7:30 a.m.
GOD NEVER FAILS
Refrain
God never fails. God never fails.
He abides in me. He gives me victory.
No, God never fails! Just keep the faith,
And never cease to pray; just walk
Upright, call Him noon, day or night,
He’ll be there, he’ll be there, There’s
No need to worry, for God never fails!
Verse I
I never worry, I never fret; For God Almighty
Has never failed me yet. Though ‘buked and
Scorned, I know that I’ve been reborn,
For God never fails.
Repeat Refrain
Verse II
No need to worry, no need to cry; I’ve got my
Lord, I know He is on my side.
Daily I will trust, I never shall doubt Him,
For God never fails.

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS
Verse I
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they
Fail not, As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be.
Chorus
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided,
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
Verse II
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Repeat Chorus
Verse III
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Repeat Chorus

7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Isaiah 42:5–9 (NRSV)
5
Thus says God, the Lord, who created the
heavens and stretched them out, who spread out
the earth and what comes from it, who gives
breath to the people upon it and spirit to those
who walk in it: 6 I am the Lord, I have called you
in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand
and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to
the people, a light to the nations, 7 to open the
eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners
from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit
in darkness. 8 I am the Lord, that is my name; my
glory I give to no other, nor my praise to idols.

See, the former things have come to pass, and
new things I now declare; before they spring
forth, I tell you of them.
peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps
were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
6
Also before the throne there was what looked
like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center,
around the throne, were four living creatures,
and they were covered with eyes, in front and in
back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the
second was like an ox, the third had a face like a
man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.
8
Each of the four living creatures had six wings
and was covered with eyes all around, even under
his wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who
was, and is, and is to come.”

Revelation 4:1–8 (NIV)
1
After this I looked, and there before me was
a door standing open in heaven. And the voice
I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet
said, “Come up here, and I will show you what
must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the
Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven
with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat
there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian.
A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the
throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-
four other thrones, and seated on them were
twenty-four elders. They were dressed in white
and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the
throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and

 confession
of sins
A lmighty 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.

Pray For
Shadrach Nepfumbada
O
ur member, Shadrach Nepfumbada served
the South African Consulate for several
years here in the City of Chicago. Our member,
Shadrach, worshipped with us every Sunday.
The South African government posted him
back to South Africa when his term of service
was up here in Chicago. Our thoughts, our
prayers and our love went with Shadrach as he
went back home.
Several of our members got to meet Shad-
rach’s mother (and father) when we were in
Venda, South Africa several years ago. Many
more of our members got to meet his mother
and father when Shadrach’s parents came to
spend time with him here in the City of Chicago
while he lived here.
We got news last month of Shadrach’s mother
being placed in hospice care. As she prepares to
journey across the Jordan and into the Promised
Land, we ask you to keep Shadrach lifted up in
prayer.
We ask you to keep his mother in prayer. We
ask you to keep his father in prayer and we ask
you to keep his entire family in prayer.
Gratefully yours,
Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

 TO DO JUSTICE
by Rev. Reginald Williams, Jr.
T
oday, all across the state of Illinois,
churches are advocating for Universal
Health Care as part of the Health Care
Sabbath. The following facts are provided by
the Campaign for Better Health Care.
THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM—A LOOK AT ILLINOIS
15.8 % (1.75 MILLION) OF ILLINOIS
RESIDENTS ARE UNEMPLOYED:
Although this number is down 0.4% since 2002,
it indicates that a significant portion of Illinois
residents are in dire need of health insurance. The
uninsured are not just located in Chicago; health
care coverage is a problem across the state:
• 25.8% of Chicago residents are uninsured
• 13.2% of Metro Chicago residents are
uninsured
• 13.9% of Downstate residents are
uninsured
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE POOR TO BE
UNINSURED IN ILLINOIS: Although it
is a common thought that only poor residents
of Illinois are uninsured, statistical studies from
2004 indicate that residents in a wide range of
yearly incomes are still unable to afford health
insurance. The following indicates the number
of uninsured people, based on their yearly
income (Residents under the age 65).
Communion Sunday, November 4, 2007 10 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
12% OF ILLINOIS CHILDREN (UNDER
AGE 18) ARE UNINSURED: These children
are not receiving preventative care or regular
check-ups, making it more likely that they will
become ill; thus, giving them a higher risk of
death at a younger age. In addition, 27% of
young adults (19–29) are uninsured, unable to
afford their own health care coverage.
A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF
THE UNINSURED ARE FULL TIME
EMPLOYEES:
Another common mistake is assuming that
people who work full time are covered. As
health insurance becomes more expensive,
having a full time job doesn’t guarantee that
you can afford health care or that your business
will cover you.
• 19.3% of full time workers in Chicago are
uninsured
• 13.0% of full time workers in the Metro area
are uninsured
• 11.4% of full time workers downstate are
uninsured
SMALL BUSINESSES CAN’T AFFORD
TO COVER EMPLOYEES: As healthcare
costs increase, small businesses are finding it
harder to provide health insurance for their
workers. The following statistics indicate the
percentage of uninsured, full-time workers for
businesses with fewer than 25 employees:
• 88,946 (35.2%) small business employees in
Chicago are uninsured
 Order
TO DO
ofJUSTICE
Worship
• 157,341 (21.9%) small business employees in the metro area are uninsured
• 94,446 (22.7%) small business employees downstate are uninsured
The facts relayed above display the extent to which this country’s priorities are misplaced. More focus is
placed on wars that kill, and oil to steal, than a heath care system to heal. Contact your representatives,
and urge them to make health care for all the priority for the people of Illinois.

ACTION ITEMS
1. DO NOT SHOP AT WAL-MART OR SAM’S CLUB.

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

 STEWARDSHIP

the results of a Redeemed LifE

DON’T FALL BACK
Whether it is beginning in springtime or ending in the fall, changes in daylight
savings time can be very disorienting. Apart from the inconvenience of having
to change clocks, there’s the trouble of changing your wake-up time. Also,
depending on your schedule, having to work or commute during the darkness
can be hard to get used to.

Remembering to change the clocks is important (I’ve missed church services

at least twice because I forgot), but at least it is easy to remember what to do
when it’s time. There’s an old saying: “Spring forward, fall back.” Clocks need
to be set an hour later in the springtime, and an hour earlier in the fall.

Sometimes, starting Christian stewardship can be disorienting, too. Getting

used to spending time volunteering, instead of relaxing, isn’t easy. Neither
is giving money that we’d normally spend on ourselves. Possibly risking
embarrassment by speaking or performing in front of others can be terribly
difficult for some people.

But, we can do it, if we try hard enough. We can “spring forward” to

rearrange our lives to serve Christ and make this world a better place. (And,
we must remember not to “fall back” into old habits).

Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry
