First Lesson
Exodus 32:7-14
The Lord said to Moses, “Go down at once! Your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have acted perversely; they have been quick to turn aside from the way that I commanded them; they have cast for themselves an image of a calf, and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, `These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!’” The Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, how stiff-necked they are. Now let me alone, so that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume them; and of you I will make a great nation.” But Moses implored the Lord his God, and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with great The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

power and with a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, `It was with evil intent that he brought them out to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath; change your mind and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, how you swore to them by your own self, saying to them, `I will multiply your descendants like the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.’” And the Lord changed his mind about the disaster that he planned to bring on his people.

.Wash me through and through from my wickedness * and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, * and my sin is ever before me.

Against you only have I sinned * and done what is evil in your sight.
And so you are justified when you speak * and upright in your judgment. refrain
Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, * a sinner from my mother’s womb.
For behold, you look for truth deep within me, * and will make me understand wisdom secretly. Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; * wash me, and I shall be clean indeed.
Make me hear of joy and gladness, * that the body you have broken may rejoice. Hide your face from my sins * and blot out all my iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit within me

1 Timothy 1:12-17
Second Lesson
I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he judged me faithful and appointed me to his service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is sure and worthy of
full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners-- of whom I am the foremost. But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience, making me an example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia Verse

Luke 15:1-10
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
All the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to Jesus. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found

Praise to you, Lord Christ.
my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. “Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Welcome to worship at the cathedral—and to our Homecoming Sunday celebration. I hope you will join me for the food and fellowship in Bishops’ Hall following 10:30 worship.
Over the summer I have made an attempt to better coordinate our communications (print, electronic, and display). We will improve as we continue to work toward that. My goal is to maintain a brief overview of ministries at the Cathedral in all the places that different ones of us look for our information: CATHEDRAL MATTERS (print and on-line), the Website, and the main Bulletin Board. This information is helpful both to us and our guests. You can help by keeping me informed of new information and of mistakes or omissions. You will note also the return of our QR code—to the door posts of both West and South Entrances. You may scan each Sunday’s Cathedral Matters and Service Bulletin into your device as you enter worship.
Note that today we begin using Eucharistic Prayer C, found on page 369 of your Prayer Book; we will use Prayer C until November. We also have a fresh set of Prayers of the People—you can find that on page 5 of your Service Bulletin.
Children’s Sunday School returns next Sunday in the Atrium (in Dean’s Hall). Read more about this class on page 2 and let me know if you have questions or comments. Plan also to be with us for these, among many, important upcoming events: a Blessing of our Animals and all Creation, October 2 (bring your animal companion or a picture); our first Evensong, October 9, 5:00; and our Feast of Name: Sunday, November 20. In addition, we host the annual Diocesan Convention on November 11-12. But first, today we remember 9/11 and the many events of terrorism that have occurred since that day fifteen years ago. We will pray for all who died, for all who were injured, and all who have mourned. You can find the Litany on page 11 of the Service Bulletin. And now, as you prepare for worship today, join me in reflecting upon these words of Bernard of Clairvaux: It is easier that heaven and earth should pass, than, if thou seek God, not to find Him; or than, if thou ask, not to receive; or if thou knock, not to be opened unto.
I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost

Cathedral Coffee Hour
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. The emphasis at coffee hour is hospitality and welcome—a simple offering is sufficient. Contact Randy Peters (rpeters421@yahoo.com).
CCC Parking Update
Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings at 3 locations: 1) the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons (Sunday mornings only), at the corner of 2nd and Muhammed Ali: the old “Midas Lot” behind the Cathedral and entered by 1st St. at Louisville Surgical Center entrance; and the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. The Transamerica lot is only to be used for Sunday mornings (you will be towed if you park there at other times). The old “Midas Lot” can also be used on Sunday mornings and in the evenings and on Saturday when the Louisville Surgical Center is closed. The YMCA Garage can be used at anytime although there maybe a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.

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.

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!
