First Lesson
2 Samuel 7:1-14a
When the king was settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, the king said to the prophet Nathan, “See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God stays in a tent.” Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that you have in mind; for the Lord is with you.” But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan: Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: Are you the one to build me a house to live in? I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent and a tabernacle. Wherever I have moved about among all the people of Israel, did I ever speak a word with any of the tribal leaders of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?” Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the

pasture, from following the sheep to be prince over my people Israel; and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth. And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may live in their own place, and be disturbed no more; and evildoers shall afflict them no more, as formerly, from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a house. When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come forth from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me.
Psalm 89:20-37 • spoken I have found David my servant; * with my holy oil have I anointed him. My hand will hold him fast * and my arm will make him strong.
No enemy shall deceive him, * nor any wicked man bring him down. I will crush his foes before him * and strike down those who hate him.
My faithfulness and love shall be with him, * and he shall be victorious through my Name. I shall make his dominion extend * from the Great Sea to the River.
He will say to me, ‘You are my Father, * my God, and the rock of my salvation.’ I will make him my firstborn * and higher than the kings of the earth.
I will keep my love for him for ever, * and my covenant will stand firm for him. I will establish his line for ever * and his throne as the days of heaven.”
“If his children forsake my law * and do not walk according to my judgments; If they break my statutes * and do not keep my commandments;
I will punish their transgressions with a rod * and their iniquities with the lash; But I will not take my love from him, * nor let my faithfulness prove false.
I will not break my covenant, * nor change what has gone out of my lips. Once for all I have sworn by my holiness: * ‘I will not lie to David. His line shall endure for ever * and his throne as the sun before me;
It shall stand fast for evermore like the moon, * the abiding witness in the sky.’ “

Second Lesson
Ephesians 2:11-22
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
The Word of the Lord.
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.
Thanks be to God.

Mark 6:30-34, 53-56
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to Mark.
Glory to you Lord Christ
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 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 Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. Sermon

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 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.

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 WLP 858
8
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.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Today’s readings remind us that God is constant in care for us. In the first lesson, God gives David the promise of an eternal kingdom for his heir. In the Epistle, Paul writes to the Ephesians of the reconciling work of Christ, who is the peace between Gentiles and Jews. And, in the Gospel, Jesus shows compassion to the crowds of hungry people, who remind him of sheep without a shepherd. Our relationship with God is strengthened when we are aware of our need. When we look to God for sustenance. As you prepare for worship today, consider these words of Martin Buber, from Tales of the Hasidim: When I wander—You! Where I ponder—You! Only You, You again, always You! You! You! You! When I am gladdened—You! When I am saddened—You! Only You, You again, always You! You! You! You! You above! You below! In every trend, at every end, Only You, You again, always You! You! You! You! I’m glad that you are here. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Ninth Sunday after Pentecost.

we work Justice Ministry Through CLOUT
The Cathedral is one of the 20 congregations that make up CLOUT: CITIZENS of LOUISVILLE ORGANIZED and UNITED TOGETHER. Our Mission: CLOUT builds the power of religious congregations to solve community problems by holding systems accountable. Our Vision: CLOUT’s vision is a city of justice where its systems assure that all people are treated fairly. Christ Church Cathedral has been a member of CLOUT for two full years now. Here are some of the accomplishments during that time: • From zero funds dedicated to Affordable Housing, to $10 million allocated in the city budget to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund—the first full funding in the Trust Fund’s 10-year history. • A win of $5 million allocated by JCPS for improved behavior programs. Restorative Practices has been implemented in 18 schools. One of those schools, Waggener HS, has already seen a 35% reduction in behavior incidents and 100 fewer suspensions this year over last, and RP is to be extended to 10 additional schools in the coming year. • In response to CLOUT’s efforts to have Mental Illness and Addiction treated as health issues rather than criminal justice issues, Metro Council allocated $325,000 last year to start a “Living Room” program at Centerstone. This program provides stabilization services 24/7 to persons in crisis, not only helping the clients, but also reducing pressure on jails and emergency rooms. Approximately 800
persons have been served in this program since it opened last December, and $1 million has been included in the city budget for the coming year so this program can continue. THANK YOU, CLOUT Network members! Your presence and efforts have helped make these good things happen in and for our city. And thanks to all who joined us at the Nehemiah Action Assembly. Your presence made a difference.
St. George’s Scholar Institute
Laptops: We did it! Together with the Church of the Advent, Cathedral donors took the joint effort over the top. As a result, the five students will get carrying cases as well as their computers, and there is seed money for next year. The Board and staff of St. George’s are thrilled and most grateful to all the donors—16 couples and single donors at CCC. What a generous outpouring of love for these 5 young people as they start their college careers! A list of the recipients and their schools will be posted next week on the bulletin board, along with a picture of them as they receive the laptops. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. School supplies: The rest of SGSI’s kids will return to school in just over a month. If you would like to contribute any supplies [complete list on bulletin board by the office], please bring them on July 15, 22 or 29. Page will take the items to the California Center, where we are now located [16th & St. Catherine St.], for a give-away on Aug. 5. Any contributions much appreciated; used binders in good condition are fine for the high school students.

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.
Pastoral Care
If you have a Pastoral Care Emergency or Concern, call Dean Pritcher any time on the Pastoral Care line: 502-632-3213.

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.
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.

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!
