Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus,

First Lesson Acts 9:1-6

suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” He asked, “Who are you, Lord?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do.”

I will exalt you, O Lord, because you have lifted me /up * and have not let my enemies /triumph over me .O Lord my God, I cried /out to you, * and you re/stored me to health .You brought me up, O Lord, from the /dead; * you restored my life as I was going /down to the grave .Sing to the Lord, you servants of /his; * give thanks for the remembrance /of his holiness .For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an /eye, * his favor /for a lifetime .Weeping may spend the /night, * but joy comes /in the morning .While I felt secure, I said, “I shall never be dis/turbed. * You, Lord, with your favor, made me as strong /as the mountains.”Then you hid your /face, * and /I was filled with fear .I cried to you, O/ Lord; * I pleaded with/ the Lord, saying,

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and mightand honor and glory and blessing!”

Second Lesson Revelation 5:11-14 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing,

And the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

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 21:1-19

When it was evening on that day, the Jesus showed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias; and he showed himself in this way. Gathered there together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on the beach; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, you have no fish, have you?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in because there were so many fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped into the sea. But the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, only about a hundred yards off. When they had gone ashore, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large

fish, a hundred fifty-three of them; and though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they knew it was the Lord. Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you, when you were younger, you used to fasten your own belt and to go wherever you wished. But when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will fasten a belt around you and take you where you do not wish to go.” (He said this to indicate the kind of death by which he would glorify God.) After this he said to him, “Follow me.”

Postlude Grand Jeu from Livre d’Orgue du Mage

The worship is concluded. The SERVICE begins!

Page 9: Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville: Bulletin for the Third Sunday of Easter

Leo Tolstoy wrote that Russian peasants greeted one another joyfully at Easter with the words ‘Christ is risen!’ It reminded them of the miracle of Christ’s resurrection

and of their new life. They kept that practice throughout Eastertide and it shaped their life for the entire season—maybe beyond. Our practice of beginning worship with those words serves the same purpose for us. The early church also marked the season of Easter by suspending Confession and by standing throughout Holy Communion (even as they received the bread and wine). These were two ways to express their joy and their new liberty.

We will keep all of these Easter practices:

• to express (and increase) our joy, • to reflect upon the quality of our relationship with God, • to consider the changes that it might bring to our lives • to do the work of Easter

Eastertide will continue through May 15, the Day of Pentecost. On that day, we will celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit, the companion to the church. That afternoon, Bishop White will bless the Wissenger organ and enjoy a dedicatory concert—read more about that on page 2.

Next week, we gather after 10:30 worship for lunch and our second annual Cathedral Endowment Conversation. We will hear about ways that each and every one of us can be part of securing the future of the Cathedral. Join us for presentations by the Rev’d Fr. Edgar Wallace, Carter Ruml and Rob Beard.

I am glad that you are here today.

Faithfully,

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

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.

Brightside Community CleanupSaturday, April 16, 8:00 a.m. through noon.This is another opportunity for the Cathedral community to help improve our Louisville neighborhoods. We can select an area or Brightside can tell us where they need us most. The Cathedral has not been an active participant for several years and it would be nice for us to show we are here and we care about our neighborhoods.Contact Randy Peters at [email protected] or sign up on the sheet on the bulletin board.

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.

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!
