IN THE GARDEN
Verse I
I come to the garden alone,
While the dew is still on the roses;
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
Verse II
He speaks, and the sound of His voice is so sweet
The birds hush their singing;
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse III
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling;
But He bids me go, through the voice of woe,
His voice to me is calling.
(Repeat Chorus)
 UNISON SCRIPTUREs
7:30 a.m.
EXODUS 5:1–5 (The Message)
1
After that Moses and Aaron approached
Pharaoh. They said, “God, the God of Israel,
says, ‘Free my people so that they can hold a
festival for me in the wilderness.’” 2 Pharaoh said,
“And who is God that I should listen to him and
send Israel off? I know nothing of this so-called
‘God’ and I’m certainly not going to send Israel
off.” 3 They said, “The God of the Hebrews has
met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into
the wilderness so we can worship our God lest he
strike us with either disease or death.” 4–5 But the
king of Egypt said, “Why on earth, Moses and
Aaron, would you suggest the people be given a
holiday? Back to work!” Pharaoh went on,
“Look, I’ve got all these people bumming
around, and now you want to reward them with
time off?”

John 7:32/37–38/40–46 (KJV)
32
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured
such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and
the chief priests sent officers to take him.
37
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus
stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him
come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on
me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water.
40
Many of the people therefore, when they heard
this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said,
Shall Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Hath not the
scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of
David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where
David was? 43 So there was a division among the
people because of him. 44 And some of them
would have taken him; but no man laid hands on
him. 45 Then came the officers to the chief priests
and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have
ye not brought him? 46 The officers answered,
Never man spake like this man.

neither before nor after you spoke to me. I stutter
and stammer.” 11–12 God said, “And who do you

GOYA LOPES:
THE AFRICAN DIASPORA IN BRAZIL
Please join us for an exclusive evening reception and art exhibition with
Brazilian artist Goya Lopes.

GOYA LOPES: The African Diaspora in Brazil

through February 29, 2008
Opening Reception: January 30, 2008, 5 – 8 p.m. with Artist Talk at 6 p.m.

Panel Discussion:
The African Diaspora: Looking Back to Move Forward
January 30, 2008, 1:30 – 3:30 p.m., 1104 S. Wabash Ave, Room 402

Moderator Dr. Stephanie Shonekan (Columbia College) and panelists Dr. Glennon
Graham (Columbia College), Dr. Cadence Wynter (Columbia College), Dr. Carol Lee
(Northwestern), and Dr. Maria de Lourdes Siqueria (Brazil) will discuss the historical,
social and political trajectories of Africa and the African diaspora.
As part of Columbia College Chicago’s annual African Heritage Celebration,
Columbia’s [C]Spaces and Liberal Education department present the exhibition
Goya Lopes: The African Diaspora in Brazil. Goya Lopes uses textile design as the primary medium to create
the story of the various African cultures and experiences transported to Brazil during the period of the slave
trade. With the use of large swaths of hand-stamped cloth, Lopes will present a visual timeline beginning
with the first enslaved Africans brought to Brazil and concluding with today’s diverse and flourishing
diaspora.
The African diaspora is global, yet each country’s experience has been distinct. Artists have played a vital
role in preserving and passing down the history from generation to generation. In Bahia, Brazil,
Goya Lopes is one such artist.

Goya Lopes: The African Diaspora in Brazil is part of Columbia College’s ongoing, institution-wide
initiative, Critical Encounters. This year’s Critical Encounters focus is Poverty and Privilege. The College
has chosen this focus as a way of questioning the complex myths and realities that arise out of our cultural
and social beliefs about those who have and those who have not.

 STEWARDSHIP

the results of a Redeemed LifE

IT’S THE MONEY

R
ecently, a friend of mine asked the question, “Would you believe me, if
I told you that our Lord spoke about money more than any other one
thing?” My first reaction was, “He wouldn’t do a thing like that! He was
too spiritual.”
Remember the parables of the lost coin, the laborers of the vineyard, the rich
fool, the talents, the hidden treasure, the unjust steward, the pearl of great price,
the two debtors, the rich man and the beggar? And, of course, the parable of the
Good Samaritan who paid a victim’s motel bill? Remember Jesus’ encounter with
the rich young ruler, “sell all you have,” and the Prodigal Son who demanded his
inheritance; and Zacchaeus, who made grandiose promises about his ill-gotten
wealth? Or, remember his discussion about paying taxes to the temple and to
Caesar, or even his actions in driving the money changers out of the temple? Isn’t
it strange, or is it very natural, that our Lord should find stewardship such an
interesting topic? Ever wonder why?
When someone tells me, “It ain’t the money, but the principle of the thing…”
it’s the money. A church is guided by principle, but run with money. Everyone’s
support helps a church to be effective.

Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry
