 UNISON SCRIPTURE
7:30 a.m.
JOHN 12:27-37 (NRSV)
27 “Now my soul is troubled. And what should
I say - 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it
is for this reason that I have come to this hour.
28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice
came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I
will glorify it again." 29 The crowd standing
there heard it and said that it was thunder.
Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30 Jesus answered, "This voice has come for
your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the
judgment of this world; now the ruler of this
world will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am
lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to
myself." 33 He said this to indicate the kind of
death he was to die. 34 The crowd answered
him, "We have heard from the law that the
Messiah remains forever. How can you say that
the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this
Son of Man?" 35 Jesus said to them, "The
light is with you for a little longer. Walk while
you have the light, so that the darkness may
not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness,
you do not know where you are going.
36 While you have the light, believe in the
light, so that you may become children of
light." After Jesus had said this, he departed
and hid from them. 37 Although he had
performed so many signs in their presence,
they did not believe in him.
11:00 a.m.
JOHN 12:38-43 (NRSV)
38 This was to fulfill the word spoken by the
prophet Isaiah: "Lord, who has believed our
Palm Sunday, March 20, 2005 3 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
message, and to whom has the arm of the Lord
been revealed?" 39 And so they could not
believe, because Isaiah also said, 40 "He has
blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so
that they might not look with their eyes, and
understand with their heart and turn - and I
would heal them." 41 Isaiah said this because
he saw his glory and spoke about him.
42 Nevertheless many, even of the authorities,
believed in him. But because of the Pharisees
they did not confess it, for fear that they would
be put out of the synagogue; 43 for they loved
human glory more than the glory that comes
from God.
6:00 p.m.
JOHN 12:12-19 (NRSV)
12 The next day the great crowd that had come
to the festival heard that Jesus was coming to
Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm
trees and went out to meet him, shouting,
"Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the
name of the Lord - the King of Israel!"
14 Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it;
as it is written: 15 "Do not be afraid, daughter
of Zion. Look, your king is coming, sitting on
a donkey's colt!" 16 His disciples did not
understand these things at first; but when Jesus
was glorified, then they remembered that these
things had been written of him and had been
done to him. 17 So the crowd that had been
with him when he called Lazarus out of the
tomb and raised him from the dead continued
to testify. 18 It was also because they heard
that he had performed this sign that the crowd
went to meet him. 19 The Pharisees then said
to one another, "You see, you can do nothing.
Look, the world has gone after him!"

SUPPORT THE REAL ACT
Dear Trinity Member,
The Responsible Education About Life
(REAL) Act, S 368/HR 768, was introduced in
Congress in February to address the
unbalanced and misleading approach to
sexuality education currently being taken by
the Bush Administration. Since 1996, tax
dollars have been used to fund "abstinence-
only-until-marriage" sexuality programs. In
his 2006 budget, the President has requested
$206 million for narrowly-focused, often
 PASTOR’S PAGE
medically inaccurate programs.
Many of the current, federally-funded
programs contain errors, distortions and
stereotypes. The programs are prohibited from
discussing contraceptives unless they are
portrayed as ineffective. The programs may
not talk about reproductive choice or sexual
orientation.
The REAL Act would allow states and
local communities to choose what type of
sexuality education they want to provide. A
Kaiser Family Foundation poll shows that 93
percent of Americans support teaching
comprehensive sexuality education in high
schools, and 83 percent of Americans support
teaching comprehensive sexuality education in
middle/junior high schools.
Information is power. Education makes
for better choices. There are resources that
provide responsible, comprehensive, age-
appropriate, accurate and value-based human
sexuality education. The Our Whole Lives
curriculum, published by the United Church of
Christ and the Unitarian Universalist
Association, is widely regarded as one of the
best age-span resources available. Through such
resources, children and youth are provided with
information grounded in the values of self-
worth, responsibility, sexual health, justice and
inclusivity. This information can help save lives.
Sex is everywhere - our children and
youth see it on TV, on the Internet, in
magazines and in music. Parents and
caregivers are asking for help in teaching
about our precious gift of human sexuality,
and most do not want sexuality education
based on fear, shame and misinformation.
Contact your members of Congress
and urge them to cosponsor the REAL Act, if
they have not yet done so. To send a fax or e-

CONGRATULATIONS TO
EBONEE DAWSON!
On my anniversary Sunday, I
shared with the congregation during all
three services Ebonee Dawson's 16-year-
old world-view with the congregation.
When I read her Academic Decathlon
speech, I was impressed.
I wanted you, our members, to hear
what a 16-year-old thought. I have some
additional good news for you.
Ebonee received a perfect score of
1,000 for her speech! Her school, the
Chicago High School of Agricultural
Science, placed second in the state, but
Ebonee won first place for her
presentation!
Our thanksgiving is given on this
Sunday to Deacon Jiles for giving Ebonee
some pointers. Our thanksgiving is given
this Sunday to Ebonee for being a teenager
with Christian convictions.
Most of all, our thanksgiving is
given this Sunday to God for blessing us
with a teenager like Ebonee in our midst.
Be sure to give her a "high five" today.
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
Pastor Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

JOINT ECUMENICAL
STATEMENT ON BUSH'S 2006
FEDERAL BUDGET
Tuesday, March 08, 2005
[Episcopal News Service]
We are preachers, and so, in
explaining our opposition to the 2006
Federal Budget that President Bush has
sent to Congress, it seems only fitting that
we should begin with Scripture.
There was a rich man who was
dressed in purple and fine linen and who
feasted sumptuously every day. And at his
gate lay a poor man named Lazarus,
covered with sores, who longed to satisfy
his hunger with what fell from the rich
man's table; even the dogs would come
and lick his sores. The poor man died and
was carried away by the angels to be with
Abraham. The rich man also died and was
buried. In Hades, where he was being
tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham
far away with Lazarus by his side. He
called out, "Father Abraham, have mercy
on me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of
his finger in water and cool my tongue; for
I am in agony in these flames."
The passage comes from the
16th chapter of the Gospel according to
Luke, and it contains a warning that should
deeply trouble those of us who live in a
wealthy nation. As the story continues, the
rich man implores Abraham to raise
Lazarus from the dead and send him to the
house of his brothers so that they may be
spared his torment.
Palm Sunday, March 20, 2005 8 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
"They have Moses and the
prophets," Abraham replies. "They should
listen to them." The rich man says, "No,
father Abraham; but if someone goes to
them from the dead, they will repent." And
Abraham answers, "If they do not listen to
Moses and the prophets, neither will they
be convinced even if someone rises from
the dead."
In telling this story, Jesus
makes clear that perpetrating economic
injustice is among the gravest of sins. Yet
self-interest is so deeply ingrained in each
one of us, He says, that we will not
renounce it, even should someone rise
from the dead. Jesus was right about that.
It was He who rose from the dead to save
us from greed and myriad other sins. Yet
those who have much continue feasting,
even as those who have little remain at
their gates.
Like many Americans, we
read our daily newspaper through the lens
of faith, and when we see injustice, it is
our duty to say so. The 2006 Federal
Budget that President Bush has sent to
Capitol Hill is unjust. It has much for the
rich man and little for Lazarus. According
to the White House's own numbers, this
budget would move 300,000 people off
food stamps in the next five years. It
would cut the funds that allow 300,000
children to receive day care. It would
reduce funding for Medicaid by $45 billion
over the next ten years, and this at a time
when 45 million Americans - the highest
level on record - are already without health
insurance.
 PASTOR’S PAGE
These cuts would be alarming
in any circumstances, but in the context of
the 2006 budget, they are especially
troubling. For even as it reduces aid to
those in poverty, this budget showers
presents on the rich. If passed in its
current form, it would make permanent tax
cuts that have bestowed nearly three-
quarters of the "relief" on one-fifth of the
county. If passed in its current form, it
would include whopping new cuts that
would benefit, almost exclusively, those
with household incomes of more than
$200,000 per year. If passed in its current
form, it would take Jesus' teaching on
economic justice and stand it on its head.
Some contend that these cuts
will stimulate the economy and improve
life for all Americans, but we believe that
stocking the rich man's larder is a peculiar
strategy for getting Lazarus more food.
Not only does this policy rest on dubious
economic assumptions, but it asks the poor
to pay the cost for a prosperity in which
they may never share.
Some contend that works of
mercy are not the business of the
government but of private citizens. But in
what other area of our national life do we
formulate policies uninformed by our
deepest values?
Some contend that with the
proper support faith-based charities will
step forward to fill the gap created by the
government's retreat. But this flies in the
face of the lessons that we, as religious
leaders, have learned first hand. Our
Palm Sunday, March 20, 2005 9 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
churches operate thousands of charities
from the parochial to the international.
Believe us when we tell you that neither
we, nor our Evangelical brothers and
sisters, nor our friends of other faiths have
anywhere near the resources to turn back
the rising tide of poverty in this country.
We know that programs, whether
governmental or non-profit, can change
people's lives for the better. New
situations challenge us to respond to new
conditions and to support those who are in
transition out of poverty. Sadly, the 2006
budget will send more people searching
for food in cupboards that, quite
frequently, are bare.
Our churches will continue
their ameliorative ministries. But it is not
enough for us as a Church or a society to
be merciful. We must remember the
admonition of the prophet Micah, “And
what does the Lord require of you but to
do justice, and to love mercy and to walk
humbly with your God?” Micah's choice
of verbs is instructive. We are not to love
justice or preach justice, we are to do
justice - to act, and, when necessary, to
struggle.
We urge the members of our
churches, of other churches and other
faiths, and all whose conscience compels
them to do justice to join us in opposing
this budget. Write to your representatives.
Write to your local newspaper. Join the
organizations working to obtain justice for
the 36 million Americans living below the
poverty line, the 45 million without health
 PASTOR’S PAGE
insurance and the unknown millions
struggling to keep their families from
slipping into these ever increasing ranks.
Together, let us pledge ourselves to
creating a nation in which economic
policies are infused with the spirit of the
man who began his public ministry almost
2,000 years ago by proclaiming that God
had anointed Him "to bring good news to
the poor."

ANOTHER SNEAKY
CONGRESSIONAL MOVE!
The biblical call to be stewards of
God's creation has led people of many faith
traditions to oppose opening the pristine
Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil or gas
exploration. This national treasure, an
ecosystem virtually in its original form, is
currently under threat by a backdoor
maneuver in the Senate to slip a drilling
proposal into the budget process, thus
avoiding full debate.
ANWR has been successfully
defeated in Congress over the past several
years. However, if the Senate and House
proponents of drilling in the Arctic are
successful in inserting the drilling proposal
into this year's budget, it cannot be debated.
Opponents, including both
Republicans and Democrats, contend that a
measure which constitutes major policy
change such as the drilling proposal deserves
full debate and a vote on its own merits.
Let your senators know that you
oppose opening ANWR to drilling and
development, and further oppose any attempt
to slip major policy decisions past the
American public. To send an e-mail
message to your senators contact:

MORE ON TACO BELL!
A four-year consumer boycott of
Taco Bell restaurants ended on March 8th
with an announcement that the restaurant's
parent company, Yum Brands, based in
Louisville, Ky., would take significant
steps to improve income and working
conditions for those who pick tomatoes
used by the fast food giant.
According to the Florida-based
Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) -
the farm worker organization that mounted
and organized the successful boycott - Taco
Bell has agreed to a "groundbreaking
agreement." The company will pay "the
penny-per-pound surcharge demanded by
workers and will work with CIW to raise
farm labor standards in the supply chain
and across the industry as a whole."
Edith Rasell, the UCC's minister for and conditions as employees in other
labor relations and community economic
development, hailed the news as "an
important victory after a long, four-year
struggle."
"We can be proud that the UCC was on to the farmworkers, and by working
the first national denomination to endorse
the boycott, and that many UCC
congregations all over the country worked
and prayed in support of this struggle for
justice," Rasell said.
In July 2001, just three months after
the boycott's launch, the UCC's General
Synod, meeting in Kansas City, Mo.,
became the first denominational body to
endorse the farm workers' campaign against
Taco Bell. In subsequent years, the UCC
was joined by several religious groups
Palm Sunday, March 20, 2005
including the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ),
the United Methodist Church and the
National Council of Churches.
In addition to Taco Bell, Yum
Brands also owns Kentucky Fried Chicken,
Pizza Hut, A&W and Long John Silvers.
Yum is a multi-billion dollar, multinational
firm, and is the largest fast-food company in
the world.
Florida's tomato pickers were paid
just one-third of what they received 25 years
ago and face harsh conditions and indignities
in the fields.
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers
is now referring to Taco Bell as setting "a
new standard of social responsibility for the
fast-food industry." Emil Brolick, Taco Bell
president, said, "We recognize that Florida
tomato workers do not enjoy the same rights
industries, and there is a need for reform."
"We pledge to make this commitment real
by buying only from Florida growers who
pass this penny-per-pound payment entirely
jointly with the CIW and our suppliers to
monitor the pass-through for compliance."

 TO DO JUSTICE
In his book, Intellectual Warfare, Dr.
Jacob H. Carruthers states, “The Black
Thinkers who have analyzed the core of the
European Worldview have, as it were, become
intellectual maroons. Like the maroons who
have declared their freedom in fact through
their actions, the intellectual maroons have
declared their freedom through their publicly
stated thoughts.”
This week, I was directed by an
acquaintance to view a website on
Amazon.com. On Amazon’s website was a
list of books from a reviewer of Amazon.com.
The reviewer put together a list of books, and
entitled it “ …Black History: The Good, The
Bad, and the Ugly.” The reviewer identifies
the “good” as books like, Souls of Black Folk
by W.E.B. DuBois, The Mis-Education of the
Negro by Carter G. Woodson, and Martin &
Malcolm in America by James Cone, among
others. The “bad” books were books such as
Killing Rage by bell hooks, Soul On Ice by
Eldridge Cleaver, Black Power by Kwame
Ture, and Autobiography of Malcolm X. This
reviewer, whose alias was Silver Sun, placed a
subtitle on the books deemed “ugly” by this
reviewer. The complete title to this section
read “The Ugly - Lies, Distortions, Half-
Truths, Frauds, and Paranoid Conspiracy
Theories.” Books under this heading were,
among others, The Painful Demise of
Eurocentrism by Molefi Asante, and The
Falsification of Afrikan Consciousness by
Amos Wilson.
While Silver Sun was accurate on
some of the classics deemed as “The Good,”
Silver Sun’s categorization of “The Bad” and
“The Ugly” are simply racist and
unacceptable. Dr. Jacob Carruthers’ words
ring true. This, in no uncertain terms, is
Palm Sunday, March 20, 2005 12
By Rev. Reginald Williams
Micah 6:8
Intellectual Warfare. Those who have dared to
critique Eurocentric thought have been cast as
“intellectual maroons.” Moreover, those
writings and actions which serve to undermine
and de-legitimate European-centered thought
are considered illegitimate by the wider
society, dominant culture and those who strive
to be a part of that dominant culture.
Now, I do not know if Silver Sun, the
reviewer, is black or white. Moreover, it
really doesn’t matter whether he is black or
white, because either way he appears to be
entrenched in the Eurocentric manner of
operating. In fact, Dr. Carruthers also stated
in Intellectual Warfare that those who have
waged the war to liberate African history and
culture have had to battle against at least the
following two entities: (1) European
intellectuals on the international scene, and
(2) an internal civil war against “colonized
African spokespersons trained by Europeans
to undermine African independence.”
I bring this to the light in order to urge
you not to allow anyone to determine for you
what is valuable for you and your people.
European-centered thought seeks to discredit
and disprove anything which challenges the
European-structured manner of thinking and
operating. Learn your own story in order to
tell your own story. Also learn your own
story in order to critique those entities which
try to discredit your story.

Palm Sunday
LIVING THE GOOD LIFE
Daring To Feel Joy
A good life should include joy and
satisfaction. God did not plan for us to be
struggling and overburdened all the time. When
Jesus spoke of the flowers of the field and the
birds of the air, he revealed pleasure that he had
found in the life around him. Not all our days
will be happy and productive, but there must be
rewards to keep us going. We need times of
joyful celebration.

Palm Sunday is a somewhat confusing event. Jesus’ opponents were disturbed and told
him to quiet his followers. The disciples, though, shouted all the more loudly, “Hosanna! What a
blessing we have in welcoming the One who comes in God’s name!” The disciples deserved a reward
for their faithfulness. Jesus celebrated the fact that his mission was being accomplished. To be sure,
there were dangers that they knew were around them, but celebration was still called for.

Many people today feel that it is almost wrong to feel joy. How can we be happy, when
we know that other people are suffering? How can we feel good about life, when there is a great
deal of evil around us that threatens any goodness? God, though, seems to realize the importance
of finding satisfaction along the way. If we do not find it and feel it, we can easily lose heart and
get discouraged. We should not wait until everything is perfect before we rejoice in what is
already good. We should enjoy life’s journey, even though some of it may be uphill.

Palm Sunday calls us to celebrate the fact that God is with us. Enjoy being “on the way!”
Be glad to be among Christ’s present day followers, who experience God’s goodness to us, and
walk with a lighter step.

 STEWARDSHIP

WE HAVE A GREATER NEED

Of course, the church needs our money if it

is to do God’s holy work of ministering His
love to His people. But as great as this need
is, we have a prior and greater need and that
is to use rightly all that God has entrusted to
us. We have a great need to give lovingly,
with thanksgiving to God.
HOLY WEEK BE JOYFUL AND THANKFUL
SERVICES Giving is a time for each one of us to be
Maundy Thursday joyful and thankful to God for all He has
given and gives to us daily. We receive
March 24th, 7:00 p.m.
from Him in order to give. Jesus said,
“Give and it shall be given to you.”
Good Friday
March 25th, 12:00 noon-3:00 p.m. TITHING OUR TIME AND TALENT

Tithing, a percent of our income to the Lord

Holy Saturday is commendable. Even more commendable
March 26th is giving a percentage of our time and talent.
Imani Ya Watume Retreat Indeed, it is the tithing of all of the gifts God
has given to us that allows us to be strong,
Easter Sunday faithful and devoted stewards.
