SIYAHAMBA/WE ARE MARCHING

whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and un e. 8I bap ze you with water, but he will bap ze you with the Holy Spirit.

11:00 a.m. 6:00 p.m.

NEHEMIAH 2:17-20 Then I said to them, You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with re. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace. 18I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, Let us start rebuilding. So they began this good work. 19But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite ocial and Geshem the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us. What is this you are doing? they asked. Are you rebelling against the king? 20I answered them by saying, The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding, but as for you, you have no share in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it. NEHEMIAH 3:22, 28-29 (NIV) The repairs next to him were made by the priests from the surrounding region. Above the Horse Gate, the priests made repairs, each in front of his own house. 29Next to them, Zadok son of Immer made repairs opposite his house. Next to him, Shemaiah son of Shecaniah, the guard at the East Gate, made repairs. NEHEMIAH 4:6 (NIV)

GENESIS 1:26 (NIV)
26 Then God said, Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the sh of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.

MARK 1:4-11 (NIV) And so John came, bap zing in the desert region and preaching a bap sm of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were bap zed by him in the Jordan River. 6John wore clothing made of camels hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7And this was his message: A er me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of

SERMON NOTES & PRAYER CONCERNS

For our struggle is not against esh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

To our Brothers and Sisters of the African Na onal Congress,

In the town of Bloimfontein, South Africa, on January 8th, 1912, a movement was launched to increase the rights of black South Africans as the South African Na ve Na onal Congress was formed. This group became the African Na onal Congress (ANC) in 1923 and you con nued to ght for libera on un l the apartheid system was nally dismantled and free elec ons were held in 1994, as Nelson Mandela was sworn in on April 27th as South Africas president.

Today we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the ANC!

Just as our own Civil Rights Movement was led by youth, the ANC, during the 1940s, departed from their ini al conserva ve approach as the ANC Youth League was formed and led by Walter Sisulu, Oliver Tambo and Nelson Mandela. The movement soon adopted an ideology of African na onalism and began a Programme of Ac on calling for strikes, boyco s and deance.

The ANC led one of the great movements of our me. From crushing oppression and colonialism, through ever more restric ve apartheid laws that dened racial castes and privilege, restricted free movement, prohibited mixed marriages, and mandated separate educa on systems, the ANC was a pillar of strength and source of pride for all of Africa . . . and for all Africans in Diaspora. As one of the churches to sound the clarion call for an end to apartheid and white rule, in 1977 we stood with you and put out a Free South Africa sign. Through the years that followed, Trinity UCC called for dis-investment in companies that did business in South Africa to put pressure on the regime; and, in 1994, we celebrated with you, as the world welcomed President Mandela as a new symbol of Dr. Kings admoni on that, the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards jus ce. On behalf of the congrega on of Trinity UCC, we extend congratula ons on the wonderful occasion of your 100th Anniversary.

May God keep the res of justice burning hot within your hearts as you continue the ght for a j g just society.

2012 Trinity UCC Theme Walking, Talking and Living Our Faith, Ephesians 4 (NLT)
January Ephesians 4:1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. February Ephesians 4:2 Always be humble and gentle. Be pa ent with each other, making allowance for each others faults because of your love. March Ephesians 4:3 Make every eort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. April Ephesians 4:4 For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. May Ephesians 4:5-6 There is one Lord, one faith, one bap sm, and one God and Father, who is over all and in all and living through all. June Ephesians 4:7 However, he has given each one of us a special gi through the generosity of Christ. July Ephesians 4:11 Now these are the gi s Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. August Ephesians 4:12 Their responsibility is to equip Gods people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. September Ephesians 4:13 This will con nue un l we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of Gods Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. October Ephesians 4:14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We wont be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be inuenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. November Ephesians 4:15-16 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body t together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. December Ephesians 31-32 Get rid of all bi erness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be at your back. May the sunlight of Jesus Christ grace your cheek, And may rain gently fall upon your eld. May God keep you in the hollow of Gods Hand un l we meet again.

Go in peace.
