SCRIPTUREs
7:30 a.m.
jeremiah 1:4–10 (RSV)
4
Now the word of the LORD came to me
saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you, and before you were born I conse-
crated you; I appointed you a prophet to the
nations.” 6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD!
Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am
only a youth.” 7 But the LORD said to me,
“Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to
whom I send you you shall go, and whatever I
command you you shall speak. 8 Be not afraid of
them, for I am with you to deliver you, says the
LORD.” 9 Then the LORD put forth his hand
and touched my mouth; and the LORD said to
me, “Behold, I have put my words in your
mouth. 10 See, I have set you this day over
nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to
break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to
build and to plant.”
11:00 a.m.
exodus 14:10–15 (NRSV)
10
As Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked back,
and there were the Egyptians advancing on them.
In great fear the Israelites cried out to the Lord.
11
They said to Moses, “Was it because there were
no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away
to die in the wilderness? What have you done to
us, bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the
very thing we told you in Egypt, “Let us alone
and let us serve the Egyptians’? For it would have
been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to
die in the wilderness.” 13 But Moses said to the
 UNIS ON
SCRIPTUREs
people, “Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the
deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you
today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you
shall never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for
you, and you have only to keep still.” 15 Then the
Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry out to me?
Tell the Israelites to go forward.”
6:00 p.m.
GALATIANS 4:31 – 5:6 (NRSV)
31
So then, friends, we are children, not of the
slave but of the free woman.
1
For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm,
therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke
of slavery. 2 Listen! I, Paul, am telling you that
if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will
be of no benefit to you. 3 Once again I testify
to every man who lets himself be circumcised
that he is obliged to obey the entire law. 4 You
who want to be justified by the law have cut
yourselves off from Christ; you have fallen away
from grace. 5 For through the Spirit, by faith,
we eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness.
6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor
uncircumcision counts for anything; the only
thing that counts is faith working through love.

Lenten
meditation #4
LENTEN HOPE
PERILS AND PROMISES
“THE OPPOSITE OF HOPE – DESPAIR”
I
f we truly “hope,” we expect that we will
receive what we are hoping for. The opposite
of “hope” is despair, a feeling that we will not
receive what we need. During our lives, we often
have times when we question whether success will
come. We have doubts, but, as Alexander Pope
said, “Hope springs eternal in the human heart.”
(An Essay on Man, Epistle 1, 1733).
In times when we have lost hope, our only fallback
may be to try to find the strength to begin again.
Despair comes when even this seems lacking. What
do we do in times when we are barely able to put one
foot in front of another and keep moving? The spirit
of Lent can help with this, because Lent, itself, begins
with barrenness. Just as in winter, we long for the
warmth and brightness of sunny days, so our spirits
may feel cold and dark. But seasons progress and we,
too, need to keep moving.
In trying to do this, faith tells us that we can depend
on God, but often even God seems distant. At such
times, we need to remind ourselves that we are neither
forsaken nor rejected. Just as Jesus came to be with us,
so God’s sustaining spirit is always here. God, like the
Father of the Prodigal Son, is always looking for us to
return, if we have gone astray. We are loved.
Often, though, that love needs to be mediated to us
through other people. God’s embrace needs to come
through a human hug. What if no one is there to give
us a hug? Perhaps, we need to go out and find someone
else who needs a hug. Others, too, feel despair. In
giving loving care to someone else, our own need
may be fulfilled. Our hug is likely to receive another in
return and hope can begin to work its way back.

thank you!
I write you today to say, “Thank you!” I thank you for your support on the coldest Sunday in
the year!

Sunday, February 10th, the temperature did not get above three degrees Fahrenheit. The
temperature in the sanctuary, however, and the temperature in our souls was red hot!

It was hot because of your love for me and my love for you. It was “hot” because it was the last
Sunday that I would be preaching as the Senior Pastor of this congregation that I have served for
36 years. It was hot because the spirit of the Lord God was upon me and the anointing was heavy
on my soul.

Many of our members hung in there with me for all three services! They literally stayed to hear me
preach my final sermon—or my final three sermons to all three congregations who worship with us
every Sunday.

They were here for the 7:14 a.m. service. They were here for the 11:00 a.m., and they were here
for my “farewell” sermon at 6:00 in the evening.

I write this note to say, “Thank you,” to those who hung in there with me all three services. Some
even stayed for my two-and-one-half hour lecture in between the second and third services. I write
you to say a special thank you to those members.

I also write you to thank those of you who were here for one of three services. That Sunday
is a Sunday that will live forever in my memory. I thank you for making it such an unforgettable
“moment in time.”

I also thank you for 36 years. I thank you for the 36 years that some of you have been with me.
I thank you for every moment that all of you have been with me. I thank you for allowing me to
make mistakes and to do my best in trying to be the minister that God would have me be.

Sincerely and gratefully yours,

Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

my retirement celebration
Today is the second Sunday of the celebration of my thirty-six years of service to this congregation.
I thank you for your joining in with me to celebrate these thirty-six years and I thank you for joining
my friends of many years who will bring the messages today.
Last Sunday, three of my friends and colleagues of thirty years or more joined with us to kick off
the celebration. Reverend Frank Thomas preached the first service. Reverend Frank is a son of this
church. I ordained him over three decades ago. I thank him for his sermons across the years and I
especially thank him for last Sunday’s sermon.
I thank Dr. Thomas for his service to the church of Jesus Christ. I thank him for coming to share
with us and to share with the congregation where God has placed me and kept me for thirty-six years.
I came to Trinity United Church of Christ on March the 1st of 1972. My good friend, Bishop
Nathaniel Jarrett, was sent to serve the Martin Temple A.M.E. Zion Church in June of 1972.
Bishop Jarrett and I began our ministries in this city six months apart, and he and I have walked
together as co-laborers in Christ for thirty-six years. He preached our eleven o’clock service last week,
and he bought an awesome Word to the people of God.
I met Bishop Vashti McKenzie of the African Methodist Episcopal church long before she was a
Bishop. I met her even before she was a minister! When I met Vashti she was a steward at the Bethel
African Methodist Episcopal Church in Baltimore, Maryland. Reverend Dr. John Richard Bryant was
her Pastor.
Across the years I have watched her accept her Call to Ministry, go to seminary, graduate from
seminary, become ordained as an Itinerant Elder in the A.M.E. church, and get sent by the Bishop to
pastor two churches.
Her first church was a small church with under ten members in the rural section of Maryland
between Baltimore and Delaware.
Her second pastorate was at the Payne Memorial A.M.E. Church in Baltimore. Payne is a large
congregation. Vashti was the first woman minister to be assigned by a Bishop in the A.M.E. church
to a large congregation! Needless to say, she did an awesome work there.
Frank Thomas has preached at our church for over thirty years. Nate Jarrett has preached at our
church for over thirty years. Vashti McKenzie started preaching at our church about fifteen years
ago, and she has been an annual visitor to our congregation, always bringing a fresh Word when she
comes and stands behind the sacred desk.

my retirement celebration, cont’d
All three of these servants of God preached very powerfully in honor of my thirty-six years and I
am grateful to God for their messages. You can pick up copies of their messages today.
Today starts a week-long celebration of my thirty-six years here. Today, the father of our Pastor,
the Reverend Dr. Otis Moss, Jr., joins with a thirty-six year friend, Dr. Yvonne Delk and one of my
mentors, Dr. Charles G. Adams, in bringing the second in a series of messages which celebrate my
time among you.
Dr. Adams is bringing 300 members of Hartford Church with him this evening to say, “Bon
Voyage” and for the gifts that all three of my friends bring today, I say, “To God be the Glory for the
things God has done!” Today, the president of our denomination, Rev. Dr. John Thomas, also joins
us for all three services and for that blessing I say, “Thank you!”
I have received letters and questions from around the country as persons have tried to understand
why I am having Worship Services and not a huge banquet or a gala of some sort to celebrate my
thirty-six years. As I said to you several Sundays ago in the article “No Charge,” I did not want our
members to have to pay money to say thank you for the years I have tried to serve you.
I have done like the old hymn of the church says and “given the best of my service.” I did not
want you to have to pay anything to say “Thank you” to me.
I hope that you will attend as many of these services today and this week as is humanly possible.
We have services each night this week. We have a mini-conference this coming weekend and we close
out next Sunday with Lance Watson, our own Pastor and Freddy Haynes bringing the final three
messages.
Next Sunday night we gather at Christ Universal Temple for our last service in order that the
entire congregation may be able to be present. Christ Universal seats more than twice the number
that we seat here in our Sanctuary.
I am looking forward to sharing these services with you and I thank you once again for the
privilege of having been able to be among you, to be with you and to love you for three-and-a-half
decades!

Sincerely yours,

Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

the inconvenient candidate
by Rev. Otis Moss, Jr.
Dr. Vincent Harding wrote a profound book on
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. about 12 years ago with the
title “Martin Luther King: The Inconvenient Hero.”
Almost a year ago I wrote an article in support of
Sen. Barack Obama under the title: “Senator Barack
Obama and the Joshua Generation.” Hardly anyone
noticed, because a large segment of America felt that
Sen. Obama’s run would soon be exhausted without
funds, faith or following.
However, just the opposite happened. Then some
African Americans began to raise questions about
his “Blackness” while some White Americans raised
questions about his “readiness.”
Harry Truman raised the same questions about
John F. Kennedy’s “readiness” and some people raised
the same questions about Ambassador Andrew Young
when he ran for Congress. He had never held elective
office and was running in a Congressional district
that was over 60 percent White. Justice, history, truth
and democracy were on Andrew Young’s side. No
one can dispute that fact now. But some people in
the early 1970s thought his candidacy was a political
inconvenience.
When the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. ran in 1984
and 1988, some argued that his candidacy would
hurt the party (the Democratic Party) and help the
Republicans. Jackson’s two runs for the nomination
helped the Democratic Party, helped elect progressive
Whites and African Americans
Jackson said, “If you run, you may win; if you don’t
run, you can’t win.” Jackson said, “Keep hope alive.”
He also said, “Let’s have a ‘Rainbow Coalition,’
all colors, all races, all faith traditions and all ethnic
identities.”
Sunday, February 24, 2008 11 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Jackson’s races in 1984 and 1988 opened the door
for the Rev. Al Sharpton. It was not convenient for
Jackson nor Congressman Young. It certainly was not
convenient for Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm in
1972. But each helped to lay the foundation for 2008.
For those who are committed to a candidate
other than Sen. Obama, we all should respect that
commitment. For those who are committed to Sen.
Obama, we should “Keep hope alive,” “Let freedom
ring,” “Keep the dream alive.”
We have come over a way that with tears has been
watered;
We have come, treading our path through the
blood of the slaughtered. (J.W.J.)
It is relevant to ask, “If not now, when? If not
Obama, who?”
In a democracy, anybody can run who meets the
constitutional and citizenship requirements. From
a slave-holding Thomas Jefferson to a born-again
Baptist deacon, Sunday School teacher and farmer
from Plains, GA, with a great mind and a great soul.
From a plain spoken, honest man from
Independence, MO, who never went to college
to a Harvard Law School graduate from Chicago.
From a Westside congressman from Cleveland to a
distinguished former first lady from New York.
Sen. Obama is writing a new and creative chapter in
American political history, and we should “rejoice and
be glad in it.” It may not be convenient to everyone,
but it is truly liberating for everyone.
Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, Jr. is pastor of Olivet Institutional
Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio.

T
Text goes here heologian, pastor, and civic leader the Reverend Dr. Otis Moss, Jr.
is one of America’s most influential religious leaders and highly sought-
after public speakers. A native of the state of Georgia, Moss was born on
February 26, 1935 and was raised in the community of LaGrange. The son of
Magnolia Moss and Otis Moss, Sr. and the fourth of their five children, he earned
his B.A. degree from Morehouse College in 1956 and his masters of divinity
degree from the Morehouse School of Religion/Interdenominational Theological
Center in 1959. He also completed special studies at the Inter-Denominational
Theological Center from 1960 to 1961 and earned his Ph.D. degree in ministry
from the United Theological Seminary in 1990.
From 1954 to 1959, Moss served as pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist Church
in LaGrange, Georgia. From 1956 to 1961, he also served as pastor of Atlanta’s Providence Baptist Church
and therefore, simultaneously led two congregations from 1956 to 1959. From 1961 to 1975, he pastored the
Mount Zion Baptist Church in Lockland, Ohio, and in 1971, he served as co-pastor, with Reverend Dr. Martin
Luther King, Sr., at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta. In 1975, he was called to pastor Olivet Institutional
Baptist Church in Cleveland, Ohio, where he continues today.
Moss has been involved in advocating civil and human rights and social justice issues for most of his adult life.
Having been a staff member of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he currently serves as a national board
member and trustee for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change. His work in the
international community has taken him to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. He also traveled as a member of
a clergy mission to the Far East in 1970 and to Israel in 1978. In 1994, he was the special guest of President
William Jefferson Clinton at the Peace Treaty signing between Israel and Jordan, and, in that same year, he led a
special mission to South Africa.
Moss is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including Human Relations Award from Bethune
Cookman College in 1976, The Role Model of the Year Award from the National Institute for Responsible
Fatherhood and Family Development in 1992, Leadership Award from the Cleveland chapter of the American
Jewish Committee in 1996, and an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from LaGrange College in 2004. In 2004, he
participated in the Oxford Round Table in Oxford, England, and was a guest presenter for the Lyman Beecher
Lecture series at Yale University.
Moss is married to the former Edwina Hudson Smith. They have three children, Kevin, Daphne (deceased),
and Otis III.

F
Text goes here or nearly 40 years, Reverend Yvonne V. Delk has been a strong
ally in the fight for human and civil rights for people of color, children and
the poor. Today, she remains a clear, prolific and moral voice in search of
justice and equality for the oppressed within the U.S. interfaith community.
In 1990, Rev. Delk became the first woman and first African American
executive director of the Community Renewal Society (CRS). CRS was founded
in 1882 as the Chicago City Missionary Society, an agency related to the United
Church of Christ (UCC).
From 1981 to 1990, Rev. Delk was executive director of the UCC’s Office of
Church in Society. In 1974, she became the first African American woman to be
ordained in the UCC and, in 1989, was the first woman to be nominated as a
candidate for the office of president of the United Church of Christ.
A native of Norfolk, VA, she received her undergraduate degree from Norfolk State University in 1961; a
master’s degree in Religious Education from Andover Newton Theological School in 1963; and in 1978 earned
a doctorate in ministry from New York Theological Seminary. Dr. Delk has been a visiting professor and has
taught courses in Urban Ministry, Black Church Education and the United Church Christ Polity and History
at Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, MA, Virginia Union Seminary in Richmond, VA, and the Seminary
Consortium for Pastoral Education in Chicago, IL.
An author and essayist, her published works and sermons include: Books for Children; Educational Resources
for Black Churches; New Road to Faith: Black Perspectives in Education; Do You Love Me?; Meditation on
Psalm 137:1 - The Churches’ Search for Justice and Peace in Southern Africa; A Moment in Turning; and
Sanctuary Is More Than Architecture.
Dr. Delk is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including those from Sigma Rho Sigma Honor
Society, Illinois Pro-Choice Alliance, YWCA and Howard University. She has received honorary doctorate
degrees from Ursinus College, Chicago Theological Seminary, Huston-Tillotson College and Eden Theological
Seminary.
A champion in the cause for justice, Dr. Delk continues to speak a prophetic word in the 21st century as an
unconditional friend and champion for the “least of these.”

 STEWARDSHIP
the results of a Redeemed LifE
THE DAY ISAIAH WAS CHOSEN TO BE A STEWARD

E
ight hundred years before Jesus was born, there was a very religious man named
Isaiah who lived in Jerusalem. Worshiping in the temple one day, Isaiah had a
direct revelation of God. Isaiah was totally stunned. He sensed the holiness of God
and how God’s purity contrasted with his own sinfulness. He felt that he was lacking in
holiness and that the people of Judea were as bad as he was, or worse.
God, however, did not chastise Isaiah. When he admitted his sinfulness, Isaiah was
instantly purified. He heard the words: “Your guilt has departed and your sin is blotted
out.” Then he heard the following words from God: “Whom shall I send and who will go
for us?” Without hesitation, Isaiah answered: “Here am I, send me!” (Isaiah 6:6-8) God
challenged Isaiah, and Isaiah took the challenge. That was the day Isaiah was chosen to
be a steward. He became such a dedicated prophet of God that his stewardship is greatly
admired by both Jews and Christians to this day.
Indeed, Jesus himself often quoted from Isaiah and his first sermon was based on a
passage from the book of Isaiah. (See Luke 4:18) How did Isaiah serve as a steward of
God? He was a dedicated prophet who spoke on behalf of God to sinful nations. He
worked hard to turn people away from idols and false gods and to the service of the one
true God. He labored to influence persons of greed and wealth to help the poor, the
widows and orphans and the oppressed. He fearlessly spoke on behalf of justice and took
personal ridicule in stride. He did so, because he knew God would help him, support him,
and be pleased with his dedicated service.
What does Isaiah’s stewardship say to us? Certainly, Isaiah serves as an example of how
we can serve God as he did. Such service will begin when we are as aware of God’s holy
and challenging presence in our sincere worship. It will continue as we each say, “Here am
I, send me!” It will culminate in our taking a stand for justice, for the poor and helpless,
and when we are willing to share our time, talent, financial resources, our bodies and souls
on behalf of God and God’s Kingdom. After all, if we pray, “thy kingdom come, thy will
be done on Earth,” shouldn’t we put that prayer to work personally? How can we do any less?

Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry

 TO DO JUSTICE
by Rev. Reginald Williams, Jr.
T
he mission of the Cook County Bureau
of Health Services (CCBHS) is “to
provide integrated health services with
dignity and respect regardless of the patient’s
ability to pay.”
For more than 170 years, Cook County/
CCBHS has been the safety net that offered
high quality healing and care for the poor
and left out in our community. In 1835, the
Commissioners established the poor house that
provided medical care for the poor. Since that
time, CCBHS has been a critical part of care for
the working and unemployed, underinsured,
and uninsured residents of Cook County,
preparing nurses and doctors who work in our
communities and poor communities across the
State of Illinois and the nation. They currently
provide over one million patient visits per year.
Stroger Cook County is the only level one
trauma center (a hospital that is prepared to
provide the highest level of emergency surgical
care for critically injured 24 hours a day) within
Chicago. The next closest level one trauma
center is Christ Advocate in Oak Lawn.
Some of the recent cuts in seven health
service arms of the bureau are threatening access
to care for the growing number of uninsured
and underinsured and the health of God’s
people (our community). The current cuts
include:
• Stroger Cook County Hospital –
nursing middle management dismissed;
occupational medicine eliminated;
Sunday, February 24, 2008 18 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
elimination of the Pathology and Ob-Gyne
training residencies; Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Hospital in jeopardy
• Cermak Health Services (Cook County
Jail Health Services) – 60% reduction in
primary care, elimination of well women’s
care and dental services, dismantling of the
infectious disease program that treats HIV/
AIDS, tuberculosis, lost accreditation
• Provident Hospital – elimination of
Orthopedic Department (care of the
bones, joints and muscles), scaled back
maternity and women’s health, from
23 weekly clinic sessions to 8 sessions,
reduced critical care beds from 13 to 8
• Ambulatory & Community Health
Network – closed 3 health centers and
4 school-based centers, no longer has
multidisciplinary approach to diabetes,
12 medical directors either left or are no
longer in leadership (7 were minorities)
• Cook County Department of Public
Health – eliminated vacancies; services are
being maintained through grant support
• Oak Forest Hospital – lost 468 full-
time employees through layoff, early
retirement, and resignations, 168 full-
time housekeeping employees laid off;
laundry outsourced
• Core Center (specializes in HIV/AIDS
and other infectious disease care) – 10%
cut, services maintained through grants,
some providers left
 TO DO JUSTICE

Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the
wound of my people? Jeremiah 8: 22 (NIV)
These reductions in service, the current threat of an additional 13% of the budget, and the current
poor management structure threaten the presence of healing balm. By law, the Cook County Board
of Commissioners, must pass a budget for the County by February 18, 2008.

ACTION ITEMS
Call your Cook County Commissioner and demand:
1. An independent interim management team be established to manage the Cook County Bureau
of Health Services
2. Healthcare funding be restored to its pre-cut level.

Thought for this week:

“What affects one of us directly, affects all of us indirectly.” —Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
