First Lesson
Amos 7:7-17
This is what the Lord God showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “See, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by; the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.” Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the very center of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words. For thus Amos has said, `Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.’” And Amaziah said to Amos, “O seer, go, flee away to the land of The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
2
Judah, earn your bread there, and prophesy there; but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.” Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I am no prophet, nor a prophet’s son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees, and the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, `Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ “Now therefore hear the word of the Lord. You say, `Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.’ Therefore thus says the Lord: `Your wife shall become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be parceled out by line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”
Psalm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
82 • spoken
God takes his stand in the council of heaven; * he gives judgment in the midst of the gods: “How long will you judge unjustly, * and show favor to the wicked? Save the weak and the orphan; * defend the humble and needy;
Rescue the weak and the poor; * deliver them from the power of the wicked.
They do not know, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; * all the foundations of the earth are shaken. Now I say to you, ‘You are gods, * and all of you children of the Most High; Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, * and fall like any prince.’”
Arise, O God, and rule the earth, * for you shall take all nations for your own.
3
Colossians 1:1-14
Second Lesson
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the saints and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ in Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father. In our prayers for you we always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. You have heard of this hope before in the word of the truth, the gospel that has come to you. Just as it is bearing fruit and growing in the whole world, so it has been bearing fruit among yourselves from the day you heard it and truly comprehended the grace of God. This you learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant. He is a faithful minister of Christ on your behalf, and he has made known to us The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

your love in the Spirit. For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may lead lives worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God. May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Gospel
Luke 10:25-37
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Just then a lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will live.” But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and when he saw him, he
passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, `Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Christ Church Episcopal Cathedral July 10, 2016 www.christchurchlouky.org
My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
We have followed eagerly the process of resettlement for our Syrian refugee family—read more about them on page 4. I’m happy now to report that our work has been successfully completed. Join me in giving thanks for Kentucky Refugee Ministries, our coordinator Page Curry, and everyone who contributed to welcoming this family to our city. Read more about the gathering of school supplies for St. George’s Scholars Center (on page 3) and plan to bring your donations in time for us to share them with the children and youth of St. George’s. Plan also to join us on the following Sunday, August 7, when we will bless backpacks in preparation for a new school year for our own Cathedral children and youth. We have a new telephone service at the Cathedral, and we hope it will take care of some of our problems with communications. Let us know if it helps—your feedback will be valuable. Many thanks to Chapter persons Michael Cooper, Aaron Angel and Kay Wilkinson for coordinating this project. Note the following Sunday events and plan to be with your church community: July 17 An ‘Altar Swap’ with 1st Lutheran Church August 7 Blessing our Backpacks and a new-school-year prayer September 11 Homecoming September 18 First Day of Children’s Sunday School October 2 Our animals will join us at 10:30 for a Blessing of Animals and all of Creation I will be on the job this week, but away from the office. That means that my internet access might be spotty at times—thanks for your patience as I may be later responding to your emails. However, I can be reached quickly on the pastoral care line: 502-632-3213. That number is always open. I will be serving next Sunday—but will be accomplishing an altar ‘swap’ with our sister parish, First Lutheran on Broadway. Pastor Austin Newberry will be with you—you will remember Pastor Austin from Ash Wednesday and Wednesday Midday Masses. Read more about him on page X and make him feel welcome next week—I’ll catch up with you at Coffee Hour!

As you prepare for worship today, consider these words of G. B. Caird: The conversation between Jesus and the lawyer perfectly illustrates the difference between the ethics of law and the ethics of love. To the lawyer eternal life is a prize to be won by the meticulous observance of religious rules: to Jesus love to God and neighbor is in itself the life of the heavenly kingdom, already begun on earth. The lawyer wants moral duties limited and defined with a rabbinic thoroughness; Jesus declines to set any limits to the obligations of love. Religion to the one is a set of restrictive regulations, to the other a boundless series of opportunities. I am glad you are with us today. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Austin Newberry
A native of Pensacola, Florida, Rev. Austin Newberry is pastor of First Lutheran in Louisville, KY. Pastor Austin first came to Southern Indiana in 1977 as a Roman Catholic college student at St. Meinrad Seminary. After college, he became a monk, completed his theological training and was ordained to the priesthood. Leaving the monastery and priesthood in 1997, he moved to Tallahassee where he worked for the Florida Bar and the Florida Supreme Court. Pastor Austin began attending a Lutheran church in 2001, eventually joined, and after discerning a call to return to ministry, he was accepted as a candidate for first call after completing some Lutheran specific coursework at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Pastor Austin presides at our Wednesday Midday Mass each week. He will be with us on Sunday, July 17—in an altar swap between the Cathedral and his parish, First Lutheran.

CLOUT (Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together)
CLOUT is an organization of 18 religious congregations and groups of over 12,000 members working together to solve critical community problems by holding systems accountable. The vision is based on scripture—particularly Micah 6:8 and Matthew 23:23-24, which state that God requires us to do three basic things: “do justice, love kindness (mercy), and walk humbly with God (faithfulness).” CLOUT recently ended a successful year on a very high note—it brought about the funding of JCPS work for Laundry Love—a Diocesan Urban restorative justice and building the Affordable Ministry Initiative Housing Trust Fund. Many thanks to Jim Laundry Love provides assistance to individuals Monin, Mildred Franks, Page Curry, Mildred and families that do not have washers/driers or Payne, John Kiesel and Linda Kiesel for their faithful support of this social justice ministry. cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to Prayerfully consider joining them for this next their budget.

In addition to serving breakfast, personal care and food items are always accepted for the food pantry and Central Louisville Community Ministry. We need your help—contact Randy Peters if you can do that.
Downtown Episcopal Outreach (DEO)
DEO addresses gap needs that arise in service agencies throughout central Louisville. Using the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and working with outreach partners including Central Louisville Community Ministries, Our Merciful Savior Episcopal Church and St. George’s Episcopal Church, we help with expenses such as ID application fees, prescription drugs, utilities, and some transportation costs. DEO contributes to the cost of Laundry Love and also covers the costs of the Lunch Bag program that Paul Real and his crew administer. The Lunch Bag program has given out more than 950 Lunch Bags this year. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.
Al Masri family update
The Al Masris continue to adapt to American culture while developing their skills in English. Meyer, 23, is now a waiter at the Queen of Sheba restaurant; he loves being able to speak Arabic with the owner, speak English with the clients – and probably have some great food on the side! The only downside is that it takes 2 hours on the bus to get there from the family’s apartment. However, he passed his driver’s test on the second attempt last Wednesday. Was he elated! Page will continue to let him practice with her car, and could use a volunteer or two to help. Now the search will be on for a good used car, once they have saved enough. Any leads appreciated! Dad, Mohammad Faisal, and Mom, Fryal, are working at KRM cleaning until their English skills are deemed advanced enough for a job. Thanks to John Werst, Mohammad Faisal will have one that uses his experience in plumbing and plumbing supplies. The “little ones”, Ali,8, and Fatima, 15, love their schools. 4
Mohammed, 20, is a bit of a mystery, but he is improving his English and does have experience as a waiter. Once the weather is consistently warm, we’d like to plan a zoo outing, followed by a picnic across the road in Joe Creason Park. This has been popular with our other refugee families. If you and your families would like to participate, please let Page know so that we can save a Saturday for it. Sunday afternoon might also work, with supper afterward.

Stewardship Notes “Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Creator, who created all the lights in the heavens. God never changes or casts a shifting shadow” James 1:17 Throughout the Bible, we are reminded that God is a giver of all good things. God gives us life and “this fragile earth, our island home”. Our entire life is a reflection of God’s abundance. Your on-going support of the cathedral inspires me and I’m deeply grateful. Thank you for your generosity. It enables our ministries and furthers our mission. Each week, we are nurtured in word and sacrament. Empowered by the Spirit, we can then go into the world to care for those who are ill or hurting, and welcome all those searching for a connection to God and community. My prayer during this season of stewardship is that God as Giver will awaken a new sense of abundance in all of us and an increased commitment to living generously. Prayerfully consider and register your intention to give to God through ministry at Christ Church Cathedral in 2016—you can find a Pledge Card in the pocket of the chair in front of you, at the entrances, or at the office credenza.
Thus far, we have received 87 pledges for the amount of $304,475.04. 12 of these are new pledges; 36 reflect an increase; 6, a decrease; 32 no change. Thank you! Generous God, in our love, teach us to be your hearts and hands in this world. Help us to feel your presence, to know your love, and to be your stewards in this world. We offer all of this up in the name of the Holy Trinity, one God. Amen.

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!
