First Lesson

Isaiah 49:1-7

Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away!

The Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother’s womb he named me.

He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away.

And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”

But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and my reward with my God.” And now the Lord says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength--

3

he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, “Kings shall see and stand up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 40:1-12 • sung by all

I waited patiently upon the /LORD; * he stooped to me /and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the /mire and clay; * he set my feet upon a high cliff and /made my footing sure.

He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our /God; * many shall see, and stand in awe, and put their /trust in the LORD. Happy are they who trust in the /LORD! * they do not resort to evil spirits /or turn to false gods.

Great things are they that you have done, /O LORD my God! how great your wonders and your plans for us! * there is none who can /be compared with you.

Oh, that I could make them known and /tell them! * but they are more /than I can count.

In sacrifice and offering you take no /pleasure * (you have given me /ears to hear you);

Burnt-offering and sin-offering you have /not required, * and so I said, /“Behold, I come.

4

In the roll of the book it is written /concerning me: * ‘I love to do your will, O my God; your law is /deep in my heart.”’

I proclaimed righteousness in the great /congregation; * behold, I did not restrain my lips; and that,/ O LORD, you know.

Your righteousness have I not hidden in my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your /deliverance;* I have not concealed your love and faithfulness from the great /congregation.

You are the LORD; do not withhold your compassion from /me;* let your love and your faithfulness keep me /safe for ever.

Second Lesson

1 Corinthians 1:1-9

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that

has been given you in Christ Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind-- just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you-- so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Hymn 692

I heard the voice of Jesus say

John 1:29-42

Gospel

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

Glory to you Lord Christ

John saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, `After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.” And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.

I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.” The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, “Look, here The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

is the Lamb of God!” The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated Anointed). He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).

Nicene Creed • BCP 358 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.

We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

For you are the source of light and life, you made us in your image, and called us to new life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

OR

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.

OR

For by water and the Holy Spirit you have made us a new people in Jesus Christ our Lord, to show forth your glory in all the world.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus • S 129

10

We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you.

In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”Therefore, according to his command, O Father, We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with [_________. and] all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.

The Great Amen

Welcome to Christ Church Cathedral!

Whoever you are and wherever you find yourself on life’s journey, we are glad you are with us today.

Come and See

Today, the Second Sunday after Epiphany, we read the story of Jesus calling his first Disciples with the simple invitation “Come and see!” In what ways does Jesus invite us to follow? What have we seen as we have followed and experienced Christ in our lives? What are we looking for as we journey with him and one another as a community of disciples?

Transitions

Here at Christ Church Cathedral, we find ourselves in a time of change, moving from one era of our congregation’s life to the next. Transitions, are times of ending and beginning, often periods of uncertainty and hope, of waiting and change, of recollection and anticipation. Recently, we said farewell to Dean Joan Pritcher who has been with us for the past six years. We are grateful for her leadership and friendship. We shall miss her joyful presence. In February, the Cathedral will welcome our new Dean, The Rev. Matt Bradley. We are grateful for the prayerful and diligent work of the Search Committee and Chapter in bringing about his election. We await with hopeful anticipation and confidence the new directions in which God may take us under Fr. Matt’s leadership. If you have not yet had a chance, take a moment to view Fr. Matt’s video greeting on our website www. christchurchlouky.org In the meantime, our worship and ministries continue. During these next few weeks, let us each reflect on how the Cathedral has been a part of our own spiritual journey, and the role it plays in our larger community. What does this place and this congregation mean to you? What has God been doing here? And how may God be leading each of us to be part of and support the new work that will be beginning here? Let us also pray for Fr. Matt and Hannah as they say their own farewell to the community of St. John’s Church in Murray, Kentucky and prepare for their new beginning here with us.

Welcome Ministry

Have you ever gone to a church for the first time and no one spoke to you as you entered? That is a Greeter’s role of outreach--to make a person feel welcome as they enter a church for the first time. It requires only about 15-20 minutes each time you greet and it is beneficial to the greeter as much as the one greeted. If you would like to help with this important service to the church, please contact the Frazier Marsh or Bobbie Fritton.

A greeting card program for Christ Church Cathedral parish has been developed to recognize special and significant days – birthdays, anniversaries, baptisms, confirmations, weddings, and to reach out to the homebound and to express condolences. Adults with current e-mail addresses will receive e-cards from caring@christchurchlouky. org. When the animated portion ends, wait for your personal message screen to appear. Paper cards will be mailed to our children, youth and to folks without e-mail. Please add caring@ christchurchlouky.org to your e-mail addresses so that your e-cards will reach your inbox. To assure receipt of e-cards, please inform the church office of a new or updated e-mail address (after the 2017 Directory listings). Thank you!

Digital Giving

A campaign has been created for online giving with an option to give for general support. The goal is unlimited, but in the future items can be added with specific goals if needed. Payments are made online through Amazon.com with a credit or debit card. The Cathedral will receive a check each month less a 5% payment processing fee. A report will be emailed monthly as well, listing details of each contribution. Campaigns can be accessed using the Donate link at the top of our website. A link will need to be added for mobile.

Membership in the Episcopal Church

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 become an Episcopalian or to move your membership to the Cathedral, call the parish office, or leave your request with the Dean. The Cathedral will contact your former parish and make the necessary changes. You make the request, and the Cathedral will handle the paperwork.

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!

2020 Candidates for Chapter Election Jerry D. Brown

• Secular stuff.

After twenty-two years’ service with the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet, I retired in 2004 as Revenue District Manager, supervising in two of nine district office locations state-wide performing taxpayer assistance, compliance and audit functions. Currently I am serving as City Clerk of the sixth class City of Norbourne Estates, comprised of 178 residences within the Louisville Metro area. Appointment to two-year terms began ten years ago. My educational experience consists of a Degree in History & Government from Western Kentucky University together with post graduate studies in accounting at Kentucky State University.

• Sacred stuff.

As a cradle Episcopalian baptized (Dean Wicker) and confirmed (Bishops Clingman and Marmion) in the Cathedral, I have been involved at various times in many facets of the parish community. At age ten I became a chorister in the Choir of Men and Boys and am currently in the Cathedral Choir. I have served on Chapter twice, first with Dean Bartlett (c. 1985) then again recently through the transition from Dean Marsh to Dean Bourlakas. I am currently serving on the Finance and Building Committees with previous service on the Music & Worship and Property Committees. While at WKU, Carol and I were married (52 years now) and returned to Louisville and the Cathedral where we continued to work with and support Sunday School and Episcopal Young Churchmen.

Page Curry

Education: A.B., M.A. French; DML French & Spanish, Middlebury College, VT Retired French/Spanish professor at Bellarmine. Public school teacher for 17 years, 11 at Greencastle H.S., IN. I obtained the Doctor of Modern Languages, then accepted the BU position in 1998, commuting home week-ends until Rich retired from DePauw.

Serving as volunteer, then director of Putnam Co. Health Services Clinic opened my eyes to rural poverty. In Louisville, I worked for CLCM for five years. St. George’s Scholar Institute Board], Meals on Wheels and CLOUT team leader & member of two research committees are my current commitments.

St. Andrew’s, Greencastle offered many volunteer opportunities: teaching/ coordinating Sunday School, Eucharistic Minister, gardening, Vestry [secretary], search team for Rector, Senior Warden, Bishop search & Standing Committees.

A member of CCC since 2000, I served on Chapter as Junior Warden under Dean Keith Marsh and the interim. Other roles: choir, lay leader for noon mass, finance committee [secretary], Chalice bearer, gardener, coffee hour coordinator, office worker. With Kentucky Refugee Ministries, I organized Cathedral volunteers to welcome and support three refugee families.

Dean Matthew’s spirituality and interest in outreach gives us all hope!

I’d be honored to help shape CCC’s urban ministry as we celebrate our 200th anniversary.

John L. Kiesel, M.D., a Louisville native, completed his undergraduate degree from the University of Louisville and his medical degree from the University of Kentucky. He performed his pediatrics training at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and Babies’ and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. He served two years in the U.S. Army at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in pediatrics and allergy.

Following this service he was in private pediatric practice in Morehead, Kentucky for five years. He completed the Masters in Health Administration program at Duke University with one academic concentration in finance.

His professional administrative positions included HMOs in Annapolis, Maryland and Lexington, Kentucky. He also held positions in managed care organizations in Louisville (Aetna Healthcare, Passport Healthcare).

John was raised in St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and has attended Christ Church Cathedral since his return to Louisville in 1993. Since his retirement 10 years ago, he has been a member of the Finance Committee, serving as Chair for the last 9 years. He was a member of the Chapter approximately 8 years ago. He also assists in cooking for the Cathedral’s monthly community breakfast.

John is married (golden anniversary last June) and has four children and one granddaughter.

Susan Marquardt

I have been a member of Christ Church Cathedral for the past eleven years. I serve as a lay reader, occasional usher and acolyte. I also serve on the Pastoral Care Committee. I volunteered at the Diocesan Convention this past fall and was a member of the latest Dean’s Search Committee. I have never served on Chapter, but felt that after being a part of the group that nominated Rev. Bradley as our next Dean, it would be nice to support him on Chapter in his first years with us. I majored in Journalism at the University of Missouri, but spent most of my working life in business in Cleveland, OH. I am married to Victor Marquardt, mother of two and grandmother of five. I live and actively volunteer in Old Louisville.

John Werst

Thanks for the opportunity to serve the Cathedral community. I have served as a Chapter member in the early eighties, more recently under Dean Bourlakis and also early in Dean Pritcher’s term.

I have enjoyed participating in choir and related music activities over my lifetime from boyhood beginning in the St Marks’ boys choir and mixed choir. I feel we are privileged to continue to offer music and arts ministry with incredible professional leadership amidst a beautiful acoustic space which we know as our Sanctuary.

Stewardship of our spaces and resources seems to me critical to our ability to sustain our ministries now and in the future. Having dedicated paid and volunteer leadership amongst us to facilitate so much of the day to day operation and use of our buildings enables us to successfully fulfill our mission, and I hope we can provide material and non-tangible support to realize and sustain these efforts.

Since graduating from University and serving in US Navy during the Vietnam conflict i have been involved in managing and working at Plumbers Supply Co here, Look forward to future growth of our Cathedral family as we serve congregation, diocese, and the larger community.

We Pray . . .

Prayer is at the heart of Christian community. We use this space to bring before God and the community the needs of those we love. Please submit prayer requests for yourself and others to the church office: info@christchurchlouky.org.

We will include those names here so that the community may join you in prayer.
