The Word of God

O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and earth: Put away from us, we entreat you, all hurtful things, and give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Ahab sent to all the Israelites, and assembled the prophets at Mount Carmel. Elijah then came near to all the people, and said, “How long will you go limping with two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people did not answer him a word. Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come closer to me”; and all the people came closer to him. First he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been thrown down; Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord came, saying, “Israel shall be your name”; with the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord. Then he made a trench around the altar, large enough to contain two measures of seed. Next he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.” Then he said,

First Lesson 1 Kings 18:20-21,30-39

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

“Do it a second time”; and they did it a second time. Again he said, “Do it a third time”; and they did it a third time, so that the water ran all around the altar, and filled the trench also with water. At the time of the offering of the oblation, the prophet Elijah came near and said, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your bidding. Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.” Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and even licked up the water that was in the trench. When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord indeed is God; the Lord indeed is God.”

• at the conclusion of the collect all sing:

Collect of the Holy Eucharist God our Father, whose Son our Lord Jesus Christ in a wonderful Sacrament has left us a memorial of his passion: Grant us so to venerate the sacred mysteries of his Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of his redemption; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Sing to the Lord a new song; * sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; * proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.Declare his glory among the nations * and his wonders among all peoples.For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods.As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; * but it is the Lord who made the heavens.Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! * Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; * ascribe to the Lord honor and power.Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; * bring offerings and come into his courts.Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth tremble before him.Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! * he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;let the sea thunder and all that is in it; * let the field be joyful and all that is therein.Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the Lord when he comes, * when he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world with righteousness * and the peoples with his truth.

Alleluia Verse • sung by cantor, then all

Paul an apostle-- sent neither by human commission nor from human authorities, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead-- and all the members of God’s family who are with me, To the churches of Galatia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-- not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are confusing you and want

Second Lesson Galatians 1:1-12to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should proclaim to you a gospel contrary to what we proclaimed to you, let that one be accursed! As we have said before, so now I repeat, if anyone proclaims to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let that one be accursed! Am I now seeking human approval, or God’s approval? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still pleasing people, I would not be a servant of Christ. For I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel that was proclaimed by me is not of human origin; for I did not receive it from a human source, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Gospel Luke 7:1-10

After Jesus had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. A centurion there had a slave whom he valued highly, and who was ill and close to death. When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his slave. When they came to Jesus, they appealed to him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy of having you do this for him, for he loves our people, and it is he who built our synagogue for us.” And Jesus went with them, but when he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to say to him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy

to have you come under my roof; therefore I did not presume to come to you. But only speak the word, and let my servant be healed. For I also am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to one, `Go,’ and he goes, and to another, `Come,’ and he comes, and to my slave, `Do this,’ and the slave does it.” When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, he said, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” When those who had been sent returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.

Invitation to Holy Communion From the United Church of Christ

Come to this sacred table not because you must, but because you may.

Come not because you are fulfilled, but because in your emptiness you stand in need

of God’s mercy and assurance.

Come not to express an opinion, but to seek a presence and to pray for a spirit.

Come to this table, then, sisters and brothers, as you are. Partake and share.

It is spread for you and me that we might again known that God has come to us,

shared our common lot, and invited us to join the people of God’s new age.

I am away, but you will be pleased to know that your Pastoral Associate, Fr. Bill Bippus, is here presiding and preaching. Take a moment to make him feel welcome.

Note that Midday Mass and Evening Prayer are on break through tomorrow for the Memorial Day holiday, but they return the very next day, Tuesday, May 31. You can read the commemorations for Midday Mass on page 2. And remember that the pastoral care line is always open—call if you have a pastoral care need or emergency: 502-632-3213.

As you prepare for worship on this second Sunday after Pentecost—the feast of Corpus Christi—consider this Invitation to Holy Communion offered by the United Church of Christ:

Come to this sacred table not because you must, but because you may. Come not because you are fulfilled, but because in your emptiness you stand in need of God’s mercy and assurance. Come not to express an opinion, but to seek a presence and to pray for a spirit. Come to this table, then, sisters and brothers, as you are. Partake and share. It is spread for you and me that we might again known that God has come to us, shared our common lot, and invited us to join the people of God’s new age.

Enjoy this day.

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..

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; 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—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 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.

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!
