The Word of God Collect for the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom, you know our necessities before we ask and our ignorance in asking: Have compassion on our weakness, and mercifully give us those things which for our unworthiness we dare not, and for our blindness we cannot ask; through the worthiness of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. • at the conclusion of the collect all sing:

First Lesson
Jeremiah 23:1-6
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the LORD. Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the LORD. Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will
raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the LORD. The days are surely coming, says the LORD, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: “The LORD is our righteousness.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 1 2 3 4 5 6
2
23 • spoken The LORD is my shepherd; * I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters.
He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; * for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; * you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.
Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Ephesians 2:11-22
Second Lesson
Remember that at one time you Gentiles by birth, called “the uncircumcision” by those who are called “the circumcision” -- a physical circumcision made in the flesh by human hands-- remember that you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace; in his flesh he has made both groups into one and has broken down the dividing wall, that is, the hostility between us. He has abolished the law with its commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new humanity in place of the two,
thus making peace, and might reconcile both groups to God in one body through the cross, thus putting to death that hostility through it. So he came and proclaimed peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near; for through him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. In him the whole structure is joined together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together spiritually into a dwelling place for God.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel
Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.
Glory to you Lord Christ
without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored the boat. When they got out of the boat, people at once recognized him, and rushed about that whole region and began to bring the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, into villages or cities or farms, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch even the fringe of his cloak; and all who touched it were healed.
The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, “Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them. As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon

He took my sins and my sorrows, he made them his very own; he bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered and died alone. refrain
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene, and wonder how he could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean. refrain: How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful is my Savior’s love for me!

A church in the heart of the city with a heart for the c ity For more on these and other Cathedral Matters go to . . . www.christchurchlouky.org Weekly E-Notes facebook.com/ChristChurchLouKY • Twitter.com/ChristChurchLou
from the Dean . . . . . My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Guests, As we move toward ever more vibrant worship, formation and outreach ministry at Christ Church Cathedral, we might find that it is a challenge to serve. We might look to Christ’s disciples—who, in today’s Gospel are probably exasperated with the seemingly endless line of people pressing for their help. But they learn that Christ’s compassion is transferrable. It is sufficient for their needs. It will be sufficient for our needs too. That is a good thing because we are busy this summer shoring up many established ministries and imagining new ones. I invite you to look for something that beckons you, and get involved: • Consider contributing to REBUILD THE CHURCHES FUND which has been established by our sister, Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis to help rebuild congregations torched in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia this past month or so. Read more about that on page 4. • Plan to get a SNEAK PEAK AT SUNDAY SCHOOL for our children and youth in August. Read more about that on page 3. • Pick a weekday and be part of a Midday Mass or Evening Prayer. It is a good way to deepen your faith and serve others with prayer. Read more about that on page 2. • Make laundry a possibility for folks who have a hard time budgeting for that in the face of other more pressing expenses. Read more about LAUNDRY LOVE on page 4. What is known as the Do it Anyway poem (written by Kent M. Keith) is engraved on the wall of Mother Teresa’s home for children in Calcutta. It represents the spirit—and the challenge of our Lessons today: The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; love and forgive and serve them anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway. I’m glad you are here today
Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim The Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

Enriching Our Worship continues throughout the summer
Enriching Our Worship (EOW),is a Eucharistic Prayer produced by the National Church Standing Liturgical Commission in 1998, and later approved for use by General Convention. It will not be new to you, because the Cathedral has used it before. In EOW, you will recognize the familiar shape of the Eucharistic prayer that we hear every Sunday: the Sursum Corda (‘the Lord be with you; and also with you’ ...), the Sanctus (‘Holy, holy, holy’ ...) and the Great AMEN. If you have not experienced EOW, you might enjoy its simplicity.

Stewardship Notes We are blessed and we can BE a blessing The Cathedral has received 88 pledges, totaling $300,600. That represents: • 33 increased pledges • 14 new pledges • 33 pledges with no change • 8 pledges with decreases
The goal remains 100 percent participation. If you have not registered your intention to give to God through Christ Church Cathedral, there’s still time. No amount is too large and no amount is too small. They all make a difference. If you have questions, this handy Q and A might help: How do I get a Pledge Card? There are Pledge Cards in the Narthex, at the south door, and at the office table. Just ask if you can’t find one. How can I submit a Pledge Card? You may mail in your Pledge Card, place it in the offering basin as it is passed any Sunday morning, or you may give it to a member of the Chapter, the Finance Committee, or to the Dean. How can I help even more? You can continue to pray with us. Try these words:
God of infinite blessing, when you fashioned the world the morning stars sang together and the host of heaven shouted for joy; open our eyes to the wonders of your creation and teach us to use all things for good, that we may be blessed and be a blessing so that all may live in your abundance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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!
