worship, in the form of quiet meditation, begins with the prelude

As the holy season of Lent is a penitential season marked by more austere and humble forms of worship , we will kneel during the times of prayer.

If you are unable to kneel, you may sit. Sitting, instead of standing, is a form of hospitality that does not block the sight lines of those who choose the kneeling posture.

Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

When you have come into the land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance to possess, and you possess it, and settle in it, you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you harvest from the land that the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that the Lord your God will choose as a dwelling for his name. You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time, and say to him, “Today I declare to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the Lord your God, you shall make this response before the Lord your God: “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien, few in number, and there he became a great

First Lesson Deuteronomy 26:1-11nation, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us, by imposing hard labor on us, we cried to the Lord, the God of our ancestors; the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression. The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, with a terrifying display of power, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you, O Lord, have given me.” You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. Then you, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

“The word is near you,on your lips and in your heart”(that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and

Second Lesson Romans 10:8b-13one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

He who dwells in the shelter of the /Most High, * abides under the shadow of the /Almighty.He shall say to the Lord, “You are my refuge and my /stronghold, * my God in whom /I put my trust.”Because you have made the Lord your /refuge, * and the Most High your habi/tation,There shall no evil happen to /you, * neither shall any plague come near /your dwelling.For he shall give his angels charge /over you, * to keep you /in all your ways.They shall bear you in /their hands, * lest you dash your foot a/gainst a stone.You shall tread upon the lion and /adder; * you shall trample the young lion and the serpent un/der your feet.Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I de/liver him; * I will protect him, because /he knows my Name.He shall call upon me, and I will /answer him; * I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him /to honor.With long life will I satis/fy him, * and show him my /salvation.

Sermon The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher

Nicene Creed • BCP 358 all stand

Gospel Luke 4:1-13The Holy Gospel of our Lord, Jesus Christ, acording to Luke.Glory to you Lord Christ

After his baptism, Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days, and when they were over, he was famished. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’” Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said to him, “To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me, and I give it to anyone I

please. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’” Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time.

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

Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual 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 members 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.

The worship is concluded. The SERVICE begins!

Silent Procession of Choir and Clergy

Today is the first Sunday in Lent and we begin worship with the singing of the Great Litany in procession (found in your Hymn

Books on page S-67). Also, following Prayers of the People and preceding Confession, we will hear Ash Wednesday’s invitation to the observance of a Holy Lent.

Plan to include in your Lenten observance some of the opportunities for devotion that we have put into place:

• Daily Eucharist, Noon in the Chapel (read more on page 2) • Daily Evening Prayer, Monday – Wednesday and Friday, 6:00 pm in the Chapel • Soup and Informal Conversation, Tuesdays, following Midday Mass in Bishops’ Hall.

As you prepare for worship consider these words of writer Simone Weil:

2 prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate by knocking on a wall. The wall is the thing that separates them, but it is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.

Enjoy our life together—I am glad you are here today.

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this First Sunday in Lent

Baptism PreparationIf you are interested in being Baptized at the Easter Vigil, March 26, let us know by Sunday, March 13, so that we can make plans for preparation. You may email your intention to the office: office@christchurchlouky.org.

Our Nave You might notice that the altar has been moved closer to you in the Nave. This is not a new configuration, but it is a shift from the most recent years—and something that we have been experimenting with since summer. Our children now have a ‘front-row-seat’ to the action that, we believe, is empowering to their faith. Note also that when we speak the Nicene Creed or walk through the space, we face or reverence an altar that is now even more in our midst. The intention in all of this is to make the Eucharist more central in our focus and in worship. It is something that we and the Bishop have been working with since last year this time. We believe we have an arrangement that will work for us for the foreseeable future. I am interested in how you are experiencing them—let me know what you think..

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 Dariff 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 3rd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Plan to be part of the team—the cathedral will sponsor the next event on a Thursday in February to be announced. 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 DaRiff 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. The next CLOUT event is the CLOUT area-wide Nehemiah Gathering on March 15.

Next Community Breakfast March 6 The next Community Breakfast will be Sunday, March 6, 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 discipleship

VISION 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?

Gay Men’s Supper ClubThe Cathedral’s Gay Men’s Supper Club meets each month for conversation and supper. Contact Bill Shelton, woshelton@gmail.com, or call 897-3079.

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 85 pledges for the amount of $304,225.04. 11 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!
