A Cathedral should experience in a year all that the Episcopal Church has to offer in the way of worship resources—Enriching Our Worship (EOW) is one of our resources, authorized by the Episcopal Church in 2006. It has the same basic shape that the Eucharistic Prayers in our Prayer Book have. Take time these weeks to look for that and to see if different words lead you to different experiences in worship.
we study Sunday 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 Acts of the Apostles. You are invited to join the group at any time.
Children’s Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School is on break for the summer. We will return on Sunday, September 17. Children’s Sunday School uses a clergy, chapter, parent and parishioner-led Montessori-based curriculum.
We have added to our team: Art Specialist, Stephanie Potter; Assistant Presenter, Carol Syvertsen; and several special aides. Special thanks to Dorothy Converse, Hollis Real, Chase Durnil, Katie Grace Gilliam, Hunter Gilliam and Dr. Mike Foster. Contact Dean Pritcher if you would like to help with class preparation.
Dismantling Racism: A Workshop
Our Adult Study Series has been based on Dr. Catherine Meeks’ recently published book, “Living into God’s Dream: Dismantling Racism” (Morehouse Publishing, 2016). Now Dr. Meeks is coming to Louisville July 28 – 30. A small group of parishioners from the Urban Ministry Partnership parishes (Calvary, Our Merciful Savior, St. George’s and the Cathedral) will take part in a Workshop on Friday evening (July 28) and Saturday (July 29). The Workshop will be held in Dudley Fellowship Hall at Our Merciful Savior. In addition, Dr. Meeks will join us at the Cathedral on Sunday, July 30, for both services and for Adult Forum following the 10:30 service. Make your plans to be with us on Sunday— more information to come on the Workshop. (Dr. Meeks is the retired Clara Carter Acree Distinguished Professor of Socio-Cultural Studies at Wesleyan College and serves as the Chair of the Beloved Community: Commission on Dismantling Racism of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. Dr. Meeks is a a Provisional in the Society of St. Anna the Prophet).
MEET: Patsy Melton, Clerk of the Chapter. She has been a member of Christ Church Cathedral since 2013. Raised in the Christian church, Patsy also attended the Lutheran church, before becoming a faithful Episcopalian. Prior to coming to the Cathedral, she was a Senior Warden, served on the Vestry and sang in the choir at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Patsy was born and raised in southern Indiana, is a widow with two grown children and two grandchildren. She is retired from her nursing career after earning a diploma in nursing followed by a bachelor’s degree from Indiana University Southeast, then a master’s degree in nursing administration at Indiana University/ Purdue University in Indianapolis. Following ten years of clinical nursing in adult intensive care, she progressed through the administrative ranks becoming an Asst. Administrator/ Vice President for Nursing at Norton Hospital. Patsy serves on the Altar Guild, as well as ringing bells, providing coffee hour, & participating in the Community Breakfast. She is an avid IU basketball fan and enjoys cross stitching.
we work Next Community Breakfast is July 2

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, 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.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/dryers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Next Laundry Love event is Thursday, July 13. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach). Contact Dorothy Converse or Mike DaRif if you have questions. BE KIND Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a post-trauma specialist who has worked with WWI, WWII, Korean and Vietnam War soldiers who were living with quadriplegia, soldiers and their families dealing with PostTraumatic Stress Disorder, prisoners, and severely injured ‘cast-away’ children—men, women and children who have had good reason to fear. She writes: when a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for. Many are launching their ships in the midst of great fear. Be kind.

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. 7

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!
