First Lesson
Jeremiah 2:4-13
Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. Thus says the Lord:
2
What wrong did your ancestors find in me that they went far from me, and went after worthless things, and became worthless themselves? They did not say, “Where is the Lord who brought us up from the land of Egypt, who led us in the wilderness, in a land of deserts and pits, in a land of drought and deep darkness, in a land that no one passes through, where no one lives?” I brought you into a plentiful land to eat its fruits and its good things. But when you entered you defiled my land, and made my heritage an abomination. The priests did not say, “Where is the Lord?” Those who handle the law did not know me; the rulers transgressed against me the prophets prophesied by Baal, and went after things that do not profit. Therefore once more I accuse you, says the Lord, and I accuse your children’s children. Cross to the coasts of Cyprus and look, send to Kedar and examine with care; see if there has ever been such a thing.
Has a nation changed its gods, even though they are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for something that does not profit. Be appalled, O heavens, at this, be shocked, be utterly desolate, says the Lord, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and dug out cisterns for themselves, cracked cisterns that can hold no water. The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Psalm
1 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
81:1, 10-16 • sung by all
Sing with joy to God our /strength * and raise a loud shout to the /God of Jacob.
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and /said, * “Open your mouth wide, and /I will fill it.” And yet my people did not hear my /voice, * and Israel would/ not obey me.
So I gave them over to the stubbornness of their /hearts, * to follow their /own devices. Oh, that my people would listen to /me! * that Israel would /walk in my ways! I should soon subdue their /enemies * and turn my hand /against their foes.
Those who hate the Lord would cringe be/fore him, * and their punishment would /last for ever. But Israel would I feed with the finest /wheat * and satisfy him with /honey from the rock.

Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16
Second Lesson
Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it. Remember those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; those who are being tortured, as though you yourselves were being tortured. Let marriage be held in honor by all, and let the marriage bed be kept undefiled; for God will judge fornicators and adulterers. Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Alleluia Verse

•
sung by cantor, then all
So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can anyone do to me?” Remember your leaders, those who spoke the word of God to you; consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.
Gospel
Luke 14:1, 7-14
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
up higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” He said also to the one who had invited him, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of the Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him closely. When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. “When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host; and the host who invited both of you may come and say to you, `Give this person your place,’ and then in disgrace you would start to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, `Friend, move The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

He that is down need fear no fall
He that is down need fear no fall; He that is low, no pride; He that is humble, ever shall have God to be his Guide. I am content with what I have, little be it or much; And, Lord, contentment still I crave, Because thou savest such. Fulness to such a burden is, that go on pilgrimage; Here little, and hereafter bliss, is best from age to age. • all stand

Bless the Lord my soul
My eyes for beauty pine
My eyes for beauty pine, my soul for Goddes grace; No other care no hope is mine, to heaven I turn my face. One splendour thence is shed from all the stars above: ‘ Tis named when God’s name is said, ‘Tis Love, ‘tis heavenly Love. And every gentle heart that burns with true desire, is lit from eyes that mirror part of that celestial fire.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Welcome to worship at the cathedral. And welcome to Deacon Eva Markham who is preaching this morning. Take a moment after worship to thank her for her service.
Did you see anything different about our 2nd Street doors this morning? They have gotten a makeover! Thank you Cynthy Fanning and Kirt Jacobs for making that possible. The garden is also getting attention this season—and there are other important improvements that are not so noticeable. Many thanks to the Building Committee (with Vance Fritton, chair) which is coordinating all of this. We’ll keep you posted. And when you hear about Work Days, please sign up—we need your help too.
In just 2 weeks, we will enjoy Homecoming Sunday with a Covered Dish Lunch in Bishops’ Hall following 10:30 worship and fun for children in Dean’s Hall. Sign-up sheet for lunch dishes is on the Office Bulletin Board. I hope you will be with us for Homecoming Sunday and other important upcoming events: Blessing of our Animals and all Creation on October 2; Evensong, October 9; our Feast of Name, November 20. In September, we shift from Evening Prayer to Morning Prayer—beginning Monday morning, September 12 at 9:00 am. Read more about Morning Prayer on page 2.
Using a Kroger card is a good way to contribute to ministry at the Cathedral. It doesn’t cost you a penny—to get the card or to use it—but you need to sign up each August in order for it to work. Read more about how to sign up on page 6.
Finally, the Diocese of Kentucky is launching regional Listening Sessions about the future of All Saints’ Conference Center. The gathering for Louisville area churches is Tuesday evening, September 6 at 7:00 pm at the Episcopal Church Home, in Gheens Town Hall (7504 Westport Road, Louisville 40222). Mark your calendars and on that night, enter through the main door of the Episcopal Church Home; the receptionist will direct you. As you prepare for worship today, reflect upon these words of John Flavel:
They that know God will be humble, and they that know themselves cannot be proud.
I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
we pray New or Updated This Week — Midday Mass updates Morning Prayer

Morning Prayer
Beginning Monday, September 12, our Daily Office services move from Evening Prayer (at 6:00 pm) to Morning Prayer at 9:00 am. We start with 3 days per week, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Morning Prayer, like Evening Prayer is a unique opportunity for service. In this 15-minute prayer service, we pray for ourselves, for one another, and for others. It is a privilege that we share with men, women and children around the world—in parishes like Christ Church Cathedral, in homes and communities, and in religious orders. You can find the service on page 75 of the Book of Common 2
Prayer and join us in the Chapel or wherever you are. And join me in thanking Evening Prayer Officiants, Paul Real, Mildred Payne, and Carolyn Van Zant who have served us faithfully. Evensong, with Officiant Aaron Angel, continues on Wednesday evenings at 6:00. After a brief break it returns on Wednesday, September 7.
Be part of the Cathedral’s Music Program
The Cathedral Choir is on a much deserved summer break and will return to leading worship on Sunday, September 11. Many musicians are providing solos, duets, and ensembles during the summer months. This is also a time to consider your participation in our program. As an extension of Children’s Christian Formation, Canon Robert works with our children preparing for seasonal services. We use handbells at various times in the year, usually in Psalms and at times with anthems. The Cathedral Choir is for youth and adults who love to sing and have ability to read music. An audition is required for this group. If you would like to participate in any of these musical areas, please contact Canon Robert directly: robert@christchurchlouky.org.
Cathedral Arts
CA announces its 2016-2017 season. Beginning on Sunday, October 9, 5PM with a concert by pianist Agnes Wan and evensong by the Cathedral Choir. Read about all our offerings on at www.christchurchlouky.org.
we study New or Updated This Week — Children’s Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School returns on Sunday, Sept. 18. At that time, you can look forward to a clergy, chapter, parent and parishioner-led Montessoribased curriculum.

we work 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.
St. George’s Scholar Institute Brunch

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.

Twice Around the Block
Calling all Cathedral Walkers! Come and join the fun for the 2nd Annual Walk in Central Park, Saturday, September 17, 2016. The event begins at 9:00 a.m., and celebrates the work of Central Louisville Community Ministries, one of our outreach partners. Enjoy refreshments, games, and fellowship. Mark your calendar.
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 Melinda.Collett@va. gov 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, 4
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.
we listen New or Updated This Week — Coffee Hour Hosts
Coffee Hour hosts
Today’s Coffee Hour host are Paul and Hollis Real. Be sure to thank them for their hospitality.
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).
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!
Gay Men’s Supper Club
The Cathedral’s Gay Men’s Supper Club meets each month for conversation and supper. Contact Bill Shelton, woshelton@gmail.com, or call 897-3079.
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

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.

Garden Work Days
The Garden Committee has established Saturday September 25, Tuesday September 28, Saturday October 8 and Tuesday October 11 as work days to prune and clean up the garden. The committee is working from recommendations from the arborist at Limbwalker who has reviewed the garden and from discussions among members of the committee and there will be a list of tasks to be accomplished. If you want to help but cannot come to one of these days, the list will be posted and you may help at your convenience. We will have coffee and muffins and lunch, depending on expected turnout. The hours are 9:00 - midafternoon. We want to have most of the work finished in order to have the garden looking spiffy for the Diocesan Convention which the Cathedral will host in early November.
Kroger Community Rewards program

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
Doubt digs the well of faith. Anonymous
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!
