 UNISON SCRIPTUREs
7:30 a.m.
John 5:1–9b (NRSV)
1
After this there was a festival of the Jews, and
Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now in Jerusalem
by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in
Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has five porticoes.
3
In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and
paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been ill
for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying
there and knew that he had been there a long
time, he said to him, “Do you want to be made
well?” 7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, I have
no one to put me into the pool when the water is
stirred up; and while I am making my way,
someone else steps down ahead of me.” 8 Jesus
said to him, “Stand up, take your mat and walk.”
9
At once the man was made well, and he took up
his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a
sabbath.
11:00 a.m.
II Kings 7:3–9 (NRSV)
3
Now there were four leprous men outside the city
gate, who said to one another, “Why should we sit
here until we die? 4 If we say, “Let us enter the city,’
the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; but
if we sit here, we shall also die. Therefore, let us
desert to the Aramean camp; if they spare our lives,
we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.”
5
So they arose at twilight to go to the Aramean
camp; but when they came to the edge of the
Aramean camp, there was no one there at all. 6 For
the Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the
Communion Sunday, January 6, 2008 6 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
sound of chariots, and of horses, the sound of a
great army, so that they said to one another, “The
king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites
and the kings of Egypt to fight against us.” 7 So
they fled away in the twilight and abandoned their
tents, their horses, and their donkeys leaving the
camp just as it was, and fled for their lives. 8 When
these leprous men had come to the edge of the
camp, they went into a tent, ate and drank, carried
off silver, gold, and clothing, and went and hid
them. Then they came back, entered another tent,
carried off things from it, and went and hid them.
9
Then they said to one another, “What we are
doing is wrong. This is a day of good news; if we
are silent and wait until the morning light, we will
be found guilty; therefore let us go and tell the
king’s household.”
6:00 p.m.
John 1:43–46 (NRSV)
43
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee.
He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
44
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of
Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and
said to him, “We have found him about whom
Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote,
Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” 46 Nathanael
said to him, “Can anything good come out of
Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
 Pastor’s page
H
appy New Year! I write you on the
first Sunday of a New Year to wish
you joy, to wish you God’s presence
and to wish you God’s peace.
I do not make those wishes as “idle” wishes. I do
not share my wish for you and for your family as a
matter of routine.
I am telling you what I feel from the bottom of
my heart and in the depths of my soul. I want each
of you to come into a deeper relationship with the
Lord in the year 2008. Your life will never be the
same if my “wishes” come true.
The month of January 2008 not only brings in a
New Year. It also brings in a flurry of activities in the
congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ. We
started off the year with the ordination of Reverend
Reginald Williams. That service (for those of you who
missed church last Sunday and who only come once a
month) was this past Friday night, January 4th.
Please be sure to wish Reggie, Nikita and Nia
congratulations and God’s speed as Reverend
Williams begins this new phase of his ministry.
The month of January has us preparing for our
Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr./Historically
Black College Fair. Our Higher Education
Corporation is busily preparing to serve the youth
of our church and the youth of our city at this year’s
Fair. You do not want to miss bringing your teenager
to that Annual HBCU College Fair. A half-page ad
in this bulletin will give you all of the details.
The month of January also marks the observance
of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. His
actual birth date was January the 15th and during
that week many different churches, synagogues,
congregations, institutions and schools will be
Communion Sunday, January 6, 2008 7 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
observing the life and ministry of a man whose
message changed this world.
The month of January brings around our Annual
Married Couples Worship Service. It will be held
this year on January the 18th. We encourage you
to mark your calendars now and to be with us as
a ministry couple comes in from out of town to
be with us and to share with us the joy and the
challenges of living out the covenant of marriage.
The month of January always brings around my
Ordination Anniversary date. I was ordained on
January 20, 1967. It has been a “wild ride” these
past 41 years. It has also been an exciting journey
where God’s surprises of “Fresh Grace” met (and
continue to meet) me every morning.
The month of January also brings about our
Annual Congregational Meeting. The congregation
will meet this year on Ramah’s birthday, January 25th.
It is a very special Annual Meeting for me in that it
will be the last Annual Meeting of the Congregation
over which I will be presiding as Senior Pastor.
As we start a New Year together, I write you as
your Senior Pastor to thank you for last year. I write
you to thank you for the many years that you have
stood by me, walked with me and prayed for me.
I want you to know that I will be taking your
prayer concerns seriously. Many of you turned in
your “one thing” prayer concern on New Year’s
Eve. Some of you brought them in today. I began
to work my way through them this week and I ask
for your prayers for me as we together continue to
hold onto God’s unchanging hand.
Sincerely and respectfully yours,

Conversely, some areas of the city, such as

Studies have shown that infant mortality is
mostly about birth weight. However, due to

 STEWARDSHIP

the results of a Redeemed LifE

GIVING YOUR BEST

O
ne winter, I spent Wednesday evenings teaching art classes to mentally
handicapped adults. I planned a variety of art projects these young men
and women could make and enjoy. One young man worked each week,
but never smiled or spoke. Andy had trouble working with his hands and seemed
displeased with everything he made.
One evening, I taught candle making. Andy dropped in ice cubes and poured
melted blue wax into the empty milk carton to make his candle. Once it cooled,
Andy peeled off the cardboard. I lit the wick and watched Andy’s face light up!
He quickly blew the candle out and then cradled his masterpiece. Andy took it
and gave it to his counselor. He beamed as he presented his gift. He had so little,
but he gave away the best he had made.
I felt so humbled, for when I first learn to make things well, I want to keep
them and hoard my workmanship. God gave us His best in giving us Jesus, God’s
only Son. Jesus gave us his best in giving his life for us.
God gives us talents not to build ourselves up with pride, but so we will have
something we value to share and give to others.

Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry
