First Lesson
2
Isaiah 5:1-7
Let me sing for my beloved my love-song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; he expected it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes. And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? When I expected it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are his pleasant planting; he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard a cry! The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm 1 2 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
80:1-2, 8-18 • spoken
Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; * shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim. In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, * stir up your strength and come to help us. You have brought a vine out of Egypt; * you cast out the nations and planted it. You prepared the ground for it; * it took root and filled the land.
The mountains were covered by its shadow * and the towering cedar trees by its boughs. You stretched out its tendrils to the Sea * and its branches to the River.
Why have you broken down its wall, * so that all who pass by pluck off its grapes?
The wild boar of the forest has ravaged it, * and the beasts of the field have grazed upon it.
Turn now, O God of hosts, look down from heaven; behold and tend this vine; * preserve what your right hand has planted. They burn it with fire like rubbish; * at the rebuke of your countenance let them perish.
Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, * the son of man you have made so strong for yourself. And so will we never turn away from you; * give us life, that we may call upon your Name.
Restore us, O Lord God of hosts; * show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.

Second Lesson
Hebrews 11:29-12:2
Now faith is the assurance of things By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as if it were dry land, but when the Egyptians attempted to do so they were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell after they had been encircled for seven days. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had received the spies in peace. And what more should I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets-- who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched raging ďŹ re, escaped the edge of the sword, won strength out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to ight. Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, refusing to accept release, in order to obtain a better resurrection. Others suffered mocking and ogging, and even The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

chains and imprisonment. They were stoned to death, they were sawn in two, they were killed by the sword; they went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, persecuted, tormented-- of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. Yet all these, though they were commended for their faith, did not receive what was promised, since God had provided something better so that they would not, apart from us, be made perfect. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
Alleluia Verse
Gospel
•
sung by cantor, then all
Luke 12:49-56
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus said, “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother,
mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, `It is going to rain’; and so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, `There will be scorching heat’; and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests, Welcome to worship at the cathedral. I hope you are finding what you are looking for.
If you are interested in justice ministry, consider attending today’s CLOUT meeting at 12:00 in the Library. Come ask questions and learn more about how you can be part of the effort.
If you are interested in race relations in Louisville, check out the League of Women Voters’ event “Racism: Justice and Changing Hearts & Minds”, tomorrow evening. Read more about that on page 3 . And plan for these future events: September 11 October 2 November 20
Homecoming: Covered Dish Lunch in Bishops’ Hall and fun for the children in Dean’s Hall. Our animal companions will join us at 10:30 for a Blessing of all Creation—if your animal is timid, he/she may rather come for the smaller Garden Blessing at 1:00. Our Feast of Name
Signing up for a Kroger card is a good way to contribute to ministry at the Cathedral. It doesn’t cost you a thing, but when you have the card, Kroger contribute to us each time you make your routine purchases. Read more about signing up on page 6.
As you prepare for worship today, reflect upon these words of Amma Syncletica, a fourth-century Macedonian desert mother:
“In the beginning there is struggle and a lot of work for those who come near to God. But after that there is indescribable joy. It is just like building a fire: at first it is smoky and your eyes water, but later you get the desired result. Thus we ought to light the divine fire in ourselves with tears and effort.” I am glad you are here today Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost

Next Community Breakfast Sept. 4
The next Community Breakfast is next Sunday, September 4, 8:45 – 9:30 a.m., in Bishops’ Hall. Serving our friends, neighbors, and fellow parishioners is one of the most rewarding ministries at Christ Church Cathedral, and you should be involved. 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.
Reaching Out for Outreach
Central Louisville Community Ministries, formerly known as The Help Office, is our downtown area ministry working with and helping to support those in need in the 40202, 40203 and 40208 zip codes. The ministry assists households with food, clothing, personal care items, haircut vouchers as well as rent and utility bills. CLCM is located at 809 S. 4th St. and is open M-Th 9:30-11:30. Seven area churches financially and physically support this ministry. There is one full time staff person, two part time employees and a host of volunteers who keep this ministry going. During the month of June, CLCM
assisted 214 households with food, 93 with personal care items, 12 with rent, 68 with utility bills and 6 with haircut vouchers. Mark your calendars for Sept. 17th and join us for a Walk in Central Park, a fundraising event to highlight the needs of the working poor in our area. More information will be forthcoming. If you would like to help, fill your blue shopping bags the first Sunday of each month with personal care and non-perishable food items. Or write a check to CLCM so needed toiletries may be purchased and distributed to our neighbors in need.

Stand Down Homeless Event
Stand Down /Project Homeless Connect is an annual one-day resource fair that connects our neighbors who are homeless with services they need. This year it is scheduled for Wednesday, October 5th. We would like to recruit many more folks from Christ Church as people who are homeless are our church’s neighbors in Louisville, and because of Christ Church’s commitment to supporting urban ministry. We need volunteers to assist with guiding participants to/from booths of various agencies that serve people who are homeless, and with footwashing. Footwashing for people who are homeless is an important service/ministry. People who are homeless suffer from many foot ailments and footwashing is a blessing for them. Volunteers are given information but it really is not difficult and it is very rewarding. It will be held at the Salvation Army on Brook Street. For more information or to volunteer, please contact Melinda Collett at melcobro@gmail.com or 287-4175.
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. 4
we listen New or Updated This Week — Cathedral Coffee Hour
Cathedral Coffee Hour
There have been a couple of changes in organizing coffee hours. First, please take a minute to thank Page Curry who has valiantly and graciously coordinated coffee hour for the past several years. Randy Peters will coordinate temporarily until a new coordinator volunteers. We still need to have a few more volunteer hosts to add to our current 14 teams. A few people host alone, most teams have two people and a few have three. With a few more volunteers, we can schedule hosts for three times a year rather than four. When we have a new host, an experienced host will help the first time to provide “orientation”. In addition, we are emphasizing simplicity for coffee hour. It does not need to be an elaborate or extensive spread. Those can be reserved for special occasions and receptions. The emphasis at coffee hour is hospitality and welcome; not lunch. For August, we have three Sundays without hosts, so we will have only coffee and juice. Please let Randy Peters know if you would like to help out (rpeters421@yahoo.com).
The CCC Book Group
will meet on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 4:00PM. Norma Laufer will host; contact her for more information at norma.laufer@yahoo.com. We will discuss the book Atlas of Unknowns by Tania James. All are welcome. Please contact McCall Eng, book group liaison, at mccalleng@gmail.com to be added to the email list or for more information.
Foyer Groups
Foyer Groups are now Forming! Foyers are groups of about 8 people who meet in each others homes to share a meal & fellowship. These dinner groups will form twice a year, each time for 4 months. This round of groups will meet in September, October, November and either December or January. Details and sign up sheet are posted on the bulletin board. Sign up by August 14th. More questions, contact Hollis Real.
Men’s Lunch Group
Cathedral men meet for lunch and conversation on the first Wednesday of each month. For information call Mike Wright, 396-6242. All Cathedral men are welcome.
Women’s Lunch Bunch
Cathedral women meet for fellowship and lunch on the third Thursday of each month. For more information, or to make a reservation, e-mail lunchbunchlady@yahoo.com, or call Mildred Franks, 893-3815.
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 2014 Directory listings). Thank you!

CCC Parking Update
Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings only at the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons, at the corner of 2nd and Muhammad Ali. This is only for Sunday mornings. (You will be towed if you park there at other times during the week.) Additionally, we are now able to park in the Midas Lot, directly behind the Cathedral, on Sunday mornings and evenings throughout the week. Access this lot through the Louisville Surgery Center Parking lot. Parking is also available free of charge on Sunday mornings at the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. We are currently working on other options. Stay tuned.
Pastoral Care
If you have a Pastoral Care Emergency or Concern, call Dean Pritcher any time on the Pastoral Care line: 502-632-3213. In addition, when there are pastoral concerns about members of our congregation, and with the concurrence of the person or people concerned, Randy Peters sends an e-mail to a list of people who have indicated that want to know about these concerns. If you want to be included in that distribution list, please let Randy know, either in person or by e-mail, rpeters421@yahoo.com
Pastoral Associates
The Rev’d William L. Bippus and the Rev’d R. Edgar Wallace are Pastoral Associates at the Cathedral. They have served for some time now: on Sundays, preaching and presiding; on Weekdays, in support of Midday Mass; and daily, offering sage advice, from their wealth of experience in parish ministry. Join me in thanking them for their generous service to the Cathedral. 5
Membership in the Episcopal Church If you are currently not an Episcopalian, but would like to be, talk to Dean Pritcher. She will arrange for an Inquirer’s Class and baptism and/or confirmation, and answer any other questions about membership at the Cathedral. 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 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.

Stewardship Notes
Faith is to believe what you do not yet see; the reward for this faith is to see what you believe. Banner in St. Augustine’s RC Church in Washington DC
“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!
