First Lesson
Revelation 7:9-17
After this I, John, looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.” Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in
white, and where have they come from?” I said to him, “Sir, you are the one that knows.” Then he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Psalm 34:1-10,22
• sung by all
I will bless the Lord at /all times; * his praise shall ever /be in my mouth. I will glory in the /Lord; * let the humble /hear and rejoice.
Proclaim with me the greatness of the /Lord; * let us exalt his /Name together. I sought the Lord, and he /answered me * and delivered me out of /all my terror. Look upon him and be /radiant, * and let not your /faces be ashamed.
I called in my affliction and the Lord /heard me * and saved me from /all my troubles.
The angel of the Lord encompasses those who /fear him, * and he /will deliver them. Taste and see that the Lord is /good; * happy are /they who trust in him!
Fear the Lord, you that are his /saints, * for those who fear /him lack nothing.
The young lions lack and suffer /hunger, * but those who seek the Lord lack /nothing that is good. The Lord ransoms the life of his /servants, * and none will be pun/ished who trust in him.
Second Lesson
1 John 3:1-3
See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God. 4

Matthew 5:1-12
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Matthew.
Glory to you Lord Christ
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Renewal of Baptismal Vows • BCP 304 • the people move to the font while singing:
Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy
6
The Baptismal Covenant Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ? I do Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? I will, with God’s help. Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? I will, with God’s help. Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? I will, with God’s help. Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? I will, with God’s help. Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help.
• after the renewal of baptismal vows, the priest chants the Vidi Aquam as the people are

It is truly right to glorify you, Father, and to give you thanks; for you alone are God, living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and for ever. Fountain of life and source of all goodness, you made all things and fill them with your blessing; you created them to rejoice in the splendor of your radiance. Countless throngs of angels stand before you to serve you night and day; and, beholding the glory of your presence, they offer you unceasing praise. Joining with them, and giving voice to every creature under heaven, we acclaim you, and glorify your Name, as we sing (say),
Sanctus WLP 852
10
We acclaim you, holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy you came to our help, so that in seeking you we might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you, and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation. Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your only Son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the whole creation new. And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the sanctification of all.
11
When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper with them he took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, 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; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, 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.” Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ’s death and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and ascension to your right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you have given us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you. We praise you, we bless you, we give thanks to you, and we pray to you, Lord our God. Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name. Remember, Lord, your one holy catholic and apostolic Church, redeemed by the blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace.

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Today, we remember those famous, and not-so-famous men and women who have gone before us. Their example impresses upon us the challenge that is made to all followers of Christ: to keep the faith, to press on. The words of the Gospel lesson assure the despondent, the dispossessed, and the seekers of justice that the realm of God will put things right. And they promise reward to those who walk the way—and work to alleviate suffering and injustice. Justice and mercy have been important themes of the Cathedral for many years. As we ponder today how we might better live out Christ’s challenge, we might also consider the work of our fathers and mothers in this place. And as we do that, we might remember that Christ Church Cathedral did not just appear. It was and is the result of a labor of love and—most likely—blood, sweat and tears. Because of one hundred and ninety five years of vision, hard work and dedication, we have this cathedral in which to worship, study and serve. We are doing our part now to assure that it is here for another one hundred and ninety five years—and then some. I encourage you to reflect upon your commitment to this place. Dream boldly, plan bravely, and register your intentions by completing and returning your Pledge Card—today or by mail or at our In-Gathering two weeks from today, Sunday, November 19. With the information gathered, we will make plans for the ministry of your Cathedral in 2018. Read more about next week’s Evensong and Concert (on page 2), about Walking the Way (on page 4), and about seasonal services of worship just around the corner (on page 2). We welcome Bishop White today. Take a moment to give him your personal greeting at Coffee Hour following worship. Enjoy our life together today—I’m glad you are here. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Sunday after All Saints’ Day

You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.
Laundry Love
Laundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/dryers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. We help fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach).

Collecting Cold Weather Wear
Cold weather is approaching and we are collecting socks, gloves and hats for distribution to our neighbors. Place any you’d like to share in the box by the Office.
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. WALKING THE WAY In the times of the early church, believers were referred to as followers of the way. This was based upon Christ’s statement: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ The ‘way’ was not so much a path to travel as a model to imitate. Walking the Way meant to live as Christ did. Thomas A Kempis writes in the spiritual classic, Imitation of Christ: “If we wish to be truly enlightened and free from all blindness of heart, let our chief effort, therefore, be to study the life of Jesus Christ.” In today’s gospel we see who lives the blessed life. Not those who are most correct, but rather those who show the love and humility of Christ and hunger to be more like him. Think of your faith journey as walking the way.
we listen New or Updated This Week — Coffee Hour Host
Coffee Hour hosts
Coffee Hour hosts for this week are Randy Wells and Diane Kyle. Be sure to thank them for their 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.
Greetings!

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 2017 Directory listings). Thank you!

Welcome Ministry

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
If you have a pastoral care emergency or concern, call Dean Pritcher any time on the Pastoral Care line: 502-632-3213.

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!
