When the temple police had brought the apostles, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them, saying, “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you are determined to bring this man’s blood on us.” But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God

First Lesson Acts 5:27-32

rather than any human authority. The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior that he might give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.”

The LORD has punished me sorely, * but he did not hand me /over to death.Open for me the gates of righteousness; * I will enter them; I will offer /thanks to the LORD.“This is the gate of the LORD; * he who is right/eous may enter.”I will give thanks to you, for you answered me * and have become /my salvation.The same stone which the builders rejected * has become /the chief cornerstone.This is the LORD’S doing, * and it is mar/velous in our eyes.On this day the LORD has acted; * we will rejoice /and be glad in it.

We declare to you what was from the John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

He is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail. So it is to be.

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

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

Gospel John 20:19-31

When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the

nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these are written so that you may come to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.

Communion Hymn 209 We walk by faith

The Breaking of the BreadFraction Anthem WLP-866

• any baptized person from any Christian tradition who wishes to encounter the Real Presence of the Risen Christ in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood is welcome to receive Holy Communion. If you wish to learn more about the Sacrament of Holy Baptism, please speak with a priest or deacon following the liturgy.• gluten free wafers are available; as you prepare to receive bread indicate your preference to the priest• if you would like to receive a blessing instead of Communion, please indicate this by crossing your arms over your chest

• families of choir members may receive the sacrament together at the beginning of the distribution of communion. You may simply join your family member in the line, receive, then return to your seat. Children of choristers may return to their seat or join their family for the remainder of the service in the chancel.

Prayer after CommunionAlmighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiri-tual 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 mem-bers 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. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

The worship is concluded. The SERVICE begins!

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

Many thanks to the Rev’d Fr William Bippus and the Rev’d Fr Edgar Wallace for their service this morning. You will want to

give them your own word of appreciation after the service. I am away today but return this week and will be with you on Sunday.

Midday Mass returns tomorrow—Evening Prayer is still on break for this week; it returns on Monday, April 11.

Make plans to be part of 2 events on Sunday, April 17:

• Following 10:30 worship, our second annual Cathedral Endowment Conversation, with returning special guest, Carter Ruml.

• Beginning at 3:00, ‘Hold Your Hats’ Fundraiser for Central Louisville Community Ministry (formerly known as Help Ministry), featuring local artist Robbie Bartlett. Read more about this on today’s hand-outs and secure a ticket from Dorothy Converse.

As you prepare today to worship, consider the position of Thomas, who gets a lot of attention in our Gospel passage. Thomas has sometimes gotten a bad reputation for doubting, but is that fair? Consider these words of Miguel Unamuno, and give it a second thought:

Those who believe they believe in God, but without passion in the heart, without anguish of mind, without uncertainty, without doubt, and even at times without despair, believe only in the idea of God and not in God himself.

I am glad that you are here today.

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Second 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 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 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Plan to be part of the team. 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.

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!
