hYMNs Of prAise

7:30 a.m.DOWN AT THE CROSSVerse IDown at the cross where my Savior died,

Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,

There to my heart was the blood applied,

Singin’ Glory to His name

ChorusI’m singin’ Glory to His name, Precious name,

Glory to His name, Precious name,

There to my heart was the blood applied,


Verse III am so wondrously saved from sin,

Jesus so sweetly abides within,

There at the cross where He took me in,


Repeat Chorus

Verse IIIOh, precious fountain that saves from sin,

I am so glad I have entered in,

There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean,


Repeat Chorus

Verse IVCome to this fountain so rich and sweet,

Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet,

Plunge in today, and be made complete


Repeat Chorus

11:00 a.m.AT THE CROSSVerse I Alas! And did my Savior bleed?

And did my Sov’reign die?

Would He devote that sacred head

For such a One as I?

ChorusAt the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light

And the burden of my heart rolled away,

It was there by faith I received my sight,

And now I am happy all the day!

Verse IIWas it for crimes that I have done

He groaned upon the tree?

Amazing pity, Grace unknown,

And love beyond degree.

(Repeat chorus)

Verse IIIWell might the sun in darkness hide

And shut His glories in,

When Christ the mighty Maker

Died for man the creature’s sin

(Repeat chorus)

Verse IVBut drops of grief can ne’er repay

The debt of love I owe,

Here, Lord I give myself away

‘Tis all that I can do!

(Repeat chorus)


6:00 p.m.REVELATION 10:9–11 (NRSV)9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.” 10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. 11 Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.”

7:30 a.m.jOHN 1:35–40 (NRSV)35 The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, 36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, “Look, here is the Lamb of God!” 37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38 When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which translated means Teacher), “where are you staying?” 39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. 40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

11:00 a.m.jOHN 1:40–46 (NRSV)40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41 He first found his brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.” 42 He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas.” 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.”

Ecumenical Advocacy Days2008: Claiming a New Vision of SecurityMarch 7–10, 2008, Washington, D.C.Please save the date for the sixth annual Ecu-menical Advocacy Days conference. Our theme, 2008: Claiming a New Vision of Security, will guide and inspire this gathering of over 1,000 religious advocates. Experts will train partici-pants on advocacy and policy issues, and on Monday the conference will conclude with lobby visits on Capitol Hill. This year’s event will be held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center and will feature speakers such as Arch-bishop Vicken Aykazian, President Elect of the National Council of Churches and Dr. Lisa Schirch, Professor of Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University. Also invited are all of the top democratic and republican candidates of the 2008 presidential race for a town hall meeting where YOU can see how they stack up on the issues that matter to you most.

Congressional Update:No Child Left Behind Act Reauthorization DelayedLeaders of Senate and House committees pre-paring for the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act announced in the first week of November that that chasms of disagreement under the surface of the conversation will make it impossible to bring the reauthorization of the federal education law to the floor of Congress in 2007. Thank you for your advocacy, for in this instance, Congressional inaction reflects grow-ing pressure by many advocates including those in faith communities who have insisted that Congress transform NCLB’s test-and-punish philosophy and instead recapture the original federal education goal: to expand and equalize educational opportunity. It will be important to broaden and deepen the conversation in the months ahead and for people of faith to con-tinue to advocate to Congress. You can track this important debate and find alerts for action on our FIXING No Child Left Behind webpage (www.ucc.org/justice/public-education/fixing-no-child-left-behind.html).

Congressional Update: The DREAM Act The DREAM Act finally made it to the floor of the Senate in late October and sadly failed, by a close vote of 52–44. This is the law that, if passed, would grant some children, brought at a young age to this country by undocumented parents, the right to qualify for college entrance, college scholarships, military service, and a path toward citizenship. When this bill finally came to the Senate floor after being introduced year after year since 2001, its bipartisan sponsors hoped it would make a space in this country for the roughly 65,000 high school graduates who face this situation each year, children who are likely to have grown up here and who in many cases have no familiarity with another country to which they could return. Learn more on our UCC public education pages.

Fair Trade and the 2008 ElectionsIf you live in an early caucus/primary state (espe-cially IA, NH, SC or NV) and you’re interested in Fair Trade/Sustainable Development for the developing world, then take a look at the follow-ing project:

Organizers in Iowa and New Hampshire are asking questions of the Presidential hopefuls at their events, and doing other educational work to inform the voting public and the candidates themselves about fair trade policy. The group is advocating a policy that benefits workers, family farmers, and the environment in the US, and helps the cause of democratic development and poverty relief in the developing world. If you are interested in this getting linked up with this project, please contact James Ploeser at [email protected]. He’s in Iowa, but is the point person coordinating efforts with other states as well.


The GOSPel ACCORDiNG TO The MASAi PeOPle

A ThANK yOU NOTe fROM ReV. JOhN l. MCCUllOUGh

pAsTOr’s pAge

This is an excerpt from a book Deacon Reggie Crenshaw just finished reading last month.

“An extraordinary example of such affinities is a creed composed for the Masai people of Africa in the 1960s.” Its second article, about Jesus Christ, affirms:

We believe that God made good his promise by sending his Son, Jesus Christ, a man in the flesh, a Jew by tribe, born poor in a little village, who left his home and was always on safari do-ing good, curing people by the power of God, teaching about God and man, showing that the meaning of religion is love. He was rejected by his people, tortured and nailed hands and feet to a cross, and died. He lay buried in the grave, but the hyenas did not touch him, and on the third day, he rose from the grave.

After nineteen centuries of the Christian read-ing of the Gospels in the original Greek and in many new languages all over the globe, it took the fresh experience of a new culture in Africa to discover there the message that Jesus, after having been “always on safari doing good,” was buried in a stone sepulcher sealed by a rock to protect his body from the danger of the scavenging hyenas, a danger that first-century Palestine and twentieth-century Africa both knew very well.”

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your support of Church World Service and the CWS Africa Initiative. In addi-tion to your support through your giving to the United Church of Christ, Church World Service has received over 200 Health Kits from your Africa Ministry and over 200 Health Kits from your Women’s Ministries. What an incredible show of love!

Trinity United Church of Christ is a long serving and valued partner to Church World Service. Through this partnership we are able to provide life-changing ministry to so many of our brothers and sisters in need around the world. Thank you again for your commitment, prayers and support.

Yours in service,

Rev. John L. McCulloughExecutive Director and CEOChurch World Service

TO dO JUsTiCe

R evisionist History is a term generally used to denote the efforts of the powers that be in rewriting history,

in order to justify or pacify people, for the purpose of deception, denigration, and domination. During this season, as we celebrate a time of thanks, it is good for us to come together with family and friends and thank God for the privilege of having family and friends.

However, the general myths taught around this time suggest that Thanksgiving was about Pilgrims, Puritans, Indigenous Native Americans (pejoratively called Indians), and turkeys. Teachers urge young children to dress up as pilgrims and Native Americans in paper bag costumes, as they gather to dine at the table of brotherhood, sisterhood and friendship. The message that is taught is nothing more than revisionist history infecting our children — and even adults — with the lie that Native Americans were happy to befriend those who “landed on Plymouth Rock.”

The Seattle public schools have taken a courageous and major step to deconstruct revisionist history and put forth the truth about the relationship of Puritans, Pilgrims, and Indigenous Native American People. For at least the past three years, the Seattle schools have sent letters to teachers and staff, alerting them that “Thanksgiving” is a hard time for native Americans, because of the manner in which their ancestors were tricked and killed by those called settlers, pilgrims, and puritans. This year, the Seattle schools included a list of the myths in the

letter to the teachers and staff which included the myths of “The First Thanksgiving.” You may view this list and share it with your children by going to http://www.oyate.org/resources/shortthanks.html. Please read the entire article, but take special note of Myth #11, which states the following:

Myth #11: Thanksgiving is a happy time.fact: For many Indigenous Native Americans (Indian) people, “Thanksgiving” is a time of mourning, of remembering how a gift of generosity was rewarded by theft of land and seed corn, extermination of many from disease and gun, and near total destruction of many more from forced assimilation. As currently celebrated in this country, “Thanksgiving” is a bitter reminder of 500 years of betrayal returned for friendship.

ThOughT fOr ThIS wEEk:“Africans cannot afford the luxury of listening to the siren songs of those who do not recognize or respect us...Trusting in our own cultural heritage, ancient and modern, we are in the best position to solve our own problem.” —Dr. Asa Hilliard III

by Rev. Reginald Williams, Jr.


THE RESULTS OF A REDEEMED LIFE

SHARE YOUR SURPLUS

“As a matter of equality, your surplus should supply their needs.” (II Corinthians 8:14)

Most early Christians embraced neither radical poverty nor common ownership of possessions. Most Christians then, lived as most Christians do now, working for a living and owning possessions. Some Christians were rich, some were middle-class and some were poor.

Nevertheless, there was a great deal of emphasis on sharing in the early church. One of Paul’s major projects was to take up a collection among the gentle churches of Greece to help the Jewish Church of Jerusalem (I Cor. 16:1-4; Romans 15:25-28; Acts 24:17). The collection was necessary because Christians in Jerusalem were in poverty, but it was also a demonstration of the unity of the church.

Chapter 8 in Paul’s appeal to the Christians of Corinth, contributes generously to this collection. Paul holds up the example of what Jesus did for them, “Becoming poor for your sake” (verse 9). Our generosity is our response to God’s generosity to us in Christ; our generosity is a part of our imitation of Christ. Paul did not ask the Corinthians to give up everything they own, but to share from what they have, in order to achieve some degree of equality between those who have more and those who have less (verse 12:15). One Christian should not have a surplus while another Christian lives in want.

January Isaiah 40:1-2 Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. 2Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the LORD’s hand double for all her sins.

Fe�uary Isaiah 40:4–5 4 “Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. 5And the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all mankind together will see it. For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”

Mar� Isaiah 40:11 He tends his �ock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

A�il Isaiah 40:18 To whom, then, will you compare God? What image will you compare him to?

May Isaiah 40:21 Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

June Isaiah 40:25 “To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.

July Isaiah 40:26 Li� your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Augu� Isaiah 40:27 Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD; my cause is disregarded by my God”?

Septem�r Isaiah 40:28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? �e LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.

Octo�r Isaiah 40:29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

Novem�r Isaiah 40:30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;

Decem�r Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. �ey will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

RestorationA God of My heartfelt hope for the congregation in the year 2007 is that each member

will fully embrace what it means to be loved by a God who restores. God is a God of redemption and not a God of condemnation.

Isaiah 40 (NIV)
