First Lesson
Joel 2:23-32
O children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he has given the early rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the later rain, as before. The threshing floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent against you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame. You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other. And my people shall never again be put to shame. Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female slaves, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
2
I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. Then
everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Psalm

You are to be praised, O God, in /zion; * to you shall vows be performed in /Jerusalem. To you that hear prayer shall all flesh /come, * because of /their transgressions. Our sins are stronger than /we are, * but you will /blot them out.
Happy are they whom you choose and draw to your courts to/ dwell there! * they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house, by the holiness /of your temple. Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness, O God of our sal/vation, * O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are/ far away. You make fast the mountains by your /power; * they are girded a/bout with might.
You still the roaring of the /seas, * the roaring of their waves, and the clamor /of the peoples.
Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your marvelous /signs; * you make the dawn and the dusk to /sing for joy. You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very /plenteous; * the river of God is/ full of water. You prepare the /grain, * for so you provide /for the earth.
You drench the furrows and smooth out the /ridges; * with heavy rain you soften the ground and/ bless its increase. You crown the year with your /goodness, * and your paths over/flow with plenty.
May the fields of the wilderness be rich for/grazing, * and the hills be /clothed with joy.
May the meadows cover themselves with flocks, and the valleys cloak themselves with /grain; * let them shout for /joy and sing.

2 Timothy 4:6-8,16-18
Second Lesson
I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. At my first defense no one came to
my support, but all deserted me. May it not be counted against them! But the Lord stood by me and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and save me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia Verse

sung by cantor, then all
Luke 18:9-14
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus, `God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ. 4
a week; I give a tenth of all my income.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying, `God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”

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.
CLOUT, the Louisville Justice Ministry, has been busy lately. At the Justice Team Assembly: Listening Process Reporting, the Cathedral reported 7 house meetings. Many thanks to the CLOUT Ministry Team which made that happen. Next step is to pick the 2017 project for research and action. Read more about that and how you can be involved on page 3. We begin today to accept nominations for Chapter Election for 2017. Nomination forms are at each entrance and at the Office credenza. Give your nomination form to Frazier or put it in the Offering Plates. I will have information for you next week about something new in our Election schedule. The launch of our 2017 Stewardship Campaign, Living Generously, is just around the corner—2 weeks from today. Read more about living generously in Stewardship Notes on page 4, and begin to consider how you will contribute to ministry at Christ Church Cathedral for the important coming year. Make sure to be with us for: • November 6, just two weeks from today, All Saints’ Sunday and the launch of Living Generously. In the Eucharistic Prayer at both services, we will remember loved ones who have died—add your loved one to the List on the Office Bulletin Board by next Sunday, October 30. Following 10:30 worship on the 6th, join us for an extended Coffee Hour and Sacred Conversation on our stewardship theme, Living Generously. • November 20, four weeks from today, Christ the King Sunday, our Feast of Name, and the InGathering of Pledges for Living Generously 2017. You will receive a Pledge Card by mail by the first of November. Consider prayerfully how you will complete that card and commit to support ministry through the Cathedral this year. You may either return your Pledge Card by mail or bring it with you. Next week, October 30, we will thank God for the gift of our imaginations. All of you (the young, and the young at heart) are invited to give your masks or costumes a test-run for your Halloween fun. Don’t miss it! As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Dr. Howard Rhys, retired Professor of New Testament from the School of Theology at Sewanee: The great danger for people who attain a personal discipline that enables them to live up to a high standard of behavior is that they will feel contempt for all who do not observe their standard. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Twenty Third Sunday after Pentecost

Make sure you are with us to enjoy it.

we work New or Updated This Week — CLOUT
Next Community Breakfast Nov. 6
The next Community Breakfast is next Sunday, November 6, 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.
CLOUT
Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together
CLOUT works to solve critical community problems by holding systems accountable: to “do justice, love kindness (mercy), and walk humbly with God (Micah 6:8).” Many thanks to our CLOUT Ministry Team, Page Curry, Mildred Franks, John Kiesel, Linda Kiesel, Jim Monin, Mildred Payne for their fine leadership. The recent Justice Team Assembly narrowed down the community problem to four to send to the Community Problems Assembly (CPA) on Oct. 27. The final 4 are: health/mental health (incl. drug addiction), crime & criminal justice, education, and economic justice (jobs, wages, etc.). It is from those 4 categories that the CPA will be voting to pick the one for research & action in the coming year. Let the someone from the Ministry Team know if you’d like to be present on the 27th to cast another Cathedral vote for next year’s project. Prayerfully consider joining this important work.
Reaching Out for Outreach Community Breakfast
The Cathedral Community Breakfast is held the first Sunday of each month. We primarily serve people who are homeless or who have low incomes. An average of 50 or more people attend each month. Cathedral members are welcome as well. The breakfast is served by volunteers from the Cathedral, and occasionally people from other Episcopal churches. The volunteers donate most of the food. Usually we have 12 volunteers and which includes a loyal group who come each month. It is a wonderful ministry which is meaningful to our volunteers and our guests. Come and join us, we always need extra hands.

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. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank. STEWARDSHIP NOTES
Living Generously
A Hassidic story in Stories of the Spirit, Stories of the Heart, goes like this: one day a rabbi, in a frenzy of religious passion, rushed in before the ark, fell to his knees, and started beating his breast, crying, “I’m nobody! I’m nobody!” The cantor of the synagogue, impressed by this example of spiritual humility, joined the rabbi on his knees. “I’m nobody! I’m nobody!” The custodian, watching from the corner, couldn’t restrain himself either. He joined the other two on his knees, calling out, “I’m nobody! I’m nobody!” The rabbi, nudging the cantor with his elbow, pointed at the custodian and said, “Look who thinks he’s nobody!” Like the rabbi and cantor, we can all too easily overlook the value of other folks in our lives. Part of what we give to God through our community of faith is respect and support for one another; we are here to serve, not look down on anyone. Archbishop Desmond Tutu had this in mind when he suggested that when we arrive in heaven, we might be surprised who ‘makes the cut’! Much better, I think, if we could come to that understanding right here and now. Our journey into living generously continues—stay tuned! 4
we listen New or Updated This Week — Coffee Hour Hosts
Coffee Hour hosts
Today’s Coffee Hour hosts are Randy Wells and Diane Kyle. Be sure to thank them for their hospitality.
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).
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.

The Cathedral will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork.
Convention Volunteers Needed
The Cathedral is hosting Diocesan Convention this year on Friday and Saturday, November 11-12. We need volunteers to help provide the warm welcoming hospitality that is a hallmark of the Cathedral. We need about 10 volunteers each day to help welcome people, direct to locations, monitor coffee and water supplies, distribute box lunches on Saturday, collect ballots and count votes during the business session on Saturday and do other tasks as needed. You do not need to be on your feet all the time since there will be “downtime” each day. Please contact Randy Peters or Frazier Marsh to volunteer! We really need you!! 5

Cathedral Landscape Audit
The Landscape Audit pilot project is in cooperation with other Louisville houses of faith through the Center for Interfaith Relations and in partnership with the Nature Conservancy and Green Faith. It springs from a spiritual connection with the land and a desire to address our poor air quality. The goal is to make a record of Louisville’s trees, plants, ground cover and wild life (e.g. squirrels, birds)—one church, synagogue, or mosque at a time. There is no cost involved in this selfaudit and it will take place between now and the end of October. 6

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!
