    GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

    ChorusGo tell it on the mountain,

    Over the hills and evrywhere,Go tell it on the mountain

    That Jesus Christ is born.

    Verse 1

    While shepherds kept their watchingOer silent ocks by night, Behold,

    Throughout the heavens, there shone

    a Holy light.

    Verse 2The shepherds feared and trembledWhen lo! above the earth, rang out the

    Angel chorus, that hailed our Saviors birth.

    Verse 3Down in a lowly manger, the humble

    Christ was born, and God sent us

    Salvaon, that blessed Christmas morn.

    JOHN 1:1-5, 14 (NIV)

    1In the beginning was the Word, and the

    Word was with God, and the Word was

    God. 2He was with God in the beginning.3Through him all things were made;

    without him nothing was made that has

    been made. 4In him was life, and that life

    was the light of men. 5The light shines in

    the darkness, but the darkness has not

    understood it.

    14The Word became esh and made hisdwelling among us. We have seen his

    glory, the glory of the One and Only, who

    came from the Father, full of grace and

    truth.

    Unison Scriptures

    JAMES 3:6-12 (The Message)6It only takes a spark, remember, to set

    o a forest re. A careless or wrongly

    placed word out of your mouth can do

    that. By our speech we can ruin the

    world, turn harmony to chaos, throwmud on a reputaon, send the whole

    world up in smoke and go up in smoke

    with it, smoke right from the pit of hell.

    7-10This is scary: You can tame a ger,

    but you cant tame a tongueits never

    been done. The tongue runs wild, a

    wanton killer. With our tongues we

    bless God our Father; with the same

    tongues we curse the very men and

    women he made in his image. Curses

    and blessings out of the same mouth!10-12My friends, this cant go on. A spring

    doesnt gush fresh water one day and

    brackish the next, does it? Apple trees

    dont bear strawberries, do they?

    Raspberry bushes dont bear apples,do they? Youre not going to dip into

    a polluted mud hole and get a cup of

    clear, cool water, are you?

    Almighty and Most Merciful Father,we come before You, acknowledging

    our sins, our shortcomings, and our

    breaking of our Covenant with You.

    Not only have we done things we

    ought not to have done, said things

    we ought not to have said, le undone

    so many things we ought to have done

    and been silent when we should have

    witnessed for You.

    Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but we have also closed our eyes and pretended

    not to see the injusces, the racism and the evil which pervade our everyday lives.

    We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear the cries for liberaon which come

    from the lips, lives and hearts of the oppressed even our own Black brothers and sisters!

    Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and faith, and keep us ever mindful of Thy great

    sacrice. Hear us, we beseech Thee, as we come to You in love and worship giving Your

    Name the praise forevermore.

    ******

    To All Our Visitors ... To all who mourn and need comforng ... To all who are

    friendless and want friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need liberaon;

    and to whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors. Thank you for coming, and

    may God bless you.

    Confession of Sins

  • 7/30/2019 Bulletin 010613

    9/28

    Minister: Tithing is the biblical principle of returning 10% to God rst.

    Congregaon: The earth is the Lords, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

    Minister: Debt is a spiritual issue. We are robbing Gods people when we live beyond our means, refuse

    to budget, invest, save, and the; we are seduced by debt.

    Congregaon: The land must not be sold permanently, because the land is Mine and you reside in my land as

    foreigners and strangers.

    Minister: Tithing, budgeng, and stewardship are the soluons to the spiritual problem of debt.

    Congregaon: Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.

    Minister: Debt is fed by the desire for immediate gracaon, poor planning, and the need to keep up

    appearances.

    Congregaon: His master replied, Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few

    things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your masters happiness!

    Minister: Tithing, saving, budgeng, and good stewardship of resources is the calling of all Chrisans.

    Congregaon: Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running

    over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    Minister: Debt slavery has been used since 1863 to prevent people of African descent from gaining

    power and independence.

    Congregaon: Share with the Lords people who are in need. Pracce hospitality.

    Minister: Our ancestors were forced into slavery. Today, we volunteer to be enslaved by debt and we

    mortgage our childrens future.

    Together: O God, we have been called to be a debt-free congregaon. We are called to teach our

    community, children, and grandchildren the discipline of thing, the power of budgeng,the blessing of saving, and the benet of invesng. We desire to live debt-free because it

    honors God and our ancestors, who died not for debt, but that we may live free with our God.

    Amen.

    EASY WAYS TO START YOUR NEW YEAR "GREEN"

    Lets resolve in 2013 to take a few small steps each monthtoward a greener, healthier lifestyle.

    Beat phantom power. Leaving appliances, such as cell phone chargers, coeemakers,

    televisions and computers, plugged into outlets and on standby uses a small amount

    of electricity. This is very real when paying your monthly bill. Unplug these appliances or

    switch them o at a power strip.

    Turn things o. Turn o the lights in empty rooms. Turn o the computer if it will be

    unused for more than two hours, and turn o the monitor if it will be unused for more

    than twenty minutes.

    Turn things down. Reduce the thermostat by two to ve degrees in winter.

    Avoid the burn. Choose a microwave or toaster oven over a regular oven. When youhave to use a regular oven, do not open the door to check cooking progress doing so

    lets out heat. When using the stove, match the pan or pot size to the stovetop element

    and keep a lid on the pan or pot to make cooking more ecient. Keep appliances clean.
