First Lesson
Jeremiah 23:1-6
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! says the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil doings, says the Lord. Then I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will
raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall any be missing, says the Lord. The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be called: “The Lord is our righteousness.”
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Canticle 16 • WLP 889 Blessed be the God of Israel Second Lesson
Colossians 1:11-20
May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers-- all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Gospel

sung by cantor, then all
Luke 23:33-43
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.
Glory to you Lord Christ
When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his clothing. The people stood by, watching Jesus on the cross; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” There was The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ.

also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, “Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests,
Today is our Feast of Name: Christ the King. On this day, we focus on the leadership of Christ in our life—as individuals and as a community of faith that carries his name.
We have been talking for some time now about living generously—about how Christ could have more to do with guiding our decisions about our resources. Today, we gather in our pledges— bringing together our commitments to ministry at Christ Church Cathedral for 2017. As you make your way to the altar for Communion, place your completed Pledge Card in the vase standing before the altar. Note that there are cards in the vase—we have heard from a number of you already. We are still looking for 100% participation. If you have not yet decided how you will contribute to ministry, please take a Pledge Card home with you and prayerfully, carefully consider that. Extra pledge cards are in the pockets of the chairs in front of you. We will receive your cards through the year. Help us build a strong ministry at Christ Church Cathedral. Make plans to join us on Thursday for a Thanksgiving Liturgy with Eucharist and Thanksgiving Carols at noon in the Chapel. And welcome the season of Advent beginning next Sunday. In addition, mark your calendar for these important dates: • Advent Lessons and Carols, December 11 at 5:00 • Christmas Eve, December 24 at 7:00 and 11:00—arrive 30 minutes before each service for Christmas music. • Christmas Day, December 25 at 10:30. • Holy Name: the first Sunday after Christmas, January 1 at 10:30.
As you prepare for worship, reflect upon the words of Henri Nouwen:
Keep your eyes on the Prince of Peace, the one who doesn’t cling to his divine power; the one who refuses to turn stones into bread, jump from great heights, and rule with great power; the one who says, “blessed are the poor, the gentle, those who mourn, those who hunger and thirst for justice, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those persecuted for justice.” ... Keep your eyes on him who becomes poor with the poor, weak with the weak, and who is rejected with the rejected. That one, Jesus, is the source of all peace.
I am glad you are here today. Faithfully,
The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On This Last Sunday after Pentecost: Christ the King

Transgender Day of Remembrance
The 18th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance will be observed in Louisville with a service at Caldwell Chapel, 1044 Alta Vista Road, located on the campus of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary—tonight at 7:00 p.m. The event began with a web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil to remember Rita Hester, who was murdered on November 28, 1998; it has since grown internationally into a day to remember those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred and prejudice. Contact person is Deacon Gary England.
we study Sunday Bible Study
Every Sunday, 9:15 a.m. in the library Tom Peters leads a group in reading and studying through the Bible. The group is working its way through the Gospel of Luke. You are invited to join the group at any time.
Children’s Sunday School
Children’s Sunday School uses a clergy, chapter, parent and parishioner-led Montessori-based curriculum. 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, Amelia Vickerstaff, Janelle Vickerstaff, and Dr. Mike Foster. Contact Dean Pritcher if you would like to help with class preparation.
STEWARDSHIP NOTES
Living Generously
There’s a story of a man who was out walking along a stretch of road. It was a cold day, and he wrapped his coat tightly around him. The sun and the great north wind argued about who was more powerful and they decided to settle their difference on the matter by seeing who could remove the man’s coat from him. The north wind blew fiercely—as hard as he possibly could. But the man only clutched his coat more tightly around him. The sun came out and shone radiantly down upon the man. Before long, he removed his coat because of the sun’s warmth. We give, not because we are compelled to, but because we are drawn to it. On this Christ the King Sunday—our In-Gathering—consider what you are led to commit to secure ministry at Christ Church Cathedral.
we work New or Updated This Week — Reaching Out for Outreach
Next Community Breakfast Dec. 4
The next Community Breakfast is Sunday, December 4, 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.
Reaching Out for Outreach Lunch Bag Ministry
The lunch bag ministry is a way for Christ Church Cathedral to help feed our neighbors who are hungry. The bags contain bottled water, a protein, canned fruit, breakfast bar, a salty snack and something sweet. The lunch bags are assembled by a group of volunteer parishioners who meet at the church as needed to replenish the supply of bags. During the calendar year of 2015, Christ Church Cathedral gave out 950 lunch bags. So far this year we have given out 660 bags. The cost for the bags are paid for by Downtown Episcopal Outreach. So remember to “Feed the DEO Pig”. For more information, contact Paul Real who leads this ministry.

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.
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.

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!
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.

The Rev’d William L. Bippus and the Rev’d R. Edgar Wallace are Pastoral Associates at the Cathedral.

Join me in thanking them for their generous service to the Cathedral.
Parking At the Cathedral
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.

Chapter Nominations
Submit nominations for Chapter 2017 until next Sunday, November 27—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.
Scan Your Bulletin and Other Tech Notes
A QR code is posted at each entrance of the Nave. Scan it with your smartphone or other electronic device to download the Service Bulletin and Cathedral Matters into your device. To access the Cathedral’s Wi Fi signal when you are here, use the password ccc421425. And friend us on Facebook: Christ Church Cathedral (421 S. 2nd St., Louisville). Let us know if you have any questions
Office Hours
The Cathedral Office hours are Tuesday – Friday, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm., and the building is open from 9:00 am til 4:30 pm. However, note that if you have a pastoral care need at any time and cannot get through, the pastoral care line is always open. The number is: 502-632-3213.. 6
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.

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.

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!
