First Lesson
Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4
The oracle that the prophet Habakkuk saw. O Lord, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? Why do you make me see wrong-doing and look at trouble? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. So the law becomes slack and justice never prevails. The wicked surround the righteous-therefore judgment comes forth perverted. I will stand at my watchpost, and station myself on the rampart; I will keep watch to see what he will say to me, and what he will answer concerning my complaint. Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so that a runner may read it. For there is still a vision for the appointed time; it speaks of the end, and does not lie.
2
If it seems to tarry, wait for it; it will surely come, it will not delay. Look at the proud! Their spirit is not right in them, but the righteous live by their faith. The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. Psalm
137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144
119:137-144 • sung by all
You are righteous, O /Lord, * and upright /are your judgments.
You have issued your de/crees * with justice and in /perfect faithfulness.
My indignation has con/sumed me, * because my enemies for/get your words.
Your word has been tested to the /uttermost, * and your servant /holds it dear. I am small and of little ac/count, * yet I do not forget /your commandments. Your justice is an everlasting /justice * and your law /is the truth.
Trouble and distress have come u/pon me, * yet your commandments are /my delight.
The righteousness of your decrees is ever/lasting; * grant me understanding, that /I may live.
Second Lesson
2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. We must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is
right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of everyone of you for one another is increasing. Therefore we ourselves boast of you among the churches of God for your steadfastness and faith during all your persecutions and the afictions that
3
you are enduring. To this end we always pray for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of his call and will fulfill by his power every good
resolve and work of faith, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

sung by cantor, then all
Luke 19:1-10
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried down The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.
4
and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.” Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.” Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.”

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.
Our brief season of Stewardship 2017 is almost upon us. Next Sunday, we will begin our 3-Sunday campaign with what might now be a familiar theme to you: Living Generously. This week, you will receive a letter from Senior Warden Dr. Mike Foster, your Stewardship Chairman. It will include a Pledge Card with which you can register your intentions for next year’s offering to ministry at the Cathedral. Consider prayerfully how you will complete your Pledge Card; you may either return it by mail or bring it with you to the In-Gathering on our Feast of Name, Sunday, November 20. In addition to beginning Living Generously, next Sunday, November 6 is also All Saints’ Sunday. In the Eucharistic Prayer at both services, we will remember those who have died this year. Add the name of your loved one to the All Saints List on the Office Bulletin Board before you leave today. Following 10:30 worship on the 6th, join us for an extended Coffee Hour and Sacred Conversation on our stewardship theme. Today, we thank God for the gift of our imagination, which will be on full display this week as ghosts, goblins and star warriors swarm our streets—some of you are already decked out for the occasion. Before the Offertory Sentence, I will ask you to stand and come forward. We will give God thanks using the Litany on page 7. As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Philippe Vernier who writes: Do not wait for great strength before setting out, for that will weaken you further. Do not wait to see clearly before starting... Read the rest of his comments in this week’s Stewardship Notes on page 4. I am glad you are here today. Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Twenty Fourth Sunday after Pentecost

Our Feast of Name—November 20
Don’t miss our Feast of Name celebration on Sunday, November 20—the last Sunday after Pentecost: Christ the King. On that day, we will revisit what it means to be King and consider what that means for our mission—and Gather In the Pledge Cards for Stewardship 2017, Living Generously. Everything will be special that day: music, Cathedral Matters (with greetings from Christ Churches around the world), our focus on ministry in this place, and you. Make sure you are with us to enjoy it.
Celtic Music and Evensong
Join us on Sunday, November 13, 5:00 PM for a concert of Celtic music performed by Na Skylark Trio. Evensong follows the concert, with congregational responses and canticles, continuing the Celtic Music theme. See all our upcoming Cathedral Arts events at www. christchurchlouky.org.
we study Sunday Bible Study

Children’s Sunday School

We have added to our team: an Art Specialist, Stephanie Potter; an Assistant Presenter, Carol Syvertsen; and several special aides. Special thanks to Dorothy Converse, Hollis Real, Chase Durnil, Katie Grace Gilliam, Hunter Gilliam, Lauren Radeker, Amelia Vickerstaff, Janelle Vickerstaff, and Dr. Mike Foster. Contact Dean Pritcher if you would like to help with class preparation.
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
On Halloween, we can be whoever we want to be. But we don’t require masks or costumes to be what we need to be on any given day. All it takes is courage and determination. Philippe Vernier writes: Do not wait for great strength before setting out, for that will weaken you further. Do not wait to see clearly before starting: just walk toward the light. And when you take that first step, when you accomplish that tiny little act, you will be astonished to feel that the effort, rather than exhausting your strength, has doubled it—and that you already see more clearly what you have to do next. Our journey into Living Generously continues—stay tuned!

we listen New or Updated This Week — Coffee Hour Hosts
Coffee Hour hosts
Today’s Coffee Hour hosts are Mitzi Friedlander, Betty Williams and Sarah Williams. 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.

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!

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.

Pastoral Care
If you have a Pastoral Care Emergency or Concern, call Dean Pritcher any time on the Pastoral Care line: 502-632-3213. 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
Membership in the Episcopal Church
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 become an Episcopalian or 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.
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
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.

Chapter Nominations
Submit nominations for Chapter 2017 using the Nomination Forms at each entrance and at the office table. Place completed forms in the Offering Plate or give it to Frazier Marsh or the Dean. The Nominating Committee, comprised of Chapter members who are rotating off in January, will consider all names as they carefully, prayerfully form the ballot. Election for Chapter 2017 will take place at Annual Meeting, after 10:30 worship on January 29. Candidates for election must be Cathedral members in good standing— which means they are regular in attendance, faithful in ministry and givers of record.
Something New Beginning with this Year’s Chapter Election
Cathedral by-laws have stated that 1.5 candidates must stand for every open position (i.e., 6 persons for 4 open positions). Chapter has amended the by-laws (by unanimous vote in 2 regular Chapter meetings) in a way that is becoming increasingly common in large and/or complex congregations. By-laws now state that 1 – 1.5 candidates must stand for every open position (i.e., 4 – 6 persons for 4 open positions). We did this for several reasons. Often in the last few years, we have actually had only 1 candidate per open position; this amendment allows for what we have already been doing. The possibility of having fewer than 1.5 candidate per position will help newer, lesser-known members of the community to take leadership positions. And it may help us to find the best balance of ministry for Chapter. Let me know your questions and comments.
RE-ENROLL in the Kroger Community Rewards program
The new Kroger Community Rewards program requires us to re-enroll each year. If you have not re-enrolled since August, 2016, please do so now. It pays benefits back to the Cathedral every time you use your regular Kroger Plus Card, the savings card most of us use when shopping at Kroger. It’s easy to get started. Register your card by phone (1-888-904-0800) or on-line. Here’s how to register on-line: • Visit www.kroger.com/communityrewards and hit “Create an Account.”.” • Register your Kroger Plus Card number. • Once you are registered, you’ll see a tab that says “Kroger Community Rewards.” Hit the “Enroll” tab. • You will be asked for the company name or number. For best results, enter the Cathedral company number, 11088. • Confirm “Christ Church Cathedral” as your charity and you are signed up. The Cathedral reaps the financial benefits every time you use your Kroger Plus Card.
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.
COMMUNITY MATTERS Kathy Cantrell in Concert

May today there be peace within.
Amen!
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Amen! May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. Amen! May you use those gifts that you have received and pass on the love that has been given to you. Amen! May you be confident knowing you are a child of 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!
