The Word of God Collect for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

First Lesson

2 Samuel 18:5-9, 15, 31-33

The king, David, ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king gave orders to all the commanders concerning Absalom. So the army went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was fought in the forest of Ephraim. The men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the slaughter there was great on that day, twenty thousand men. The battle spread over the face of all the country; and the forest claimed more victims that day than the sword. Absalom happened to meet the servants of David.

Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. His head caught fast in the oak, and he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the

mule that was under him went on.

And ten young men, Joab’s armorbearers, surrounded Absalom and struck him, and killed him.

Then the Cushite came; and the Cushite said, “Good tidings for my lord the king! For the LORD has vindicated you this day, delivering you from the power of all who rose up against you.” The king said to the Cushite, “Is it well with the young man Absalom?” The Cushite answered, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up to do you harm, be like that young man.”

The king was deeply moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, he said, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Psalm 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

130 • spoken

Out of the depths have I called to you, O LORD; LORD, hear my voice; * let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.

If you, LORD, were to note what is done amiss, * O Lord, who could stand?

For there is forgiveness with you; * therefore you shall be feared.

I wait for the LORD; my soul waits for him; * in his word is my hope.

My soul waits for the LORD, more than watchmen for the morning, * more than watchmen for the morning.

O Israel, wait for the LORD, * for with the LORD there is mercy;

With him there is plenteous redemption, * and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.

Ephesians 4:25-5:2

Second Lesson

Putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not make room for the devil. Thieves must give up stealing; rather let them labor and work honestly with their own hands, so as to have something to share with the needy. Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were marked with a seal for the day of redemption.

Put away from you all bitterness and wrath and anger and wrangling and slander, together with all malice, and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacriďŹ ce to God.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God. Alleluia Verse

Gospel

John 6:35, 41-51

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

Glory to you Lord Christ

`And they shall all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

Jesus said to the people, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

They were saying, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, `I have come down from heaven’?”

Jesus answered them, “Do not complain among yourselves. No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. It is written in the prophets, The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

Prayer after Communion 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. 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.

from the Dean . . . . .

My dear people of Christ Church Cathedral and our guests, I’m glad to be back with you today. And I’m so happy to hear our preacher, the Rev’d Fr. John Allen, a member of our Chapter. Join me in welcoming him.

Last year, we spoke about the possibility of shifting the time of our second Sunday worship—from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.. I thank you for your well-reasoned answers to the question: should we move the time or not? I thank you for you patience this year as I considered the needs of everyone involved.

At the time, I elected to stay with the existing times. But this fall, we will make the change.

Beginning Sunday, September 13, the Sunday schedule will be: 8:30 9:30 9:45 10:30 11:45

Rite I in the Chapel Adult Sunday School Children’s Sunday School Rite II in the Nave Dean’s Forum

Help me to get this word out and let me know if you have questions or comments. What you think is important to me.

As you prepare for worship, consider Dorothy Day’s words concerning the importance of community and the grace that it demands: We cannot love God unless we love each other. We know God in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone any more. Heaven is a banquet, and life is too—even a crust—as long as there is companionship. We have all known loneliness.

We have learned that the only solution is love. And love comes with community.

I am glad that you are here today.

Faithfully, The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim The Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost

Enriching Our Worship continues throughout the summer

Enriching 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.

we study Weekday Bible Study

Every Tuesday, 5:15 p.m. in Bishops’ Hall

Liaison for Children, Youth and Families

Canon Bozeman is adding a new title to his name: Liaison for Children, Youth and Families. You will see it beginning today in the masthead on the last page of the bulletin. As a husband and father himself, Canon Robert has been part of the ongoing conversation about families, children and youth. He knows the cathedral’s responsibility to our families. Take some time to thank Canon Robert for helping the Cathedral community grow stronger as he takes on these new responsibilities.

Sunday Bible Study

Every Sunday, 9 a.m. in the library Tom Peters leads a group in reading and studying through the Bible. The group has worked its way to the Gospel of Luke. You are invited to join the group at any time.

The EfM group at St. Andrews Episcopal Church is now recruiting for classes to begin this fall. If you are interested in joining the EfM group at St. Andrews, or if you would like to be a part of an EfM group at the Cathedral, contact Dean Pritcher, 632-3213, or e-mail dean@christchurchlouky.org.

A Sneak Peek at Sunday School

On August 16, roles will be reversed: children will bring parents to their classroom to get a “Sneak Peek at Sunday School.” Once parents are settled in, children will go with Canon Bozeman and Sue Radeker for their own adventure. Parents (and anyone else who would like to attend) will see what their children will experience on Sunday mornings beginning on Homecoming Sunday, September 13.

Children’s Sunday School

Children’s Sunday School is on summer break.

Contact Randy Peters for more information.

Rebuild the Churches Fund

In June, we were shocked by the torching of four predominantly black churches. You can help them recover by contributing to Rebuild the Churches Fund, a special fundraising effort 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, S.C.; College Hill Seventh Day Adventist Church, Knoxville, Tenn.; Briar Creek Baptist Church, Charlotte, N.C.; God’s Power Church of Christ, Macon, Ga. If you would like to contribute, write your check to Christ Church Cathedral, memo “Rebuild.” We’ll pass along your gifts as long as they come to us.

Laundry Love

Laundry Love is a practical and graceful ministry the Cathedral is joining along with other downtown parishes. Laundry Love seeks to give individuals and/or families the option of redirecting funds from laundry expenses toward food, medical, gas or transportation costs, as well as school supplies and other basic, everyday necessities. Mike DaRif is taking the lead for the Cathedral in Laundry Love. Let him or the office know if you would like to be involved.

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.

You can help by contributing to the Dean’s Discretionary Fund, and by putting coins and bills in the DEO Piggy Bank.

Stewardship Notes We are blessed and we can BE a blessing The Cathedral has received 88 pledges, totaling $300,600. That represents: • 33 increased pledges • 14 new pledges • 33 pledges with no change • 8 pledges with decreases

The goal remains 100 percent participation.

If you have not registered your intention to give to God through Christ Church Cathedral, there’s still time. No amount is too large and no amount is too small. They all make a difference. If you have questions, this handy Q and A might help: How do I get a Pledge Card?

There are Pledge Cards in the Narthex, at the south door, and at the office table. Just ask if you can’t find one.

How can I submit a Pledge Card?

You may mail in your Pledge Card, place it in the offering basin as it is passed any Sunday morning, or you may give it to a member of the Chapter, the Finance Committee, or to the Dean.

How can I help even more?

You can continue to pray with us.

Try these words:

God of infinite blessing, when you fashioned the world the morning stars sang together and the host of heaven shouted for joy; open our eyes to the wonders of your creation and teach us to use all things for good, that we may be blessed and be a blessing so that all may live in your abundance; through Jesus Christ our Lord. 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!
