First Lesson
2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14
When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. Fifty men of the company of prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. Then Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, until the two of them crossed on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said, The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.
“Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.” He responded, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not.” As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha kept watching and crying out, “Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” But when he could no longer see him, he grasped his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He picked up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he had struck the water, the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and Elisha went over.
Psalm 77:1-2, 11-20 • spoken I will cry aloud to God; * I will cry aloud, and he will hear me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; * my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire; I refused to be comforted. I will remember the works of the Lord, * and call to mind your wonders of old time. I will meditate on all your acts * and ponder your mighty deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy; * who is so great a god as our God?
I will cry aloud to God; * I will cry aloud, and he will hear me.
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; * my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire; I refused to be comforted. I will remember the works of the Lord, * and call to mind your wonders of old time. I will meditate on all your acts * and ponder your mighty deeds.
Your way, O God, is holy; * who is so great a god as our God?
You are the God who works wonders * and have declared your power among the peoples. By your strength you have redeemed your people, * the children of Jacob and Joseph.
The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you and trembled; * the very depths were shaken. The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; * your arrows flashed to and fro;
The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; * the earth trembled and shook.
Your way was in the sea, and your paths in the great waters, * yet your footsteps were not seen. You led your people like a flock * by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Second Lesson
Galatians 5:1,13-25
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.� If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want.
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Hymn

Gospel
Luke 9:51-62
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
When the days drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village. As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you
wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon

• 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 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.

Homeward Bound
In the quiet misty morning When the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing And the sky is clear and red, When the summer’s ceased its gleaming, When the corn is past it’s prime, When adventure’s lost its meaning, I’ll be homeward bound in time. Bind me not to the pasture; Chain me not to the plow, Set me free to find my calling And I’ll return to you somehow.
Marta Keen If you find it’s me you’re missing, If you’re hoping I’ll return, To your thoughts I’ll soon be list’ning; In the road I’ll stop and turn. Then the wind will set me racing As my journey nears its end, And the path I’ll be retracing When I’m homeward bound again.

It is truly right, and good and joyful, to give you thanks, all-holy God, source of life and fountain of mercy. You have filled us and all creation with your blessing and fed us with your constant love; you have redeemed us in Jesus Christ and knit us into one body. Through your Spirit you replenish us and call us to fullness of life. Therefore, joining with Angels and Archangels and with the faithful of every generation, we lift our voices with all creation as we sing: Sanctus

S 125
Blessed are you, gracious God, creator of the universe and giver of life. You formed us in your own image and called us to dwell in your infinite love. You gave the world into our care that we might be your faithful stewards and show forth your bountiful grace. But we failed to honor your image in one another and in ourselves; we would not see your goodness in the world around us; and so we violated your creation, abused one another, and rejected your love. Yet you never ceased to care for us, and prepared the way of salvation for all people. Through Abraham and Sarah you called us into covenant with you. You delivered us from slavery, sustained us in the wilderness, and raised up prophets to renew your promise of salvation. Then, in the fullness of time, you sent your eternal Word, made mortal flesh in Jesus. Born into the human family, and dwelling among us, he revealed your glory. Giving himself freely to death on the cross, he triumphed over evil, opening the way of freedom and life. On the night before he died for us, Our Savior Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his friends, and said: “Take, eat: This is my Body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” As supper was ending, Jesus 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 poured out for you and for all 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.
Remembering his death and resurrection, we now present to you from your creation this bread and this wine. By your Holy Spirit may they be for us the Body and Blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. Grant that we who share these gifts may be filled with the Holy Spirit and live as Christ’s Body in the world. Bring us into the everlasting heritage of your daughters and sons, that with all your saints, past, present, and yet to come, we may praise your Name for ever. Through Christ and with Christ and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, to you be honor, glory, and praise, for ever and ever.
The Great Amen 9
The Lord’s Prayer • BCP 364 • contemporary version Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral, and our guests, Our Way of Love conversation begins today (noon til 1:00 in the Library) and continues through mid-August.
The Way of Love is a guided discussion which will lead us in the creation of our own personalized “Rule of Life”. It was imagined by our Presiding Bishop, Michael Curry. He writes:
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. You may have logistical concerns, but note that:
• if you have a busy summer schedule, you can make it work. The Way of Love doesn’t require a lot of advanced preparation (though there are materials to follow if you would like to look through them ahead of Sunday). • if you need to miss a Sunday, it won’t be a problem. If you are away for the weekend, you can keep up ‘on the road’.
Consider being part of this exciting opportunity for reflection and conversation. Sundays, Noon til 1:00 in the Library through mid-August. You’ll be glad you did. On another topic—you may have noticed: summer hymns are more familiar, more relaxed. I hope you are enjoying them. Do you have a favorite from the 1982 Hymnal or Wonder, Love and Praise that you’d like for us to include? Let us know—tell me or Frazier, or fill out the form on the Insert and place it in the Offering Plate. Give us your suggestion and we’ll fit it in between now and Labor Day. Then make sure you’re here on Sundays to sing it! As you prepare for worship, consider the words of Thomas Merton:
It has never been either practical or useful to leave all things and follow Christ. And yet it is spiritually prudent. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim, On this Third Sunday after Pentecost

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.

Digital Giving
A campaign has been created for online giving with an option to give for general support. The goal is unlimited, but in the future items can be added with specific goals if needed. Payments are made online through Amazon.com with a credit or debit card. The Cathedral will receive a check each month less a 5% payment processing fee. 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.

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.
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.
Search for the next Dean
Your Dean Search Committee: Mike DaRif, Kirt Jacobs (Chair), Jan Margerum, Susan Marquardt, Stephanie Potter, Paul Real, Katherine Stevenson, Jim Walsh, Kay Shields Wilkinson. Many thanks to them for their commitment to this task. We bid your prayers for the Search Committee as it does this important work.
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!
