First Lesson
Exodus 1:8-2:10
Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. He said to his people, “Look, the Israelite people are more numerous and more powerful than we. Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase and, in the event of war, join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.” Therefore they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with forced labor. They built supply cities, Pithom and Rameses, for Pharaoh. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread, so that the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites. The Egyptians became ruthless in imposing tasks on the Israelites, and made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and brick and in every kind of field labor. They were ruthless in all the tasks that they imposed on them. The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, “When you act as midwives to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, she shall live.” But the midwives feared God; they did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but they let the boys live. So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this, and allowed the boys to live?” The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.” So God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong. The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.
And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families. Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “Every boy that is born to the Hebrews you shall throw into the Nile, but you shall let every girl live.” Now a man from the house of Levi went and married a Levite woman. The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a fine baby, she hid him three months. When she could hide him no longer she got a papyrus basket for him, and plastered it with bitumen and pitch; she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the bank of the river. His sister stood at a distance, to see what would happen to him. The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her attendants walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to bring it. When she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying, and she took pity on him, “This must be one of the Hebrews’ children,” she said. Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?” Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Yes.” So the girl went and called the child’s mother. Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed it. When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and she took him as her son. She named him Moses, “because,” she said, “I drew him out of the water.”
Psalm 124 • spoken If the Lord had not been on our side, * let Israel now say; If the Lord had not been on our side, * when enemies rose up against us;
Then would they have swallowed us up alive * in their fierce anger toward us;
Then would the waters have overwhelmed us * and the torrent gone over us; Then would the raging waters * have gone right over us.
Blessed be the Lord! * he has not given us over to be a prey for their teeth.
We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; * the snare is broken, and we have escaped. Our help is in the Name of the Lord, * the maker of heaven and earth.
Second Lesson
Romans 12:1-8
I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God-- what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to
the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Hymn Gospel
524
I love thy kingdom, Lord
Matthew 16:13-20
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
When Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Prayers of the People • these prayers incorporate quotes from Intercessions for the Christian People, together with original material appropriate for use during the season of Pentecost
With confidence, let us turn to our God in prayer, saying: Lord, hear our prayer. Let us pray for people throughout the world who are suffering random violence, social disruption, economic distress and war; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for our own country: that we might become a force for peace rather than conflict, a source of hope rather than discontent. We pray for President Trump, for Governors Bevin and Holcomb and for the Mayors and Councils of our cities and towns; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for the Church throughout the world: for the Church in Wales and St. George’s Scholar Institute; may the Spirit dwell in Michael our Presiding Bishop, in Terry our Bishop and in our clergy and ministers. May all of us, called to be brothers and sisters in Christ, become effective and reliable messengers of hope in this troubled world; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us give thanks for those who defend our country, the women and men of this city who daily work for civil justice, for those who keep us safe, and for those working in hospitals, schools, restaurants and hotels. We give thanks for the birthdays of Konrad Margerum, Kay Wilkinson and John Werst. The flowers at the altar are given by Jan and Konrad Margerum in honnor of kindness, justice and humility. We now offer our own thanksgivings, silently or aloud. . . . . . . . . .Continue your blessing upon us all; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for this immediate neighborhood – our parish: we pray for those who live and work here and for those who have no work and no home, particularly homeless and troubled veterans of military service; Lord, hear our prayer.
Let us pray for ourselves: may we have the grace to rejoice with those who rejoice, to share grief with others in their sadness, but most of all, may we be quick to forgive and slow to take offense. Let us pray for those on the Cathedral prayer list, especially Carolyn Van Zant, Randy Wells, Betty Banton, Carol Brown, Charles Cooksey, Gretchen Davis, Jack Jacobs, Carol Kendall, Norma Laufer, Mike, Larry Otto, Gary Pope, Donna Pottinger, James Searcy, Ginger Shackleton, and Tim Tice. We now offer our own prayers of intercession, silently or aloud. . . . . . . . . . Give peace to the dying and comfort to their families; give us strength and courage to face the challenges of daily life; Lord, hear our prayer.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our
I am away for these two weeks, but you are in good hands—the Rev’d Mtr. Emily Crouch is preaching and presiding today. Read more about her on page 3, and let her know following the service how much you appreciate her ministry to us. The Rev’d John Allen is taking pastoral calls in my absence. If you have a pastoral care emergency while I’m away and can’t find him, call the Pastoral Care Line: 502-632-3213 (and, if necessary, leave a message with name and number), and I will see that you make that connection. Be sure to mark your calendars for these upcoming events at the Cathedral: • Homecoming Sunday—with the return of the CATHEDRAL CHOIR, September 10 (read more about that on page 5) • The return of Children and Youth Sunday School, and a Sacred Conversation following 10:30 worship, on September 17 (read more on pages 3 and 5) • Worshiping with our Animals, October 1 (read more on page 2) • The Blessing of our Imagination, (IN costume, IN procession, in anticipation of All Hallows Eve), at 10:30 worship on October 29 • A day of Enrichment for our Pastoral Care Teams, Saturday, November 4, 10:00 am – 2:30 pm (read more on page 6). As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Dag Hammarskold, from Markings: I don’t know who—or what—put the question, I don’t know when it was put. I don’t even remember answering. But at some moment I did answer yes to Someone—or Something—and from that hour I was certain that existence is meaningful and that, therefore, my life, in self-surrender, had a goal. I am glad that you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost

Prayer is an important part of being an Episcopalian. The discipline of prayer, known as the Daily Office, is one of the gifts of the Church to us. Daily Prayer Online uses our Cathedral Facebook page. Each morning at 5:00 am, a prayer will be posted; it can be accessed at any point throughout the day, and even in days following. You will also be invited, in the posts, to include prayer requests in the Comments section. We include those prayer requests in our Prayers of the People at Midday Mass and on Sundays. Check out Daily Prayer Online and consider sharing it with your friends. Make sure that you ‘like’ and ‘follow’ the Cathedral page: Christ Church Cathedral @ChristChurchLouKY.org.

Blessing the Animals and All of Creation
It’s time to have that conversation with your animal companions—take the time to find out if they want to join us for worship on Sunday, October 1, in anticipation of the Feast Day of St. Francis (St. Francis will be the commemoration at Midday Mass the following Wednesday, October 4). All animals are invited—suitably crated or leashed, for their comfort and protection. In addition, bring anything that reminds you of God’s creation: plants, rocks, pictures of pets, reminders of animals who have died. And as we thank God for them, we will ask God to lead us to a greater appreciation and better care of the world we share. WHAT’S NEXT? Homecoming is in just two weeks, September 10. There will be a bouncy house for the young ones, face painting for the bold, and good food and music for everyone. In addition, we will get a head start on what promises to be a great new year for Christ Church Cathedral.

Reaching Out for Outreach Lunch Bag Ministry
The lunch bag ministry is a way for Christ Church Cathedral to help feed our neighbors who are hungry. The bags contain bottled water, a protein, canned fruit, a breakfast bar, a salty snack and something sweet. The lunch bags are assembled by a group of volunteer parishioners who meet at the church as needed to replenish the supply of bags. During the calendar year of 2016 we gave out 2,110 bags. The costs for the bags are paid for by Downtown Episcopal Outreach. So remember to “Feed the DEO Pig.” For more information, contact Paul Real who leads this ministry. RACIAL HEALING From the Dismantling Racism Weekend (July 28 – 30) with Dr. Catherine Meeks: Racial healing is not racial reconciliation. Being Christian is more important than being white.

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!
