ORDER OF WORSHIP
Hymn of Praise
GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
Go tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and evrywhere, Go tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born.
Chorus
While shepherds kept their watching Oer silent flocks by night, Behold, Throughout the heavens, there shone a Holy light.
Verse 1
The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth, rang out the Angel chorus, that hailed our Saviors birth.
Verse 2
Down in a lowly manger, the humble Christ was born, and God sent us Salvation, that blessed Christmas morn.

Unison Scriptures
JOHN 1:1-5, 14 (NIV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through 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.

My 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?

UNISON SCRIPTURES
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
This is scary: You can tame a tiger, 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!
7-10
Confession of Sins
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, left 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 injustices, the racism and the evil which pervade our everyday lives. We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear the cries for liberation 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 sacrifice. 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 comforting ... To all who are friendless and want friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need liberation; and to whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors. Thank you for coming, and may God bless you.

Faith Communities and High School Screening Opportunities for The House I Live In
Charlotte Street Films and the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference have partnered to host screenings of The House I Live In, an award winning documentary film that dissects the War on Drugs through insightful interviews with every aspect of the transactional cycle: drug abuser, dealer, police officer, prosecutor, judge, and corrections officer. The House I Live In delivers an emotional reality - The War on Drugs is an abject failure, destroying lives, families and communities, and people of conscious should be outraged and recognize the need for immediate change to this cornerstone in the epidemic of mass incarceration in America. Presented as 2013 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Commemorative Events, if you are member of a faith institution, a high school administrator, or activist student, details of the screening opportunities are as follows: For Faith Communities - National Screenings, Saturday, January 12, 2013. To register, visit http://tinyurl.com/SDPCFaithScreening For High Schools - National Screenings, Friday, January 18, 2013.

EASY WAYS TO START YOUR NEW YEAR "GREEN" Lets resolve in 2013 to take a few small steps each month toward a greener, healthier lifestyle.
Beat phantom power. Leaving appliances, such as cell phone chargers, coffeemakers, 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 off at a power strip. Turn things off. Turn off the lights in empty rooms. Turn off the computer if it will be unused for more than two hours, and turn off the monitor if it will be unused for more than twenty minutes. Turn things down. Reduce the thermostat by two to five degrees in winter. Avoid the burn. Choose a microwave or toaster oven over a regular oven. When you have 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 efficient. Keep appliances clean.
