Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man and in high favor with his master, because by him the Lord had given victory to Aram. The man, though a mighty warrior, suffered from leprosy. Now the Arameans on one of their raids had taken a young girl captive from the land of Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “If only my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.” So Naaman went in and told his lord just what the girl from the land of Israel had said. And the king of Aram said, “Go then, and I will send along a letter to the king of Israel.” He went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of garments. He brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read, “When this letter reaches you, know that I have sent to you my servant Naaman, that you may cure him of his leprosy.” When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God,

to give death or life, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Just look and see how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me.” But when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come to me, that he may learn that there is a prophet in Israel.” So Naaman came with his horses and chariots, and halted at the entrance of Elisha’s house. Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored and you shall be clean.” But Naaman became angry and went away, saying, “I thought that for me he would surely come out, and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and would wave his hand over the spot, and cure the leprosy! Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them, and be clean?” He turned and went away

Collect for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

The Word of God

O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Psalm 30 • spoken

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 restored 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 disturbed. * 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,“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the Pit? * will the dust praise you or declare your faithfulness?Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me; * O Lord, be my helper.”You have turned my wailing into dancing; * you have put off my sack-cloth and clothed me with joy.Therefore my heart sings to you without ceasing; * O Lord my God, I will give you thanks for ever.

in a rage. But his servants approached and said to him, “Father, if the prophet had commanded you to do something difficult, would you not have done it? How much more, when all he said to you was, `Wash,

and be clean’?” So he went down and immersed himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; his flesh was restored like the flesh of a young boy, and he was clean.

Alleluia Verse • sung by cantor, then all

Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow. If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap eternal life from the Spirit. So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest-time, if we do not give up. So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith. See what large letters I make when I am writing in my own hand! It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that try to compel you to be

Second Lesson Galatians 6: 7-16circumcised-- only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. Even the circumcised do not themselves obey the law, but they want you to be circumcised so that they may boast about your flesh. May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything; but a new creation is everything! As for those who will follow this rule-- peace be upon them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

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

Gospel Luke 10:1-11, 16-20

The Lord appointed seventy others and sent them on ahead of him in pairs to every town and place where he himself intended to go. He said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go on your way. See, I am sending you out like lambs into the midst of wolves. Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road. Whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace to this house!’ And if anyone is there who shares in peace, your peace will rest on that person; but if not, it will return to you. Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the laborer deserves to be paid. Do not move about from house to house. Whenever you enter a town and its people welcome you, eat what is set before you; cure the sick who are there, and say to them, `The kingdom of God has

come near to you.’ But whenever you enter a town and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say, `Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off in protest against you. Yet know this: the kingdom of God has come near.’ “Whoever listens to you listens to me, and whoever rejects you rejects me, and whoever rejects me rejects the one who sent me.” The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, in your name even the demons submit to us!” He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

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

I am away today, but you are in the good hands of our Cathedral Pastoral Associates, Frs. Bill Bippus and Edgar Wallace. Take a

moment to thank them for their service today. I will be back with Midday Mass and Evening Prayer this Tuesday (read more about that on page 2).

I trust that you are having a good 4th of July weekend. Call if you have a pastoral concern or emergency. The pastoral care line is always open: 502-632-3213.

As you prepare for worship today, consider these words of Walter Brueggemann:

Our vocation does not lie in being safe, being big, or being secure and in control, but in the nearness of God. People like us—odd, unexpected, empowered can and do make a difference.

Enjoy your holiday—I look forward to seeing you next Sunday

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.

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 August 7 The next Community Breakfast is next Sunday, August 7, 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.

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.

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

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.

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; pcurry@bellarmine.edu]

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; pcurry@bellarmine.edu] will be happy to answer questions and will be there on your first Sunday.

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.

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. Here’s how to register on-line: • Visit www.kroger.com/communityrewards and hit “Create an Account.”.”• Register your Kroger Plus Card number.• Once you are registered, you’ll see a tab that says “Kroger Community Rewards.” Hit the “Enroll” tab.• You will be asked for the company name or number. 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.

The Deadline for submissions to Cathedral Matters is every Thursday at close of business — ten days before you would like it to appear in print.

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!
