HOLD TO GODSUNCHANGING HAND
Verse I
Time is lled with swit transition.
Naught of earth unmoved can stand.
Build your hopes on things eternal
Hold to Gods unchanging hand.
Chorus
Hold to His hand, Gods unchanging hand.
Hold to His hand, Gods unchanging hand.
Build your hopes on things eternal
Hold to Gods unchanging hand.
Verse II
Trust in Him who will not leave you.
Whatsoever years may bring.
I by earthly riends orsaken.
Still more closely to Him cling.
(Repeat Chorus)

Covet not this worlds vain riches.
That so rapidly decay.

HAVE A LITTLE TALKWITH JESUS
Verse I
I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in,
And then a little light from heaven lled my soul;
It bathed my heart in love
And wrote my name above,
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole.
Chorus
Have a little talk with Jesus, tell Him all about
Your troubles, Hear our aintest cry,Answer by and by;
Feel a little prayer wheel turning,
Know a little re is burning,
Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
Verse II
Sometimes my path seems drear,
Without a ray o cheer,
And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day;
The mists o sin may rise and hide the starry skies,
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse III
I may have doubts and ears,
My eyes be lled with tears,
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night;
I go to Him in prayer, He knows my evry care,
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
(Repeat Chorus)

ExODUS 5:2223; 6:18 (The Message)2223 Moses went back to God and said, My
Master, why are you treating this people so
badly? And why did you ever send me? From
the moment I came to Pharaoh to speak in your
name, things have only gotten worse or thispeople. And rescue? Does this look like rescue to
you?
1God said to Moses, Now youll see what Ill do
to Pharaoh: With a strong hand hell send them
out free; with a strong hand hell drive themout o his land. 26God continued speaking to
Moses, reassuring him, I am God. I appeared to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as The Strong God,
but by my name God (I-Am-Present) I was not
known to them. I also established my covenant
with them to give them the land o Canaan, the
country in which they lived as sojourners. But
now Ive heard the groanings o the Israelites
whom the Egyptians continue to enslave and
Ive remembered my covenant. Thereore tell the
Israelites: 68I am God. I will bring you out rom
under the cruel hard labor o Egypt. I will rescue
you rom slavery. I will redeem you, interveningwith great acts o judgment. Ill take you as my
own people and Ill be God to you. Youll know
that I am God, your God who brings you out
rom under the cruel hard labor o Egypt. Ill
bring you into the land that I promised to give
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and give it to you asyour own country. I AM God.

ExODUS 4:1820 (The Message)18 Moses went back to Jethro his ather-in-law
and said, I need to return to my relatives who
are in Egypt. I want to see i theyre still alive.
Jethro said, Go. And peace be with you.
19 God said to Moses in Midian: Go. Return toEgypt. All the men who wanted to kill you are
dead. 20 So Moses took his wie and sons and
put them on a donkey or the return trip to
Egypt. He had a rm grip on the sta o God.

JOHN 9:111(NRSV)1As he walked along, he saw a man blind rom
birth. 2 His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who
sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born
blind? 3 Jesus answered, Neither this man nor his
parents sinned; he was born blind so that Godsworks might be revealed in him. 4We must work
the works of him who sent me while it is day;
night is coming when no one can work. 5As long
as I am in the world, I am the light o the world.6When he had said this, he spat on the ground
and made mud with the saliva and spread the mudon the mans eyes, 7 saying to him, Go, wash in
the pool of Siloam (which means Sent). Then he
went and washed and came back able to see. 8 The
neighbors and those who had seen him beore as
a beggar began to ask, Is this not the man who
used to sit and beg? 9 Some were saying, It is
he. Others were saying, No, but it is someone
like him. He kept saying, I am the man.10 But they kept asking him, Then how were your
eyes opened? 11 He answered, The man called
Jesus made mud, spread it on my eyes, and said to
me, Go to Siloam and wash. Then I went and
washed and received my sight.
CONfessiONOf siNs
Almighty and Most Merciful Father, wecome beore You, acknowledging our sins,our shortcomings, and our breaking o our
Covenant with You.
Not only have we done things we ought not
to have done, said things we ought not to have
said, let undone so many things we ought tohave done and been silent when we should have
witnessed or You.
Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but
we have also closed our eyes and pretended
not to see the injustices, the racism and the evil
which pervade our everyday lives.We have shut our ears and pretended not to
hear the cries or liberation which come rom
the lips, lives and hearts o the oppressed
even our own Black brothers and sisters!
Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and
aith, and keep us ever mindul o Thy great
sacrice. Hear us, we beseech Thee, as we come
to You in love and worship giving Your name
the praise orevermore.
===========
TO ALL OUR VISITORS To all who
mourn and need comorting To all who
are riendless and want riendship To all
who are oppressed and need liberation; and to
whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors.
Thank you or coming and may God bless you.

Several years ago, the gospel giant, Shirley Caesar sang a song entitled, No Charge!The theme
o the song was her trying to explain to her son how much she loved him and how much she
did or him at no charge.
Her son had given her a list o his chores and the cost o each chore like taking out the garbage
for a week 50 cents; cleaning my room for a week $10.00.He totaled up his weeks work and told his mother what he was charging her. She then wrote out
a long list or him. On her list were things like caring or him when he was sick, sitting up with him
all night, xing breakast every day, making sure he was clothed and taken care o and her total was
no charge!
For thirty-six years you have supported my ministry and as I depart from the Ofce of Senior
Pastor, I want to say to you, No Charge!I want you to celebrate my thirty-six years without having
to pay.
For thirty-six years I have not had affairs that charge members of the church to attend. We are
having worship services each night during my last week here at the church and there is no charge
or those worship services.
We will lit up oerings each night to cover the cost o fying in our guest ministers and their hotel
accommodations, but those are oerings, and everybody is not giving the same thing in an oering.
It is not a charge. We are not chargingyou to attend those worship services!
On the Friday and Saturday leading up to my last Sunday here, we are having a two-day mini-
Conerence. There is no charge!or that Conerence.
We are asking people who want to eat at the church to give us $10 to cover breakfast and lunch
each day. Several of our members have already paid $25 and $40 for the Conference and we have the
receipts or your registration to that Conerence.
We will give your money back to you today, i you come to the table and bring your receipt. I youdo not have your receipt, we have a copy o the receipts o those who paid and we will give you the
extra money back.
Each week we sell dinners at our church for $6. That is not a fundraiser. For at least twenty-ve
years I have called them fun-raisers. Our meal times are ellowship times and un times. The cost is
only to cover the expenses o the ood.
As the kids have been saying now or about ten years, I aint going out like that! I am not goingout charging you anything but the cost o the ood. The people who are preparing the ood are
doing it out o love or me and I am not charging you.
No CHARge!

The people who will be serving that day are doing it reely because o their appreciation o my
ministry. I am not going to kick you in the ace by charging you to pay those who are working
reely. We are only asking you to cover the cost o the ood.
I am sorry about the mix-up. I am sorry about those o you who were told that you could not
attend the Conerence i you did not pay.There is no chargeor the Conerence!
I you do not want to eat on either day, then you simply will not have a receipt, nor will you be
able to present your receipt to the servers, so that you can enjoy the meals that they have prepared.
I you only intend to attend the sessions at the Conerence, there is no charge!I you are
attending the Conerence and intending to eat, the only cost we are asking or is to cover the cost o
the ood or each meal that you eat.
I am sorry about the mix-up. I am sorry about the conusion.
I have tried to stay away rom the planning o my own retirement celebration, but when I ound
out that members were being told they had to pay and/or that the church was charging them to
attend a Conerence celebrating my ministry, I blew a gasket! Please orgive me.
I also ound out that while I was at Howard University a gala was announced in celebration o
my thirty-six years. THERE WILL BE NO GALA!
I would not charge members to come and say Thank you to me. I am the one who should be
saying Thank You to you.
I am saying Thank You to you and I am thanking God or the privilege o having been able to
serve you or thirty-six years. To say goodbye to me, please remember this. There is, No Charge!
In the words of Martin Lawrence, Now, run and tell that!
Lovingly yours,

Last week at the eleven oclock service I invited the Sanctuary Choir to join me in choosingThe Pastor over The Patriots. I am now making that same invitation to you.Tonight is my last Baptismal Service as Senior Pastor. Tonight is my last Communion Service as
Senior Pastor.
I am inviting you to come and share with me on my last Communion Sunday rather than spending
money you do not have to go watch the Patriots and to party with olk who have no vested interest
in the Patriots.
Tonight, millions o Arican Americans will be betting, making bets, collecting money they won
rom bets, celebrating, drinking and having a great time because the Boston Patriots are expected to
end a perect season. What has that to do with you?
What has that to do with God? What does that have to do with your church?I am asking you to give up the rst hal o the Super Bowl Game. I am asking you to give up all o
the drinking, partying, laughing and eating.
I am even asking you to consider not spending the money that you are going to spend on Super
Bowl parties today. For many of you this request comes too late!
For others of you, however, I am simply asking you to join me here in the Sanctuary for my
last Baptismal Service and my last First Sunday Communion Service. I look forward to seeing youtonight at ve oclock.
Sincerely yours,
Reverend Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

THe ReSulTS of A ReDeeMeD life
GIVING GUIDELINES FORPRAYERFUL CONSIDERATION
Giving in proportion to what God has done for each of us. Luke 12:48
Giving regularly (weekly, monthly), as encouraged in I Corinthians 16:2Giving rst fruits (or the promised amount) rst: Nehemiah 10:35
Giving sacricially: I Chronicles 21:24
Giving cheerfully and joyfully: II Corinthians 9:8
Giving to care for the needs of others: Galatians 6:10
GENEROSITY IS RELATIVEGenerosity, o course, is relative. Twenty dollars rom one person is very generous,
rom another, a mere pittance. When it comes to church support, that is why we are
asked not for equal giving, but for equal sacrice. Only the giving individual and
God can judge when there is sacrice.
Stewardship takes all o us into account. The church doesnt just need to receive
money you need to be generous.
LOVE IN DEEDBy this we know love, that He laid down His lie or us; and we ought to lay down our
lives or the brethren. But, i anyone has the worlds goods and sees his brother in need, yet
closes his heart against him, how does Gods love abide in him? Little children, let us not
love in word or speech, but in deed and in truth. I John 3:16-18.
Your Friends in Service,
Te Steadsip Ministy

TO dO JUsTiCe
Many times, people are concerned about
issues as long as the issue is in the
spotlight, or the headlines. As soon as
the light is taken o, so is the interest in the issue.
Thirty months ater the horrors o Hurricane
Katrina, and the broken levees were televised orall to see, there are people who still have no where
to live because o the eects o Hurricane Katrina.
Some amily members still do not know whether
loved ones are dead or alive. There are still amilies
separated rom one another. And, the government
is still not doing enough to help those displaced by
this disaster.In 2005, people affected and displaced by
Hurricane Katrina testied beore a congressional
panel as to the treatment received during the
disaster, and even now, ater some have been
allowed to return. One woman testied that
those who have returned are now living under
martial law in their neighborhoods. She statedthat people can walk around the French Quarter
drunk until 1:45 a.m., but in the areas populated
by Black people, troops are there to ensure that
no one is on the street after 9:00 p.m. One elderly
community leader stated that many o the public
housing units were boarded up with steel boards,
so that people cant even go back and gather whatis left of their belongings. In December 2007,
citizens of New Orleans public housing were
made aware that their homes would be torn down.
While no bid contracts are being given to Bushs
buddies to clean up New Orleans and the Gulf
Coast, amilies are separated, and amilies lands
are being portioned out. In act, one investor has
sent his agent to New Orleans and authorized him
to spend up to $10,000,000 in New Orleans to
purchase lands devastated by levees.
This week, the ederal courts dismissed a suit
against the Army Corps o Engineers brought
by residents of New Orleans who claim that no
investment was made in the levees to secure themas being sae. While the judge dismissed the case,
he chided the Army Corps or ailure to protect
the city, but cited the Flood Control Act of 1928,
which protect the government when food control
projects, such as levees, break. Once again, the
citizens of New Orleans have searched for justice
in the country to which they pay taxes. Yet,again, they have been denied justice. Not only
were peoples lands and homes sold and being
sold, but displaced citizens voting rights were
not protected. New Orleans was 30% under the
poverty level. This means that some people were
unable to evacuate. It also means that some will
have nothing upon their return, i they are ableto return at all. Serious advocacy needs to take
place around these issues. I urge you to call your
senator or congressman today, and demand that
steps be taken to ensure airness in the treatment
o those aected by Katrina. I you have not
taken advantage o early voting, please be sure on
February 5, 2008 toVOTE!ACTION ITEMS
