WELCOME to Worship!
Cathedral of Hope is a vibrant, inclusive, progressive (VIP) congregation of
the United Church of Christ. Your presence here is a blessing to us, and we
hope you will return often. Cathedral of
Hope began in 1970 with a circle of 12
friends, and has since grown into the
world’s largest progressive Christian
church with a primary outreach to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and
queer/questioning people.
•The VISION of Cathedral of Hope is to
be a community of hope proclaiming
God’s inclusive love, removing
barriers to faith and empowering
all people to grow in grace toward
wholeness.
•The MISSION of Cathedral of Hope is
to reclaim Christianity as a faith of
Extravagant Grace, Radical Inclusion
and Relentless Compassion.
Notes for Newcomers
Restrooms are located near the
double glass doors behind the
Sanctuary. Private rest rooms are
available off the hall to the right of
the Hall of Heroes area. For more
information about the church, please
come to the Ministry & Visitor’s
Center located next to Sources of
Hope bookstore.
Our worship services are recorded
for broadcast around the world. We
make every effort to respect your
privacy. However, if you would like
to ensure that you are not seen
on screen, please sit in one of the
last five rows of pews in the center
section.

W
hile I am not with you today, please know that I am
thinking of you and will be watching services later on
today. One of the blessings that we have here at Cathedral of
Hope UCC is that, wherever we are in the world, we can be
connected through the power of technology. I am grateful to
every person who helps make this ministry available through
their offering of service.
I hope that you are enjoying this sermon series. I know that many
of the radical sayings of Jesus have been quite challenging as we
think about their application in
our lives. I have heard many
of you say that this series
in particular has helped in
deepening the experience,
and relational understanding,
of how the Christian faith
changes our lives.
Today is no exception in this
understanding, as we explore
yet another of these “radical
teachings”, “Love Your
Enemies”.
Perhaps one of the most
difficult things to do is to love
those who we might consider our enemy: those who have hurt
us, behaved badly toward us or maybe even condemned us. Yet
Jesus teaches us to look beyond our humanity and to touch the
divine that lives within each and every one of us.
These experiences help us to deepen our association with the
Spirit, and lead us toward being more Christ-like.
As I have said each week, the way of Jesus is not easy, but it
is life changing. Once again we come together to reclaim our
faith and to reaffirm our call as Cathedral of Hope, a place of
extravagant grace | radical inclusion | relentless compassion.
Be blessed as we worship today and know that God is with us.
Sincerely, in Christ
The Reverend Dr. Neil G. Cazares-Thomas,
Senior Pastor
and assisted listening
systems are available in the
bookstore.
In consideration of those
seated around you,
PLEASE, No Flash Photography
during the service.
PLEASE, Silence Your Cell Phone!
Thank you.
Good Morning, Cathedral of Hope!

LITURGY OF THE WORD
MODERN LESSON
ANTHEM
Love Is by Rich Thomas based on 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
I Dream a World
Words by Langston Hughes (1902-1967), adapted; Music by André J. Thomas
Candace Thompson
Worship Note on p. 3
Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra
Of such I dream, of such I dream.
I dream a world where one will not another scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn.
I dream a world where all will know sweet freedom’s way, where greed no longer saps the soul nor avarice blights our day.
A world I dream where black or white, whatever race you be, will share the bounties of the earth and everyone is free!
Of such I dream, of such I dream.
Where wretchedness will hang its head, and joy, like a pearl, attends the needs of all humankind—
of such I dream, of such I dream.
I dream a world.

When You Speak to Me
Choir: When you speak to me, when I take the time to listen, there is peace to cover any pain.
When you speak to me, when you place your word inside me, I am filled and I am strong again.
There is an answer to every question; the answer is you.

Rev. Dr. Andre Vlok
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
Come, Holy Spirit.
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
Glory to you, O God.
Jesus continued, “But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless
those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other
also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone
who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as
you would have them do to you. If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even
sinners love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to
you? For even sinners do the same. If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is
that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love your enemies, do good,
and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most
High, since God is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as your loving God is
merciful.”

This is the Gospel of Hope.
Praise to you, Creator, Christ and Holy Spirit.

The Radical Sayings of Jesus
“Love Your Enemies”
Rev. Todd Scoggins
I Dream a World (on page 2)
“I dream a world where one will not another scorn, where love will bless the earth and peace its paths adorn…” The introspective and contemplative lyrics
of the great African-American poet, Langston Hughes, grace this marvelously expressive Anthem. James Mercer Langston Hughes (February 1, 1902 – May
22, 1967) was an American poet, social activist, novelist, playwright, and columnist. He was one of the earliest innovators of the then-new literary art
form called jazz poetry. Hughes is best known as a leader of the Harlem Renaissance. He famously wrote about the period that “the negro was in vogue”,
which was later paraphrased as “when Harlem was in vogue”. The gripping choral setting is by André J. Thomas, Director of Choral Activities and Professor of Choral Music Education at Florida State University. It was commissioned
by the North Carolina Summer Institute in Choral Art, and dedicated to the
3
victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE ELEMENTS
TO OUR GUESTS
Cathedral of Hope celebrates an open communion. We understand the sharing of the bread and the cup in Jesus’ name
to be a representation of an ancient vision of God’s feast for all peoples. We don’t require you to be a member of this
church, or any church, to participate with us in this feast of grace. Simply come forward at the ushers’ direction. After
dipping a wafer in the cup, the minister will place it on your tongue and offer a brief blessing. If you prefer to serve
yourself, cup your hands in front of you as you come to receive communion.
Gluten-free Wafers are available from the silver intinction set at the center point. Please indicate your need to the
ushers on the center aisle and they will direct you to the appropriate position. We ask that you serve yourself—take a
wafer and dip it in the juice—in order to avoid cross-contamination by the server.
We Can Be Kind
From We Can Be Kind to Listen to My Heart, Help is on the Way, Trust The Wind, and I’ll Be Here With You, David Friedman writes songs of inspiration,
love, and hope that take on new emotional meaning in these challenging times. David’s songs have been sung and recorded by luminaries such as Diana
Ross, Barry Manilow, Petula Clark, Laura Branigan, Jason Alexander, Laurie Beechman, Lainie Kazan, Leslie Uggams and the late, great Nancy LaMott. Our
Offertory this morning, We Can Be Kind, was recorded by Nancy LaMott in 1995, six months before her tragic early death. The song’s simple but poignant
4
lyrics—“We can be kind. We can take care of each other. We can remember
that deep down inside we all need the same thing.”—share a message our
world desperately needs to hear.

MUSIC DURING COMMUNION
Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life
Come, my way, my truth, my life: Such a way as gives us breath,
Such a truth as ends all strife, Such a life as conquers death.
Come, my light my feast, my strength: Such a light as shows a feast,
Such a feast as mends in length, Such a strength as makes its guest.
Come, my joy, my love, my heart: Such a joy as none can know,
Such a love as none can part, Such a heart as joys in love.
Words: George Herbert, 1633, adapted; Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams, 1922

Breathe
This is the air I breathe, this is the air I breathe,
Your holy presence living in me.
This is my daily bread, this is my daily bread,
Your very word spoken to me.
And I, I’m desperate for you. And I, I’m lost without you.
This is the air I breathe, this is the air I breathe.
In Your Presence
In your presence there is comfort,
in your presence there is peace.
When we seek to know your heart
we will find such blessed assurance,
in your holy presence, Lord.
TO OUR GUESTS
It has become a tradition
at the Cathedral of Hope
to rise as we end our
time of communion (as
indicated by **), join
hands as an expression
of our unity in Christ,
and lift them up in glory
to God.
We invite you to join as
you are able, in body or
spirit.

Praying with Mary Oliver
Book Store Clerks
THIS Wednesday, July 13, IPC Lower Level, 6 p.m.
Join This Incredible Group of Volunteers!
One of America’s most beloved and most accessible writers, Mary Oliver likes
to think of herself as a “praise poet.” And indeed she is—with her attentive,
respectful gaze on creatures great and small and her celebration of and gratitude
for the natural world. One theme threaded through her works is prayer. In both
serious and playful ways, she explores what it is, what it’s not. If you’d like to
refresh your prayer life, come join with other sisters and brothers for a fourweek encounter with the sacred in Oliver’s poetry, reflecting together, using her
texts in the practice of lectio divina (divine reading), and creating prayer-poems
modeled on her work.
Sources needs one sales clerk Sundays after the 11:00 service and
Wednesday evenings before and after the 7:15 service. Sunday clerks
help about 45 minutes and are scheduled once or twice a month. Clerks
on Wednesday help usually once a month for about an hour and a half. No
retail experience is required for either shift; we’ll train you.

Hospitality Ministry Expanding
Sign Up Today!
Use your gift of hospitality in the Hospitality Ministry as we welcome our
guests, regular visitors and members before worship, during the time of refreshment following the 9, 11 and 1 o’clock services on Sunday, and also for certain
church events.
Sunday Hospitality team members prepare coffee, tea and water and set out the
refreshments prior to the end of each service. Team members will be scheduled
so that no one has to serve every Sunday or every service. Ministry responsibilities will vary for church events based on need.

Today in Children’s Church
e will be discussing what it means to “Love Your Enemies.” First we
will think about what an enemy is and who we might consider to be our
enemies. We’ll talk about the times when someone does something that makes
us angry or even does harm to us, why is it hard to think about showing that person love? The last sentence in the Bible reading today is known as the Golden
Rule. All of the major religions of the world teach this rule. We will dream
about what we think would happen to the world if everyone who teaches the
Golden Rule, actually followed it.
Feminism, Gender and Our Faith
Wednesdays, IPC Sanctuary, 6-7 p.m.
This summer, we’ll be taking a look at feminism and our faith in a series of
classes facilitated by Dr. Susan Perry. While these classes center around feminist issues, they are open to anyone who wishes to attend.
July 13—A feminist look at the Old Testament. Who are notable women in
the Old Testament? Did any women have power?
July 20-—A feminist view of the New Testament. How do women figure into
the New Testament? What roles do they play?
July 27—Gender speak. Is there a gender difference in communication? How
do men and women communicate with each other?
For your convenience there will be team gatherings NEXT Sunday, July 17
at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. (attendance is required for only one meeting)
in the upper level of the IPC to welcome and provide orientation for new team
members and to share ideas on how to help the ministry excel in the future.
If you are interested in becoming part of the team, stop by our signup table in the
Narthex follow services today, or print the Keyword: HOSPITALITY in the
comments section of the registration pad. Contact lay leader John McFarland at
[email protected] with any questions you may have.

Moving Forward
The Walk
Recently, the 1 p.m. worship planning leadership team got together to begin
plans for the future. With the help of our Senior Pastor, Reverend Neil G.
Cazares-Thomas, this team is ready to move forward and keep the 1 p.m.
Spanish worship service as a Vibrant, Inclusive and Progressive part of our
church.
According to the leadership team, Bible studies and social activities are part of
the plan, and they are so excited to have the opportunity to work together as one
church with no language barriers. This is what a church is, a home to welcoming all with Extravagant Grace, Radical Inclusion and Relentless Compassion.
