Collect for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

The Word of God

O Lord, mercifully receive the prayers of your people who call upon you, and grant that they may know and understand what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. David and all the people with him set out and went from Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the LORD of hosts who is enthroned on the cherubim. They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart with the ark of God; and Ahio went in front of the ark. David and all the house of Israel were dancing before the LORD with all their might, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing; and when those who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling. David danced before the LORD with all his might; David was girded

First Lesson 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. As the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart. They brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and offerings of well-being before the LORD. When David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the offerings of well-being, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts, and distributed food among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, to each a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people went back to their homes.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

The earth is the LORD’S and all that is /in it, * the world and /all who dwell therein.For it is he who founded it upon the /seas * and made it firm upon the ri/vers of the deep.“Who can ascend the hill of the /LORD? “ * and who can stand /in his holy place?”“Those who have clean hands and a /pure heart, * who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by /what is a fraud.They shall receive a blessing from the /LORD * and a just reward from the God of /their salvation.”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that

Second Lesson Ephesians 1:3-14he set forth in Christ, as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and had believed in him, were marked with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit; this is the pledge of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s own people, to the praise of his glory.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Such is the generation of those who /seek him, * of those who seek your face, O /God of Jacob.Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting /doors; * and the King of glo/ry shall come in.“Who is this King of /glory?” * “The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, migh/ty in battle.”Lift up your heads, O gates; lift them high, O everlasting /doors; * and the King of glo/ry shall come in.“Who is he, this King of /glory?” * “The LORD of hosts, he is the /King of glory.”

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

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

Gospel Mark 6:14-29

King Herod heard of the demons cast out and the many who were anointed and cured, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some were saying, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; and for this reason these powers are at work in him.” But others said, “It is Elijah.” And others said, “It is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” But when Herod heard of it, he said, “John, whom I beheaded, has been raised.” For Herod himself had sent men who arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, because Herod had married her. For John had been telling Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” And Herodias had a grudge against him, and wanted to kill him. But she could not, for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and he protected him. When he heard him, he was greatly perplexed; and yet he liked to listen to him. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday

gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and for the leaders of Galilee. When his daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it.” And he solemnly swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, even half of my kingdom.” She went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” She replied, “The head of John the baptizer.” Immediately she rushed back to the king and requested, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” The king was deeply grieved; yet out of regard for his oaths and for the guests, he did not want to refuse her. Immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard with orders to bring John’s head. He went and beheaded him in the prison, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl. Then the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard about it, they came and took his body, and laid it in a tomb.

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.

Concluding Hymn 495 Hail, thou once despised Jesu • verses 1-3s

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our Guests,

Join me in welcoming Bishop White today. Following the service he will be in Bishops’ Hall for a special Coffee Hour & Dean’s Forum. He and Rob Beard will share with us their experience at General Convention and will answer questions you may have.

In June, we were shocked by the torching of four predominantly black churches. Let me suggest a way to help. Consider contributing to REBUILD THE CHURCHES FUND which has been established by our sister, Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis. All money received will be divided equally among these congregations: Glover Grove Baptist Church, Warrenville, SC; College Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church, Knoxville, TN; Briar Creek Baptist Church, Charlotte, NC; God’s Power Church of Christ, Macon, GA. We will receive and pass along your gifts as long as they come to us.

Jesus built his ministry around disciples. Today, we are his disciples. Though we don’t have the benefit of Christ’s physical presence, with the immediate support and guidance that brings, he is still spiritually present to us; he continues to guide us. So, how do we tap into his spiritual presence? How do we know where he is leading us? What gives us the strength to follow him?

We read and study what we know of him, as recorded in the Gospels. We experiment with his teachings in our own lives. We share our experiences, our thoughts and our questions with one another—until his nature becomes our nature, his voice our voice. There are a number of ministries at Christ Church Cathedral right now (even in these summer months) that can help you in this adventure of discipleship:

• Midday Mass—Holy Eucharist and Reflections. Noon each weekday in the Chapel. Read more about that on page 2.

• Tuesday Evening Bible Study is a sneak peak at the Gospel for the following Sunday—and an opportunity to critique the sermon from the past Sunday. What a deal! Read more about it on page 3.

• Evening Prayer. Monday–Friday, 6:00 in the Chapel. Evening Prayer is an opportunity to do the work that Christ called us to do. To pray for one another. Read more about it on page 2.

Enriching Our Worship continues throughout the summerEnriching 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.

Evening PrayerMonday - Friday, 6 p.m. in the Chapel. Be sure to thank your Evening Prayer Officiants: Paul Real, Rite II Evening Prayer, Monday; Mildred Payne, Rite II Evening Prayer, Tuesday; Aaron Angel, Rite II Evensong, Wednesday; Keith Stevenson, Rite I Evening Prayer, Thursday; the Dean, Rite II Evening Prayer, Friday.

The growth of our life in Christ is a life-long process—and a joyful one. Find something that fits, and get involved. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 20th century pastor and martyr, wrote:

If we answer the call to discipleship, where will it lead us? To answer this question, we shall have to go to Jesus, for only he knows the journey’s end. But we do know that it will be a road of boundless mercy. Discipleship means joy.

I’m glad you are here today

CALENDAR 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!
