Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So may the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow.” Then he was afraid; he got up and fled for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah; he left his servant there. But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: “It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.”He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God. At that place he came to a cave, and spent the night there. Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

First Lesson 1 Kings 19:1-4, 8-15a

He answered, “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.” He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but theLORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, “What are you

The Word of God

Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name, for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the sure foundation of your loving¬kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many

Second Lesson Galatians 3:23-29of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.

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

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

Gospel Luke 8:26-39

Jesus and his disciples arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at the top of his voice, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me” -- for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. (For many times it had seized him; he was kept under guard and bound with chains and shackles, but he would break the bonds and be driven by the demon into the wilds.) Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him. They begged him not to order them to go back into the abyss. Now there on the hillside a large herd of swine was feeding; and the demons begged Jesus to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the demons came

out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. When the swineherds saw what had happened, they ran off and told it in the city and in the country. Then people came out to see what had happened, and when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind. And they were afraid. Those who had seen it told them how the one who had been possessed by demons had been healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them; for they were seized with great fear. So he got into the boat and returned. The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with him; but Jesus sent him away, saying, “Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the city how much Jesus had done for him.

Father, we pray for your holy Catholic Church; That we all may be one. We pray for the Anglican Church of Mexico and the people and clergy of St. John’s Church, Murray. Grant that every member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you. That your Name may be glorified by all people. We pray for Michael, our Presiding Bishop, Terry, our bishop, and for all bishops, priests, and deacons; That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments. We pray for President Obama, Governor Pence and Governor Bevin, and the mayors and coucnils of our several cities and for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world; That there may be justice and peace on the earth. Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake; That our works may find favor in your sight. Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble; That they may be delivered from their distress. Give to the departed eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy; May we also come to share in your heavenly kingdom. We pray for those on our Cathedral Prayer List, especially Ginny Dozier, Mike Foster, Vance Fritton, Carol Kendall, Susan & Stuart McCloy, Helen Murray, Larry Otto, George and Jo Ann Reazin and Carolyn van Zant. Are there other prayers of intercession?We give thanks for all the blessings bestowed upon us. We give thanks for the birthdays of Jerry Brown, Ruth Wukasch. The flowers at the altar are given in honor of Breckinridge Beard Peabody and in memory of Sarah Kelly Beard by their parents, Rob and Barbara Beard.We give thanks for your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth. Today we are especially grateful for our cathedral choir who have served us well.We give thanks all who have nurtured, upheld and protected us. Today we are particularly grateful for our fathers. Give them strength, patience, and joy in this loving vocation. Are there other prayers of thanksgiving?

Prayers of the People • Form III

Today, we give thanks for the men—and women—who have fathered us. Set aside time today to share with them or to remember what they have done for you. Take a moment also

to express your appreciation to our choristers. They lead us in singing of hymns and service music every Sunday, and we will miss their leadership over this brief summer break. Note the special thanksgivings in today’s Prayers of the People for our fathers and our choristers. We are struggling this week with the horror of violence in many forms. The mass shooting in Orlando is the latest of many such events. This following prayer is adapted from the Litany in the Liturgy for the Tragedy in Orlando, by the Rev. LeeAnne Watkins, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, St Paul, Minnesota. I hope that it will be a consolation to you, your family and friends.

God of peace and comfort, we come before you seeking courage and hope as your people: We pray for your church, that our voice may be strong and clear, as we strive to bring an end to gun violence and hatred. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.We pray for first responders, for police and EMTs, for health care workers and all who sacrifice much to serve the common good. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.We pray for our Muslim brothers and sisters, that in this time of tension and unrest we remember that we are all beloved children of God. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.We pray for those who inspire hatred, for those governed by fear, and for all considering acts of violence toward others that their hearts may be changed. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.We pray for all who are afraid, and all who mourn. We pray for those throughout history who have suffered violence and death because of their sexual orientation or expression. We remember especially those who were killed in Orlando. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayer.O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Life is fragile. That seems more clear to us these days. Call if you would like to talk about that or if you have any pastoral care or emergency. The pastoral care line is always open: 502-632-3213.I’m grateful you are with us today.Faithfully,The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Fifth Sunday after Pentecost

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 July 3 The next Community Breakfast is next Sunday, July 3, 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.

Laundry Love—a Diocesan Urban Ministry InitiativeLaundry Love provides assistance to individuals and families that do not have washers/driers or cannot afford to add expensive laundry costs to their budget. Laundry Love happens every 2nd Thursday, 5:30-8 p.m. at Aunt Bee’s Laundromat, 2nd and Ormsby. Next Laundry Love event is Thursday, July 14. We are also helping to fund Laundry Love through your contributions to DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach).

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.

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.

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.

Greetings!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 2014 Directory listings). Thank you!

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.

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!
