The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

• all be seated

Now in Joppa there was a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which in Greek is Dorcas. She was devoted to good works and acts of charity. At that time she became ill and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in a room upstairs. Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, who heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the request, “Please come to us without delay.” So Peter got up and went with them; and when he arrived, they took him to the room upstairs. All the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing

First Lesson Acts 9:36-43

tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was with them. Peter put all of them outside, and then he knelt down and prayed. He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up. He gave her his hand and helped her up. Then calling the saints and widows, he showed her to be alive. This became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. Meanwhile he stayed in Joppa for some time with a certain Simon, a tanner.

The Lord is my shepherd; * I shall not be in want.He makes me lie down in green pastures * and leads me beside still waters.He revives my soul * and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake.Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; * for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; * you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, * and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I 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

Second Lesson Revelation 7:9-17white, 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.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, according to John.Glory to you Lord Christ

The Gospel of the Lord.Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Gospel John 10:22-30

At that time the festival of the Dedication took place in Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.” Jesus answered, “I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s

name testify to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.”

I hope you are planning to join me for our annual Cathedral Endowment Lunch & Conversation, following 10:30 worship today. The focus will be how each and every one of us can help

to secure the future of the Cathedral—the Endowment is a good way to do that. At today’s Lunch & Conversation, you will be hearing from: Fr. Edgar Wallace, regarding our Christian responsibility to give; Mr. Carter Ruml, about the many ways to plan our giving; and Mr. Rob Beard, on how to go about making our gift to the Endowment. Join us in Bishops’ Hall.

Our youth will be gathering today also after 10:30 worship—for Lunch and Bowling. Many thanks to our Children, Youth and Family Committee for their logistical support and our Cathedral Intern, Allison Caudill (today’s preacher), who is leading the outing.

Note that we have added two names to our masthead—the Rev’d William L. Bippus and the Rev’d R. Edgar Wallace. No strangers to the Cathedral, they have served for some time now: on Sundays, preaching and presiding; on Weekdays, in support of Midday Mass; regularly offering sage advice, from their wealth of experience in parish ministry. The Bishop and I are pleased to make this official by including them on our printed materials. Join me in thanking them for their generous service to the Cathedral.

There is much to look forward to in the next few weeks. You won’t want to miss any of it:• The Day of Pentecost: Whitsunday, May 15, 8:30 and 10:30 am. • The Blessing of the Wissinger Organ and Dedicatory Concert, May 15, 5:00 pm. • The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, May 22, 8:30 and 10:30 am. • The Feast of Corpus Christi, May 29, 8:30 and 10:30 am.

And, of course, first up will be the Holy Day of Thunder, April 23, and the Feast of the Most Holy Derby, May 7. Enjoy them all.

As you prepare for worship, reflect upon these words of Ambrose: When we speak about wisdom, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about virtue, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about justice, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about peace, we are speaking of Christ. When we speak about truth and life and redemption, we are speaking of Christ.

I am glad that you are here today.

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Fourth Sunday of Easter

New this Week: Al Masri family update

Weekday Bible StudyTuesdays, 5:15 p.m. in Bishops’ Hall. At Bible Study, we pray, reflect upon the preceding Sunday’s sermon, and study the Gospel passage for the following Sunday. The passage for this Tuesday, April 19, is John 13.31-35.

Adult Bible Study Every Sunday, 9:15 a.m. in the libraryTom Peters leads a group in reading and studying through the Bible. The group has worked its way to the Gospel of Luke. You are invited to join the group at any time.

Vacation Bible SchoolBefore the warm weather of summer beckons your family away, mark your calendar to join area Episcopal Churches for Family Style VBS on Thursdays from 5:30-7:30PM in July. Together, we will explore what Jesus taught about being blessed and seek to connect within our own families and the family of God. Host churches include St. Mark’s, St. Andrew’s, Church of the Advent, and Calvary. St. Matthew’s will host an end of the summer party. Registration begins soon and all are welcome!

Al Masri family updateThe Al Masris continue to adapt to American culture while developing their skills in English. Meyer, 23, is now a waiter at the Queen of Sheba restaurant; he loves being able to speak Arabic with the owner, speak English with the clients – and probably have some great food on the side! The only downside is that it takes 2 hours on the bus to get there from the family’s apartment. However, he passed his driver’s test on the second attempt last Wednesday. Was he elated! Page will continue to let him practice with her car, and could use a volunteer or two to help. Now the search will be on for a good used car, once they have saved enough. Any leads appreciated! Dad, Mohammad Faisal, and Mom, Fryal, are working at KRM cleaning until their English skills are deemed advanced enough for a job. Thanks to John Werst, Mohammad Faisal willhave one that uses his experience in plumbing and plumbing supplies. The “little ones”,Ali,8, and Fatima, 15, love their schools. Mohammed, 20, is a bit of a mystery, but he isimproving his English and does have experience as a waiter. Once the weather is consistently warm, we’d like to plan a zoo outing, followed by a picnic across the road in Joe Creason Park. This has been popular with our other refugee families.If you and your families would like to participate, please let Page know so that we can save a Saturday for it. Sunday afternoon might also work, with supper afterward. Page Curry [451-0240; [email protected]]

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. DEO contributes to the cost of Laundry Love and also covers the costs of the Lunch Bag program that Paul Real and his crew administer. The Lunch Bag program has given out more than 950 Lunch Bags this year. You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.

Laundry Love—a Diocesan Urban Ministry InitiativeLaundry Love Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/driers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. It has been a help to another Cathedral outreach ministry—Central Louisville Community Ministry (formerly HELP ministry). This ministry continues to be a success in the Diocese of Kentucky—thanks to Canon Jason Lewis, Deacon Dru Kemp and other members of the Laundry Love team—including the cathedral’s own, Dorothy Converse, Mike DaRif and Mildred Payne. Each month, the response has grown—you can take heart in knowing that we are part of a ministry that is meeting a deep need in the community. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach). This project has been underwritten, so your participation will not require money—just your presence. Let Mike DaRif or Dorothy Converser know if you’re interested in helping.

CLOUT (Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together)CLOUT is an organization of 18 religious congregations and groups of over 12,000 members working together to solve critical community problems by holding systems accountable. The vision is based on scripture—particularly Micah 6:8 and Matthew 23:23-24, which state that God requires us to do three basic things: “do justice, love kindness (mercy), and walk humbly with God (faithfulness).” Recent, successful CLOUT projects have included: the development of a plan for community-oriented policing in the Louisville Police Department, a built-in drug and alcohol treatment program in the Louisville Metro jail, and the enrollment of over 60,0000 additional uninsured children in the KCHIP (KY Child Health Insurance Program). Current projects are: the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, Pay Day loaning, JCPS disciplinary policies which contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline, and increasing TARC bus service to underserved areas.

Next Community Breakfast May 1 The next Community Breakfast will be Sunday, May 1, 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. Contact Randy Peters for more information.

Sacred Conversation ReportHere is the product of our 3-part Sacred Conversation: a Mission and Vision for Christ Church Cathedral—plus Strategy Filters to help keep them on track:

MISSION describes what God is calling a congregation to do at a moment in time. Our Christ Church Cathedral Mission is: • to seek Christ in all persons and be a welcoming community • to serve in the name of Christ. • to worship • to provide opportunities for Christian Formation and discipleshipVISION is a hopeful picture of future that describes what the congregation and world will look like when your mission has been accomplished. Our Vision is: Christ Church Cathedral is a city-center faith community engaged in worship, in nurturing one another, in sharing resources and selves— with one another and with neighbors. It aims to be more visible in Louisville to grow stronger, and to be more central to the work of the diocese.

STRATEGY FILTERS are questions we can ask in reference to a new ministry initiative—that can help us to keep our mission on track. For example: • Does this ministry further our mission and vision (keeping in mind that mission and vision evolves)? • Is there a need for this ministry? • Is it unique or does it duplicate others’ work (in our congregation or outside it)? • If there is another ministry already in place,can we partner with that ministry? • Is it financially sustainable through current budget, potential gifts or fees? Are there grants available? • Is it consistent with our identity? Does it expand it?

• Do we have the internal capacity to begin and sustain this initiative (including is there a recipient of the ministry?)? • If the project fails, what then? • Will it develop discipleship for our congregation? • Have we prayed about it? • Might it meet needs of individuals or families in the congregation? • Is there time built in for evaluation of the ministry?

Membership in the Episcopal ChurchIf you are currently not an Episcopalian, but would like to be, talk to Dean Pritcher. She will arrange for an Inquirer’s Class and baptism and/or confirmation, and answer any other questions about membership at the Cathedral. 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 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.

CCC Parking UpdateParking has been arranged for Sunday mornings only at the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons, at the corner of 2nd and Muhammad Ali. This is only for Sunday mornings. (You will be towed if you park there at other times during the week.) Parking is also available free of charge on Sunday mornings at the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. We are currently working on other options. Stay tuned.

Stewardship Notes—Updated

“Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Creator, who created all the lights in the heavens. God never changes or casts a shifting shadow” James 1:17

Throughout the Bible, we are reminded that God is a giver of all good things. God gives us life and “this fragile earth, our island home”. Our entire life is a reflection of God’s abundance.

Your on-going support of the cathedral inspires me and I’m deeply grateful. Thank you for your generosity. It enables our ministries and furthers our mission. Each week, we are nurtured in word and sacrament. Empowered by the Spirit, we can then go into the world to care for those who are ill or hurting, and welcome all those searching for a connection to God and community.

My prayer during this season of stewardship is that God as Giver will awaken a new sense of abundance in all of us and an increased commitment to living generously. Prayerfully consider and register your intention to give to God through ministry at Christ Church Cathedral in 2016—you can find a Pledge Card in the pocket of the chair in front of you, at the entrances, or at the office credenza.

Thus far, we have received 86 pledges for the amount of $304,475.04. 12 of these are new pledges; 36 reflect an increase; 6, a decrease; 32 no change. Thank you!

Generous God, in our love, teach us to be your hearts and hands in this world. Help us to feel your presence, to know your love, and to be your stewards in this world. We offer all of this up in the name of the Holy Trinity, one 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!
