First Lesson
Exodus 33:12-23
Moses said to the Lord, “See, you have said to me, ‘Bring up this people’; but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’ Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways, so that I may know you and find favor in your sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.” He said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” And he said to him, “If your presence will not go, do not carry us up from here. For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, unless you go with us? In this way, we shall be distinct, I and your people, from every people on the face of the earth.” The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

The Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing that you have asked; for you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name.” Moses said, “Show me your glory, I pray.” And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you the name, ‘The Lord’; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. But,” he said, “you cannot see my face; for no one shall see me and live.” And the Lord continued, “See, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the rock; and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by; then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
Psalm 99 • sung by all
The Lord is King; let the people /tremble; * he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let /the earth shake. The Lord is great in /Zion; * he is high a/bove all peoples.
Let them confess his Name, which is great and /awesome; * he is /the Holy One.
“O mighty King, lover of justice, you have established /equity; * you have executed justice and righteous/ness in Jacob.”
Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God and fall down before his /footstool; * he is /the Holy One. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his /Name, * they called upon the Lord, and /he answered them.
He spoke to them out of the pillar of /cloud; * they kept his testimonies and the decree /that he gave them.
O Lord our God, you answered them in/deed; * you were a God who forgave them, yet punished them for /their evil deeds.
Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God and worship him upon his /holy hill; * for the Lord our God is /the Holy One.
Second Lesson
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace. We always give thanks to God for all of you and mention you in our prayers, constantly remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters beloved by God, that he has chosen you, because our message of the gospel came to you not in word only, but
also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of persons we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the word with joy inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For the word of the Lord has sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God has become
3
known, so that we have no need to speak about it. For the people of those regions report about us what kind of welcome we had among you, and how you turned to God from
idols, to serve a living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead-- Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath that is coming.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. • all stand

Matthew 22:15-22
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
The Pharisees went and plotted to entrap Jesus in what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are you putting me The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.
4
to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, “Whose head is this, and whose title?” They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher
• all stand
Nicene Creed • BCP 358 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

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.

God of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory and praise. Glory to you for ever and ever.
At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home. By your will they were created and have their being.
From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessed us with memory, reason, and skill. You made us the rulers of creation. But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turned against one another. Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight
Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sages you revealed your righteous Law. And in the fullness of time you sent your only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us the way of freedom and peace.
By his blood, he reconciled us. By his wounds, we are healed.
And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, with prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generation who have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, in their unending hymn:
Sanctus WLP 852

And so, Father, we who have been redeemed by him, and made a new people by water and the Spirit, now bring before you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord.
On the night he was betrayed he took bread, said the blessing, broke the bread, 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.”
After supper, he took the cup of wine, gave thanks, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Remembering now his work of redemption, and offering to you this sacrifice of thanksgiving, We celebrate his death and resurrection, as we await the day of his coming.
Lord God of our Fathers; God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ: Open our eyes to see your hand at work in the world about us. Deliver us from the presumption of coming to this Table for solace only, and not for strength; for pardon only, and not for renewal. Let the grace of this Holy Communion make us one body, one spirit in Christ, that we may worthily serve the world in his name. Risen Lord, be known to us in the breaking of the Bread.
Accept these prayers and praises, Father, through Jesus Christ our great High Priest, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, your Church gives honor, glory, and worship, from generation to generation.
The Great Amen

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

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 a guest, let us know how we can help.
On Saturday, November 4, we will host our first Pastoral Care Enrichment Day. Please consider joining us for that brief workshop. It is designed to for all of us: to enhance both the specialized ministry of Pastoral Care and the general interaction that all of us experience in a community of faith. If you are involved in Pastoral Care at the Cathedral; if you want to find ways you can be a more supportive partner in faith to one another—join us: Saturday, November 4; 10:00 – 2:30; including Lunch. Sign Up Sheet is on the Office Bulletin Board. Next week, October 29, we have three things planned: • The Blessing of our Imagination—come in costume to 10:30 worship, in anticipation of All Hallows Eve. • Following 10:30 worship, we will Trick or Treat in Bishops’ Hall. Of the candy we have collected, much has gone to St. George’s parish for their festivities. • And during Coffee Hour, we will meet Scot Stuckey, General Manager of the Omni Hotel. Bring your questions for our new neighbor. Following next Sunday, is All Saints’ Sunday and the launch of our Annual Giving Campaign. Our theme this year is Walking the Way. The way that we are referring to is the way of Christ—designed for all who follow him. Our Campaign will be a brief three Sundays, beginning November 5 and concluding with an In-Gathering on November 19. In the meanwhile, our readings each Sunday help us think about how to walk this walk. As you prepare for worship today, reflect upon these words of Henry David Thoreau: There are in each the seeds of a heroic ardor, which need only to be stirred in with the soil where they lie. The soil that our seeds of heroic ardor lie in is divine. I am glad that you are here today Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost

Next Community Breakfast is Nov. 5
The next Community Breakfast is Sunday, November 5, 8:45 – 9:30 a.m., in Bishops’ Hall.

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.
Justice Ministry
Our CCC CLOUT Team has conducted five House Meetings, and continues to make some individual contacts during this Listening Process. We welcome those who have committed to be Network Members for this coming year. Our next major event is the Community Problems Assembly, on Nov. 2, when all Network members, from the 20+ CLOUT member congregations, meet together to hear stories from the house meetings and to hear updates from the authorities who made promises at the Nehemiah Action last Spring. As we move into the Research-to-Action phase of CLOUT’s year, Network members will have an opportunity to choose to join one of three issue groups continuing from last year: Affordable Housing, Mental Illness & Addiction, and Restorative Practices in public schools. There is still much work to be done! Questions? Talk to any of CCC’s Team: Page Curry, Mildred Franks, Eva Markham, and Jim Monin.

Downtown Episcopal Outreach (DEO)
Don’t be afraid of CHANGE—put it in the DEO Pig! DEO supports Laundry Love, Kentucky Refugee Ministry and 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. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.
RACIAL HEALING Dr. Catherine Meeks, at the July Dismantling Racism Workshop encouraged us to explore the structural basis for the continuation of justice inequality. She recommended an Ava DuVernay documentary, “13”, in which “scholars, activists and politicians analyze the criminalization of African Americans and the U. S. prison boom.” You can stream “13” on Netflix.
Lunch Bags Ministry Takes a Break
The Lunch Bag program is one of the our wellloved ministries at Christ Church Cathedral. We are now wishing it farewell as it takes a break. To step into the gap, Laundry Love has added a second location—on the 2nd Thursday of each month and DEO will be taking the lead in funding that new project. We continue to prayerfully consider what might be a next step in outreach to our neighbors. In the meanwhile, we are grateful for the good work that Paul Real and his Lunch Bag Crew have done in our name.
Kentucky Refugee Ministries
Consider supporting KRM which works to relocate refugees in Louisville. What your gift can do: $25 provides a blanket for a refugee child, $50 provides a monthly bus pass for an adult seeking work, $75 provides groceries for a family’s first week in Kentucky, $100 assists with medications for a sick mother, $150 assists with a heating bill for a 1-bedroom apartment, $500 assists with rent for a family’s new apartment, $1,000 assists a family if someone gets ill and can’t work, $2,500 cosponsors a new family for three months.

Coffee Hour host
Coffee Hour host for this week is Cinthy Fanning. Be sure to thank her for her hospitality.
Coffee Hour Hosts Invitation
We all enjoy coffee hour after the morning service on Sundays. Currently we have 31 gracious generous hosts who serve about 3 coffee hours during the year. We always welcome new hosts and I will be updating our list and schedule to begin in January. We try to keep the offerings simple so that it is not too much of a burden on a host. There is help (usually our wonderful Frazier Marsh) cleaning up and coffee is already taken care of. If you feel called to host coffee hour, please contact Randy Peters.
Wear Your Costumes on October 29
Break out your Halloween finery for 10:30 worship on Sunday, October 29. On that day we thank God for the gift of our Imagination, and everyone is invited to be part of the fun. Masks, scarves or full costumes—all are encouraged. Also on that day, we will be Trick or Treating in Bishops’ Hall following worship. Between now and then we are collecting treats (wrapped) for our Trick or Treating and for St. George’s festivities. Place your treats in the box by the Office—we will divide them between St. George’s and the Cathedral.
Cathedral Book Group
Book Group meets on November 5 at 4 pm at the Episcopal Church Home, Westport Rd., in the parlor. We will discuss Sarah’s Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. Please rsvp to mccalleng@gmail.com or (502) 271-7012.
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 Enrichment Workshop: November 4
This Fall, we will have a Day of Enrichment for parishioners who want to be part of the ministry of pastoral care. The ministry of pastoral care is one of: prayer, communication, provision of meals for times of pastoral need, visitation, and sharing Communion under special circumstances. If you are already involved in these activities or want to be, you will need to attend this session and/or one of the follow-up offerings. The Workshop will begin at 10:00 am and conclude at 2:30.
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.

Parking has been arranged for Sunday mornings at 3 locations: 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 may be a parking fee depending on day and time. We will continue to work on other options.

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!

Daniel Gilliam, At Copland’s House The mailbox still sits on the edge of the road. It says “Copland.” The long driveway leads up to the house, which overlooks the twoand-a-half acres where Aaron Copland lived from 1960 until his death in 1990. During parts of August and September, I lived in this house, alone, to compose. I was awarded this honor through the Copland House Residency Awards, a program that began in the late 90s, that awards composers the opportunity to live and work in solitude, for two to six weeks in Aaron Copland’s house.
Built in the 1940s, Copland moved to the house to get away from the city. It’s now a National Historic Landmark, designated by the Department of the Interior, and is the only national landmark dedicated to a composer of “classical” music, the significance and weight of which is hard to ignore: affixed to one of the many boulders outside the house is a plaque that reminds us “this site possesses national significance in commemorating the history of the United States of America.” A declaration from the 99th Congress honoring Aaron Copland’s “incomparable contributions” to American music adorns the hallway.
Rock Hill, the name Copland gave his house is spacious, warm, and earthy — like his music. It’s part museum, part time capsule. Walking around the house you’ll find a case containing some of his letters and edits to a biography, framed pictures of the composer, memorabilia from his career as a composer and conductor, and the original Hirschfeld caricature of Copland. Scattered around the studio are things like his fountain pen (complete with teeth marks), a signed picture from Igor Stravinsky, ceramic statuettes brought back from Mexico, and his lamps that sit on his desk: a large, rectangular wooden desk custom built for Copland after he moved into the house in Cortlandt. The first page of Fanfare for the Common Man engraved in pen by Copland, hangs outside the master bedroom, as a holy icon. But the sanctity is not to the man or his most famous music, but to our place in music and culture, as Americans and composers. The spirit of this house is of music that comes from a country so young in age, and ideals and ambitions; corrupt and beautiful, influential and immature. This house, once the home of our most important composer, continues to yield American music representing a part of itself in an unmistakable way. For my part, I composed fourteen minutes of music, most of which belongs to an orchestral work called Fictive Music (itself totalling 25 minutes). Two minutes of that output is a piano work for a Leonard Bernstein tribute album being released in 2018.
