First Lesson
1 Samuel 8:4-20, 11:14-15
All the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, “You are old and your sons do not follow in your ways; appoint for us, then, a king to govern us, like other nations.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to govern us.” Samuel prayed to the LORD, and the LORD said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. Just as they have done to me, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so also they are doing to you. Now then, listen to their voice; only-- you shall solemnly warn them, and show them the ways of the king who shall reign over them.” So Samuel reported all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, “These
2
will be the ways of the king who will reign over you: he will take your sons and appoint them to his chariots and to be his horsemen, and to run before his chariots; and he will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and some to plow his ground and to reap his harvest, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive orchards and give them to his courtiers. He will take one-tenth of your grain and of your vineyards and give it to his officers and his courtiers. He will take your male and female slaves, and the best of your cattle and donkeys, and put them to his work. He will take one-tenth of your flocks, and you shall be his slaves. And in that day you will cry out because of your king, whom you have chosen
for yourselves; but the LORD will not answer you in that day.” But the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; they said, “No! but we are determined to have a king over us, so that we also may be like other nations, and that our king may govern us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
Samuel said to the people, “Come, let us go to Gilgal and there renew the kingship.” So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they sacrificed offerings of well-being before the LORD, and there Saul and all the Israelites rejoiced greatly.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my /whole heart; * before the gods /I will sing your praise.
I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your /Name, * because of your/ love and faithfulness; For you have glorified your /Name * and your /word above all things.
When I called, you /answered me; * you increased my /strength within me.
All the kings of the earth will praise you, O /LORD, * when they have heard the/ words of your mouth. They will sing of the ways of the/ LORD, * that great is the glo/ry of the LORD.
Though the LORD be high, he cares for the /lowly; * he perceives the haugh/ty from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me /safe; * you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right /hand shall save me.
The LORD will make good his purpose /for me; * O LORD, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the /works of your hands.

2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1
Second Lesson
Just as we have the same spirit of faith that is in accordance with scripture-- “I believed, and so I spoke” -- we also believe, and so we speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will bring us with you into his presence. Yes, everything is for your sake, so that grace, as it extends to more and more people, may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
Gospel
Mark 3:20-35
The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Mark.
Glory to you Lord Christ
The crowd came together again, so that Jesus and his disciples could not even eat. When his family heard it, they went out to restrain him, for people were saying, “He has gone out of his mind.” And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, “He has Beelzebul, and by the ruler of the demons he casts out demons.” And he called them to him, and spoke to them in parables, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but his end has come. But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his property without first tying up the strong man; then indeed the house can be plundered.
“Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven for their sins and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit can never have forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” -- for they had said, “He has an unclean spirit.” Then his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside, they sent to him and called him. A crowd was sitting around him; and they said to him, “Your mother and your brothers and sisters are outside, asking for you.” And he replied, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking at those who sat around him, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

Invitation to Holy Communion From the United Church of Christ Come to this sacred table not because you must, but because you may. Come not because you are fulfilled, but because in your emptiness you stand in need of God’s mercy and assurance. Come not to express an opinion, but to seek a presence and to pray for a spirit. Come to this table, then, sisters and brothers, as you are. Partake and share. It is spread for you and me that we might again known that God has come to us, shared our common lot, and invited us to join the people of God’s new age.

June 7, 2015
A church in the heart of the city with a heart for the c ity For more on these and other Cathedral Matters go to . . . www.christchurchlouky.org Weekly E-Notes facebook.com/ChristChurchLouKY • Twitter.com/ChristChurchLou
from the Dean . . . . . My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Guests, Plan to be with us next week for an extended Coffee Hour and Conversation about our Cathedral Endowment. We will learn ways that each and every one of us can contribute to secure the Cathedral’s future. Read more about that and our special guest Carter Ruml on page 5. Today is the second Sunday after Pentecost. Historically, Christians have observed either this past Thursday or on this day, the Feast of Corpus Christi. It is a commemoration of the institution of Holy Communion, one of the two main sacraments of the church. The phrase, corpus christi means ‘body of Christ’. It has roots in the Church of England as early as the 14th century. As you prepare for worship this Feast of Corpus Christi, reflect upon Holy Communion, with these words of Lewis Smedes: When I chew a piece of bread and sip a nip of wine in holy communion, I reopen my memory lifeline to an immense family. It doesn’t happen every time, but now and then I feel as if the ancient Jews become my family. The apostles and martyrs become my family. The Orthodox in Russia . . . the Catholics in Poland and the Pentecostals in Chile. The wretched of the earth become my family. And remembering that I belong to this spiritual family helps me know who I am and where I fit. I’m glad you are here today Faithfully,
The Very Rev’d Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Second Sunday after Pentecost: The Feast of Corpus Christi

Enriching Our Worship continues throughout the summer
Enriching Our Worship (EOW),is a Eucharistic Prayer produced by the National Church Standing Liturgical Commission in 1998, and later approved for use by General Convention. It will not be new to you, because the Cathedral has used it before. In EOW, you will recognize the familiar shape of the Eucharistic prayer that we hear every Sunday: the Sursum Corda (‘the Lord be with you; and also with you’ ...), the Sanctus (‘Holy, holy, holy’ ...) and the Great AMEN. If you have not experienced EOW, you might enjoy its simplicity. 2
Choir News
• The Cathedral Choir sang a short concert for a group of Episcopal chaplains this past Friday at the Cathedral. The chaplains were attending a national convention for chaplains and asked to have dinner here at the Cathedral, and to have our choir provide some music for their evening. It only proves that those chaplains have extremely good taste! • Mark Sunday, June 21, as Gospel Sunday at the Cathedral. During morning worship, guest musicians Jane Halliday and Andrew Fleischman will lead us in music from the Gospel tradition. Plan to tap your feet and have your spirits raised as we make a joyful noise! • The Cathedral Choir will sing through Sunday, July 5, and then take a break until late August.

There are Pledge Cards in the Narthex, at the south door, and at the office table. Just ask if you can’t find one. How can I submit a Pledge Card?

How can I help even more? You can continue to pray with us. Try these words:
God of infinite blessing, when you fashioned the world the morning stars sang together and the host of heaven shouted for joy; open our eyes to the wonders of your creation and teach us to use all things for good, that we may be blessed and be a blessing so that all may live in your abundance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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!
