7:30 a.m.
MARK 8:34-38 (NRSV)
34 He called the crowd with his disciples,
and said to them, "If any want to become my
followers, let them deny themselves and take
up their cross and follow me. 35 For those
who want to save their life will lose it, and
those who lose their life for my sake, and for
the sake of the gospel, will save it. 36 For
what will it profit them to gain the whole
world and forfeit their life? 37 Indeed, what
can they give in return for their life? 38 Those
who are ashamed of me and of my words in
this adulterous and sinful generation, of them
the Son of Man will also be ashamed when he
comes in the glory of his Father with the holy
angels."

PSALM 118:5-9 (NRSV)
5 Out of my distress I called on the
LORD; the LORD answered me and set me in
a broad place. 6 With the LORD on my side I
do not fear. What can mortals do to me? 7 The
LORD is on my side to help me; I shall look
in triumph on those who hate me. 8 It is better
to take refuge in the LORD than to put

ISAIAH 58:6-9b (NRSV)
6 Is not this the fast that I choose: to
loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the
thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go
free, and to break every yoke? 7 Is it not to
share your bread with the hungry, and
bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover them,
and not to hide yourself from your own
kin? 8 Then your light shall break forth
like the dawn, and your healing shall
spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go
before you, the glory of the LORD shall be
your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and
the LORD will answer; you shall cry for
help, and he will say, Here I am.

 PASTOR’S PAGE
YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU!
Last Sunday, January 23rd, was what the
school teachers would call a “Snow Day” for
your church. Less than half the members were
able to dig out of the snow dumped on us
Friday and Saturday and to get to worship on
Sunday.
That means that less than half of the offerings
we need to do the work of ministry that God
has called us to do were brought into the
House of God last week. As I indicated in my
“State of the Church” message during the
Annual Meeting of the congregation, we
cannot sustain that kind of “hit” and carry out
the ministry that God has given us.
Your church needs you to put in last Sunday’s
offering and this Sunday’s offering today!
Your church needs you to keep the promises
that you gave to God when it comes to
stewardship. Your church needs you to be
faithful in order for the church to be what
Christ called it to be.
Can I count on you? Can God count on you?
Can your church count on you? The larger
question becomes: Can we be the church that
God called us to be?
In the words of the old African proverb: The
answer is in your hands!
What answer will you give God today?

Ministers for Economic and
Social Justice (MRSEJ)
The Chicago chapter of the UCC
Black clergy caucus (M MRSEJ) invites all UCC
Clergy and Laity to Kenwood UCC on
Monday evening, January 31, 2005 at 6 p.m. to
hear from the executive staff of Advocate
regarding a number of issues. MRSEJ has
asked, as we normally do, to have a "check-in"
with Advocate Health Care around specific
questions raised at the November 2004 MRSEJ
meeting.
It has been MRSEJ's history to invite
mission partners who impact our urban focus
to meet, sometimes annually, and address a
series of questions and to help us to be
partners in ministry and mission.
MRSEJ is the acronym for our Black
Clergy Caucus in the United Church of Christ.
It has a long and proud history which you
should know about. Members of the
congregation who have taken the Bible class,
"Black and Christian," already know these
facts.
Ministers For Racial, Social and
Economic Justice has a history of advocating
for "the least of these." MRSJ (The Ministers
for Racial and Social Justice) was the fore-
runner to the establishment of the Commission
For Racial Justice of the United Church of
CRJ) and was responsible for many
Christ (C
things in the progress of the UCC. Here are a
few of them:
1. MRSJ produced the first national body in
our denomination (C CRJ) which had a Black
executive and that led to having six executive
directors, at one time, who were heads of UCC
national bodies (or instrumentalities) and who
 PASTOR’S PAGE
were also "people of Color."
2. The Ministers for Racial and Social
MRSJ) wrote the UCC Pastoral Letter
Justice (M
on Racism.
3. MRSJ Supported Civil Rights through Dr.
Martin Luther King's SCLC and assisted in
getting Rev. Dr. Andrew Yong a UCC minister
appointed Execuive VP of SCLC.
4. MRSJ gave full support, staff time and
national educational team to the support of
releasing of the Wilmington Ten. Ben Chavis
became known because he was one of the
Wilmington Ten.
5. MRSJ organized the first successful floor
fight at the General Synod of the United
Church of Christ to replace an incumbent
Officer with the first African American
National Elected Officer as National Secretary
of the UCC.
6. MRSJ assisted in writing the first call for
the UCC to be an Affirmative Action and EEO
employer.
7. MRSJ assisted in writing and getting over
twenty General Synod resolutions and
pronouncements passed dealing with racial,
criminal, environmental and economic justice.
8. MRSJ helped the Hispanic Causus to
organize through CRJ and also helped it to
receive funding.
9. MRSJ helped to establish COREM, The
Council On Racial and Ethnic Ministries of the
UCC.
10. MRSJ helped to get the 17/76 Fund
Sunday, January 30, 2005 7 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
established which was the first UCC National
Capital Campaign to support the historic black
colleges and universities related to the United
Church of Christ.
11. MRSJ assisted in the restructuring of the
UCC to insure that all racial and ethnic special
interest groups were represented at all levels of
the structre of the Board of Directors of the
Covenanted Ministries.
12. MRSJ (in 1970) assisted in the
establishment of United Black Christians
UBC), the black lay caucus of the United
(U
Church of Christ.
In keeping with Dr. King's shift to a
push for economic justice, MRSJ changed its
name officially to MRSEJ. MRSEJ has
always been a clergy organization that was
open to all clergy/In-care students who decided
that the goals and objectives of the
organization were in harmony with their own
faith journies. It has been and remains the
only national clergy organization in the UCC
and still is a multi-racial organization with
membership open to all UCC/Disciples of
Christ, Christian Church ministers who are
seeking the causes of doing justice.
We look forward to a great gathering
of the faithful family of UCC folk on Monday,
January 31, 2005, 6 p.m., at Kenwood UCC.
Please come and spread the word that all are
invited.
Tsunami Relief
Although the news media has focused
primarily on Southeast Asia as the primary
target of the tsunami which hit the day after
 PASTOR’S PAGE
Christmas 2004, East Africa and South Africa
were also hit in a very bad way! In Somalia,
the death toll was over 40,000 in the last news
item I read. (A news item, incidentally, in an
independent media and not the corporate
controlled media that only focuses on what big
business and its owners say it can focus on.)
The effects of the tsunami caused the
loss of life and property as far south as South
Africa (off the Indian ocean). Have you seen
any news articles or television specials
covering that part of the black world?
Even in the face of such an
overwhelming human tragedy, racism still
rears its ugly head. Why no coverage of
Somalia? Why no pictures of the devastation
there? Why just the luxury Islands of Phulet
and Phi Phi? Black Africans were wiped out
just as instantly as Asians in Thailand and
Indonesia, but black African deaths are not
newsworthy. Otherwise, we would be kept
abreast of the black African deaths caused by
the genocide in Darfur and Sudan.
The massacres and the genocide in
Rwanda would not have happened had the
media kept the images before the world; but I
digress. Below is information from our
denomination as to how you can help bring
relief to those families who were hit by the
tsunami.
Pastor Jeremiah A Wright, Jr.
Dear JPANet Member,
On December 26th, 12 Southeast Asian and
African countries were hit with one of the
Sunday, January 30, 2005 8 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
worst natural disasters in history. The tsunami
that was caused by an earthquake off the coast
of Indonesia has leveled whole communities
across Southeast Asia. Thus far, over 500,000
have been seriously injured and millions are
homeless. More than 150,000 have died, with
the toll expected to rise. The devastation
caused by the tsunami has in many ways
exacerbated longstanding economic and social
challenges in the region. It is another sobering
reminder of the importance of our ongoing
advocacy for fair and just U.S. policy
throughout the world, particularly as it affects
those on the margins of the global economy.
In response to these horrific events, the United
Church of Christ has created a Tsunami Relief
Fund in order to help support the relief and
recovery work being organized by Church
World Service and other UCC global partners.
The UCC has announced a goal to raise
$800,000 for relief and rehabilitation efforts.
Initial support of $93,000 came from the One
Great Hour of Sharing offering. For those
still wondering how you can help, please
consider doing one of the following:
1. Make a gift payable to your UCC
congregation, marked for "Tsunami Relief" in
the memo portion, to be sent to your
Conference Office for recording and
forwarding on to Wider Church Ministries.
2. Send direct gifts payable to Wider Church
Ministries, marked in the memo portion "Asia
Tsunami Relief," and send to Wider Church
Ministries, 700 Prospect Avenue, Cleveland,
OH 44115.
3. Make a secure on-line donation now by
visiting:

92&l=74227
Remember to keep the millions of people
impacted by this tragedy in your prayers and
keep your eyes open for upcoming JPANet
weekly actions as the 109th Congress sets to
begin its work.
Thank you for your help!
On January 24th, the “Oprah Show” did a
special on the suffering of the tsunami and on
the suffering of Black women (and men) in the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. Rape is
used as the weapon of choice against Black
women in the Congo! 4 million have died in
the Congo just as over 1 million were killed in
Rwanda.
The world at large has ignored Rwanda just as
it is ignoring genocide taking place in the
Sudan. The world at large knows nothing
about the Congo (or at least they didn’t until
Oprah lifted it up), and Oprah raised the
question, “Why is it that no one knows?” The
response was, “Because this is Africa.
Because these are Black people and because
they don’t count!”
Unfortunately, the same mentality has been
driving the media coverage of the tsunami and
the suffering caused by the tsunami in
Samalia, Kenya and Tanzania.
One of the mission bodies whom we have
supported for a quarter of a century, the Lott
Carey Convention, sent out an appeal for the
victims of the tsunami earlier this month. In
that appeal (made by an African American
organization) there was no mention of the
Sunday, January 30, 2005
African countries affected by the tsunami and
as soon as I read it, I fired off a letter to the
Executive Director, Dr. David Goatley. Below
is Dr. Goatley’s response. At least somebody
“gets it!”
20 January 2005
Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., Senior Pastor
Trinity United Church of Christ
400 W. 95th Street
Chicago, IL 60628-1120
Dear Jeremiah:
Thank you for your letter addressing
the absence of reference to African victims of
the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Your note of my
omission is well taken.
We will be directing resources to
African victims of the disaster in collaboration
with the All Africa Conference of Churches
with whom we have partnership around
continental-wide support for HIV/AIDS
prevention, treatment and care. They are
having a press conference on 21 January 2005
in Nairobi to unfold their fact-finding visits
and strategies for support and presence in
Somalia, Kenya and Tanzania.
My struggle was to communicate
rapidly with the information at hand. This
haste, however, left a gaping hole in my
appeal. Thanks, again for raising this problem
that I should have recognized earlier. Thanks,
also, for your partnership in this ministry.
On mission with Christ,
David Emmanuel Goatley

Daryl Thomas Brings Back the Gold!
Last year at the end of the year, one of
our members, Daryl Thomas, asked for your
help. Daryl was the “miracle child” who lost
his hearing, but who continued to be an
excellent athlete and a star in the arena of
basketball.
In 1999, Daryl was the First Team All-
Star Center at the United States of America’s
Deaf Sports Federation Team, leading his team
to the National Championship. In 2001, he
was the Most Valuable Player and the First
Team All-Star Center, repeatedly leading his
teams to National Championships in both 2001
and 2002.
In 2004 he was, again, the First Team
All-Star Center and was also selected to go to
the Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, and
play with the United States of America’s
Men’s Deaflympics Basketball Team. Each
team member, however, had to raise his own
money for airfare, for accommodations and for
all of the incidentals pertaining to the trip to
Australia.
You, the members of Trinity made
Daryl’s trip possible! Because of your
kindness and your faithfulness, Daryl not only
went to Australia, Daryl’s team won First
Place in the Olympics! Daryl brought home
the Gold!
Daryl, Simone and Amani want to
thank you for your support and for your love
and your prayers. Daryl is a Special Education
teacher at the Nancy B. Jefferson Alternative
School.
Go With God !
In the Spanish language, when persons
part from each other they say, “Vaya Con
Dios!” That very beautiful saying when
translated into English means, “Go With God.”
The word “goodbye” is a contraction
from the English language (hundreds of years
Sunday, January 30, 2005 10
ago) and it contracts the sentence, “God be
with you.” Actually, it is saying, “God be
with ye!”
In both English and Spanish the
parting words are invoking the presence of
God in the lives of those loved ones who are
leaving us and going away from us. That is
the prayer and that is the expression that we
extend today to Rosalie Metcalfe and to
Deacon Andre Ward and his family.
Rosalie is getting married next week
and moving back to Swartz Creek, Michigan.
Rosalie has served our church faithfully ever
since she moved into the Chicago area.
Rosalie has served me personally as
her work with United Airlines has enabled her
to help me with flights and with reservations
when I was told there were none! Rosalie has
been seen Sunday after Sunday serving with
the Usher Ministry for over ten years!
We praise God for her marriage and
we praise God for this new phase in her life
which will be a blessing; but we will miss her
tremendously! To Rosalie we say, “Go with
God and may God be with you!”
Deacon Andre Ward and his wife,
Kathy, are moving this week to Akron, Ohio.
Mrs. Kathy Ward is from Akron. Her family
still lives there.
Deacon Ward first came to our church
because of his position in the area of security.
He was the top notch security person for one
of the major downtown buildings and his
diligence and excellence caught the eye of our
Long Range Planning Ministry. Since he has
been here, however, he moved from security to
spirituality!
Andre is one of our “spirited deacons.”
He, Ray McDaniel and I are the “steppers” in
the Deacon Ministry. His faithfulness in
visiting the sick and in comforting the
bereaved have blessed our church
tremendously!
To Andre and Kathy we also say, “Go
with God and may God be with you!” Please
be sure to give our loved ones a Holy hug this
Sunday and wish them well as they leave us
for new fields of service and new phases in
their lives.
