Alleluia! refrainChrist being raised from the dead will never die again;death no longer has dominion over Him.The death that He died, He died to sin, once for all;but the life He lives, He lives to God.So also consider yourselves dead to sin,and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Then Peter began to speak to them: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ--he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses to all that he did both

First Lesson Acts 10:34-43in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Collect for the Feast of the Resurrection

The Word of God

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 • sung by the choir Daniel Pinkham

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; * his mercy endures for ever.Let Israel now proclaim, * “His mercy endures for ever.”The LORD is my strength and my song, * and he has become my salvation.There is a sound of exultation and victory * in the tents of the righteous: refrain“The right hand of the LORD has triumphed! * the right hand of the LORD is exalted! the right hand of the LORD has triumphed!”I shall not die, but live, *

O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you--unless you have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then

Second Lesson 1 Corinthians 15:1-11he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them--though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.

and declare the works of the LORD.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. refrain“This is the gate of the LORD; * he who is righteous 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 marvelous in our eyes. refrainOn this day the LORD has acted; * we will rejoice and be glad in it.

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

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

Gospel John 20:1-18

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went toward the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples returned to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the

tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

Renewal of Baptismal VowsDo you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?

I do.

Do you believe in God the Father? I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking ofbread, and in the prayers?

I will, with God’s help.Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repentand return to the Lord? I will, with God’s help.Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? I will, with God’s help.Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? I will, with God’s help.Will you strive for justice and peace among all people,and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help.

Prayers of the People Intercessions for the Christian People

Alleluia! What was dead shall live; what was dark shall shine; what was forgotten shall be remembered, for the Lord is risen and walks among us. Let us confidently bring before God the needs of all our world, asking God for renewal, saying: Christ is risen, Christ is risen indeed.God of life, in gratitude and great joy we laud you for the gifts of Christ’s resurrection. On this day give us hope, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed. On this feast day which brings joy to all Christian believers, may we commit ourselves to work toward the unity of the church, that Christ’s body may be one, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed. Honoring the gift of Christ’s risen body, may we rise to serve all those whose needs keep them from seeing themselves as the image of God; for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed. For all who have need of the gift of Easter; for all who journey from illness to health, from despair to hope, from grief to consolation, from loneliness to love for all our brothers and sisters, that death may have no more power over us, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed. For all who suffer and all who mourn, that today the Lord God will wipe away all tears, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed.For Michael, our Presiding Bishop, Terry, our Bishop, and for all priests, deacons, and ministers who serve in this place, that our community of faith may become a faithful community, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed. May we have the persistent faith of Mary Magdelene and the surprised belief of Peter and John. May we long to be God’s sign of life in our world, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed. May we be one in faith with all who have died in Christ, for our life is hid with Christ in God; for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed.We pray for those on our Cathedral prayer list: Carol Brown, Ginny Dozier, Michael Foster, Carol Kendall, Susan & Stuart McCloy, Helen Murray and Sue Radeker and we give thanks for the birthdays of Rich Curry and Mitzi Friedlander. We now offer our own prayers of intercession and thanksgiving either silently or aloud.

We ask this in confidence, for Christ is risen: Christ is risen indeed.God of life, we thank you for the mystery planted in us, the paradox of life from death and community from scattered disciples. We praise you for the dying which saves us from death and for the rising which brings us life. We pray, as we live, through Jesus the risen one, in the power of the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

I am so happy that you are with us today—the first of fifty in this season of Easter. There is plenty of time to live out the hope of this day. Join us as we do that—

• at prayer: in addition to Sunday services, we have midday Eucharist Monday – Friday at Noon in the Chapel. Read more about that on page 2.

• at study: in addition to Sunday School and Dean’s Forum, we meet for Bible Study Tuesday, morning and evening. Read more about that on page 3.

• at work: in addition to our monthly Community Breakfast and ongoing DEO (Downtown Episcopal Outreach), you might be interested in Laundry Love. Read more on page 3.

Join me in thanking all who made Holy Week and this day possible. To the: Choristers and Musicians; the Altar Guild, Acolytes, Lectors, Ushers and all Eucharistic Ministers; Cathedral Life Volunteers, including the Flowering the Cross team; Bishop and Diocesan Staff and Cathedral Office Staff; and all of you who worshiped with us.

And, now, as you prepare for worship, contemplate these words of former Presiding Bishop, Frank Griswold:

Easter is not simply a recurring feast day in the Christian Calendar: it is the shattering of the known in order to make way for what is real. And the reality it proclaims is that everything that restricts, diminishes, imprisons and limits life as God intends it is trampled down by the risen Christ. Christ’s victory is therefore a challenge to everything within us and within the church and our world that resists Christ’s all-embracing freedom.

Faithfully,

The Very Reverend Joan Pritcher Your Dean in the Interim On this Feast of the Resurrection: Easter Day

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.

Syrian Family UpdateAs we pray for refugees worldwide in these unsettling times, we pray also the Syrian family that our own Christ Church Cathedral Refugee Team helped to resettle in Louisville in late October. Page Curry and her team worked with Kentucky Refugee Ministry to welcome a Syrian family of 2 parents, 3 sons (aged 21, 19 and 7) and a daughter (aged 14). The initial work of finding an apartment, then cleaning and furnishing it with furniture and food has been completed. The on-going goal is to help them to become more independent and self-sustaining. Pray for their progress and give thanks for their safety.

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 discipleship

VISION 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?

CCC Parking UpdateParking has been arranged for Sunday mornings only at the Transamerica Parking Lot adjacent to Cathedral Commons, at the corner of 2nd and Muhammad Ali. This is only for Sunday mornings. (You will be towed if you park there at other times during the week.) Parking is also available free of charge on Sunday mornings at the YMCA Garage on 2nd St. We are currently working on other options. Stay tuned.

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.

Office HoursThe Cathedral Office hours are Tuesday – Friday, 10:00 am – 1:00 pm. If you have a pastoral care need and cannot get through, the pastoral care line is always open. The number is: 502-632-3213.

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.

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!
