When the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal. Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here; for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the Lord lives, and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on. Fifty men of the company of prophets also went, and stood at some distance from them, as they both were standing by the Jordan. Then Elijah took his mantle and rolled it up, and struck the water; the water was parted to the one side and to the other, until the two of them crossed on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me what I may do for you, before I am taken from you.” Elisha said,

First Lesson 2 Kings 2:1-2, 6-14

“Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit.” He responded, “You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it will be granted you; if not, it will not.” As they continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them, and Elijah ascended in a whirlwind into heaven. Elisha kept watching and crying out, “Father, father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” But when he could no longer see him, he grasped his own clothes and tore them in two pieces. He picked up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, saying, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he had struck the water, the water was parted to the one side and to the other, and Elisha went over.

Collect for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost

The Word of God

Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Psalm 77:1-2, 11-20 • spoken

I will cry aloud to God; * I will cry aloud, and he will hear me.In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; * my hands were stretched out by night and did not tire; I refused to be comforted.I will remember the works of the Lord, * and call to mind your wonders of old time.I will meditate on all your acts * and ponder your mighty deeds.Your way, O God, is holy; * who is so great a god as our God?You are the God who works wonders * and have declared your power among the peoples.By your strength you have redeemed your people, * the children of Jacob and Joseph.The waters saw you, O God; the waters saw you and trembled; * the very depths were shaken.The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered; * your arrows flashed to and fro;The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind; your lightnings lit up the world; * the earth trembled and shook.Your way was in the sea, and your paths in the great waters, * yet your footsteps were not seen.You led your people like a flock * by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Alleluia Verse • sung by cantor, then all

For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” If, however, you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another. Live by the Spirit, I say, and do not gratify the desires of the flesh. For what the flesh desires is opposed to the Spirit, and what the Spirit desires is opposed to the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are

Second Lesson Galatians 5:1,13-25not subject to the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.Glory to you Lord Christ

Gospel Luke 9:51-62

When the days drew near for Jesus to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; but they did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. When his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” But he turned and rebuked them. Then they went on to another village. As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you

wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” Jesus said to him, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”

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

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiri-tual food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living mem-bers of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Welcome, today, our guest preacher (no stranger to us), Deacon Gary England. Take a moment following the service to thank Deacon Gary.

One of our regular presiders for Midday Mass is the pastor of a sister parish—First Lutheran Church on Broadway. The Rev’d Pastor Austin Newberry is faithful to lead midday services on Wednesday of each week. You may have met him on one of those days. On July 17, Pastor Austin and I will ‘swap’ pulpits and altars. He will lead worship at the Cathedral and I will lead worship at First Lutheran. Read more about Pastor Austin on page 2.

I am out of the office this week—and Midday Mass and Evening Prayer are on break until Tuesday, July 5 (read more about that on page 2). However, please call if you have a pastoral care or emergency. The pastoral care line is always open: 502-632-3213.

As you prepare for worship today, consider these words of David Steindl-Rast:

Abundance . . . is not measured by what flows in, but by what flows over. The smaller we make the vessel of our need . . . the sooner we get the overflow we need for delight. Fullness flows into us in the measure we become empty.

I’m grateful you are with us today

Faithfully,The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Sixth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Austin NewberryA native of Pensacola, Florida, Rev. Austin Newberry is pastor of First Lutheran in Louisville, KY. Pastor Austin first came to Southern Indiana in 1977 as a Roman Catholic college student at St. Meinrad Seminary. After college, he became a monk, completed his theological training and was ordained to the priesthood. Leaving the monastery and priesthood in 1997, he moved to Tallahassee where he worked for the Florida Bar and the Florida Supreme Court. Pastor Austin began attending a Lutheran church in 2001, eventually joined, and after discerning a call to return to ministry, he was accepted as a candidate for first call after completing some Lutheran specific coursework at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, MN. Pastor Austin presides at our Wednesday Midday Mass each week. He will be with us on Sunday, July 17—in an altar swap between the Cathedral and his parish, First Lutheran.

Sunday Bible Study Every Sunday, 9:15 a.m. in the libraryTom 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.

we work

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).” CLOUT recently ended a successful year on a very high note—it brought about the funding of JCPS work for restorative justice and building the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Many thanks to Jim Monin, Mildred Franks, Page Curry, Mildred Payne, John Kiesel and Linda Kiesel for their faithful support of this social justice ministry. Prayerfully consider joining them for this next year of challenges.

Next Community Breakfast July 3 The next Community Breakfast is next Sunday, July 3, 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.

Laundry Love—a Diocesan Urban Ministry InitiativeLaundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/driers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Next Laundry Love event is Thursday, July 14. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach).

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.

Children’s Sunday SchoolChildren’s Sunday School is on break for the summer but it returns in September. At that time, you can look forward to a clergy, chapter, parent and parishioner-led Montessori-based curriculum. 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 listen

Coffee Hour hostsToday’s Coffee Hour hosts are ohn and Becky Vickerstaff and Carol Brown. Be sure to thank them for their hospitality.

Coffee Hour Sign-upsNow is the time for new volunteers to step forward! Thanks to our committed hosts and hostesses, we have 14 regular teams who provide an amazing assortment of treats after services for most of the year. When we have Sacred Conversations, small sandwiches are added if possible, supplied by people other than team members. Such will be the case on June 19. In addition, we are short: beginning on July 17, there are a number of ‘blank Sundays’ where only coffee, tea and juice may be offered. Two have been designated as ‘ice cream social’ Sundays, quite easy to do; the dates for these are flexible. We usually have two people per Sunday, though there are some groups of three. You may bring anything you like -- homemade or store bought matters not! Do help us avoid a food desert! Hospitality matters. A sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board. Page Curry [501 451-0240; [email protected]] will be happy to answer questions and will be there on your first Sunday.

CCC Book GroupThe CCC Book Group will meet next on July 17th at 4:00pm. Randy Peters will host at her home. We will discuss Still Life by Louise Penny. Please reply to Randy with your attendance: [email protected]

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]]

New Pastoral AssociatesWe 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; and daily, 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.

Women’s Lunch BunchCathedral women meet for fellowship and lunch on the third Thursday of each month. For more information, or to make a reservation, e-mail [email protected], or call Mildred Franks, 893-3815.

Juice Glasses NeededIf you are at a yard sale or estate sale or consignment shop or wherever and see juice size glasses that you would be willing to purchase and donate, we could really use them, especially for the Community Breakfast, but also for coffee hour. Keep your receipt for charitable donation credit and just put them in the kitchen. That would be fabulous! Thanks so much

Stewardship Notes

“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 87 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.

Kroger Community Rewards programThe new Kroger Community Rewards program 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.

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!
