Yield not to temptation
Verse I
Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin,
Each vict’ry will help you, Some other to win;
Fight valiantly onward, Evil passions subdue,
Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.
Chorus
Ask the Savior to help you,
Comfort strengthen and keep you;
He is willing to aid you, He will carry you through.
Verse II
Shun evil companions, Bad language disdain,
God’s name hold in rev’rence, Nor take it in vain;
Be thoughtful and earnest, Kindhearted and true,
Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.
(Repeat chorus)
Verse III
To him that o’er cometh, God given a crown,
Through faith we will conquer, though often
cast down;
He who is our Savior, Our strength will renew,
Look ever to Jesus, He will carry you through.
(Repeat chorus)

What a friend we Have
in Jesus
Verse I
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear,
What a privilege to carry,
Ev’ry thing to God in prayer,
Oh what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev’ry thing to God in prayer
Verse II
Have we trials and temptations,
Is there trouble anywhere,
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Verse III
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer? In His
Arms He’ll take and shield thee,
Thou wilt find a solace there.
 UNISON SCRIPTURE
7:30 a.m.
Hebrews 4:12–16 (KJV)
12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and
sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to
the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart. 13Neither is there any crea-
ture that is not manifest in his sight: but all things
are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with
whom we have to do. 14Seeing then that we have
a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be
touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of
grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to
help in time of need.
11:00 a.m.
2 Corinthians 4:7–9 (KJV)
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
7
excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
8
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we
are perplexed, but not in despair; 9Persecuted, but not
forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
6:00 p.m.
Deuteronomy 1:19–21 (KJV)
19
And when we departed from Horeb, we went
through all that great and terrible wilderness, which
ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites,
as the LORD our God commanded us; and we
came to Kadeshbarnea. 20And I said unto you, Ye are
come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the
LORD our God doth give unto us. 21Behold, the
LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up
and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath
said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

PASTOR ’S PAG E
ABC to Show UCC
Film on Water
T
roubled Waters , an hour-long documentary
written and produced by the United Church
of Christ, will be aired nationally on ABC
television beginning on October 22, 2006. It
portrays some of the challenges faced by people and
nations everywhere with regard to access to clean,
safe drinking water and adequate sanitation.
The film addresses the increasing privatization
of water resources around the world and raises
disturbing questions about who has access to this
precious resource. “Water is a gift from God and
a human right,” affirms executive producer Wally
Ryan Kuroiwa, “not a commodity available only to
those who can pay for it.”
Produced as a cooperative venture of Justice and
Witness Ministries, Wider Church Ministries, and
Proclamation, Identity, and Communication Team
in the UCC, this provocative film was shot in Africa,
South America, the Middle East, and the United
States, and is narrated by the legendary actor Lynn
Redgrave, a UCC member.
A previous documentary produced by Justice
and Witness Ministries’ Wally Ryan Kuroiwa,
Strong Roots, Fragile Farms, which tackles concerns
about globalization’s impact on family farms, was
nominated for an Emmy award.
Please check with your local ABC affiliate for air
time. Some of the major air times are avaiable
at http://www.troubledwatersdoc.com, where you
can also find other interesting information about
water and the documentary.
For more information about water issues, also

Ministries: http://www.globalministries.org/index.

 PASTOR’S PAG E
When I Was In Prison…
T
he words of Jesus concerning those who are
truly followers of His teach us that when
He was hungry we fed Him. When He was
thirsty, we gave Him something to drink. When He
was sick, we ministered unto Him and when He was
in prison, we visited Him.
When you read the Lord’s words in Matthew you
will see where those to whom He was talking asked
Him when did they see Him hungry or thirsty, sick
or in prison? Jesus responded to them by saying, “In
as much as you have done it unto the least of these,
my little ones, you have done it unto Me.”
Our Prison Ministry has taken the Lord’s words
seriously. They do prison visitation on a regular
basis. Our Prison Ministry visits Joliet Prison, Dixon
Prison and the federal facility in Wisconsin.
Not all of us can be a part of the Prison Ministry
and actually do physical prison visitation. We can
write to prisoners, however!
Almost every year I have to put out a call for
persons who are interested in corresponding with
prisoners, so that the correspondence load does not
become unbearable. Our Prison Ministry (and your
Pastor!) stays in touch with over thirty prisoners a
month. That is made possible by members of the
congregation who take five to ten minutes a week to
sit down and write our prisoners.
Every time I send out a “plea” for prison ministers
I get ten to fifteen people who say, “Yes.” Within six
months time, however, that number who said “yes”
has dwindled down to one or two faithful members
who stick to it and keep writing.
The Prison Ministry has just made me aware
of the fact that they need some more writing
volunteers for this year. The large number who
volunteered last year is now down to under five
faithful correspondents!
Sunday, October 22, 2006  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Will you volunteer to write a prisoner? Will you
volunteer to be a representative of Christ in the
life of man or a woman who is incarcerated? If
you are interested in becoming one of our prison
correspondents, please contact one of the following:
Melvern Williams, Gail Hardy, Reverend Dee Clark,
by calling the Prison Ministry, 772-962-5650 ext. 886.
Thank you in advance for all you can do and all you
will do to help those who are incarcerated stay in touch
with “the outside” and to hold on to hope
Sincerely and respectfully yours,
Election 2006
Countdown;
Voter Rights
A
s Election Day, Tuesday, November 7, draws
nearer, it is important to remind registered
voters what they need to know when they go to
the polls. Especially for newly registered and first-time
voters, the process can seem a little intimidating.
Add to that the controversies surrounding the 2000
and 2004 election procedures, and even more recent
difficulties with new voting equipment in 2006 primary
races, it is all the more essential to empower voters with
information on their rights and what they can expect at
the polling place. Here is how you can help!
Help Voters Understand Their Rights:
1. Visit the League of Women Voters’ website at
http://www.lwv.org to find your local election
board to find out what voters need to bring to the
polls and what to do if they do not appear on the
voter list. Many states are now requiring IDs. In any
case, it is good to bring an ID along.
 PASTOR’S PAG E
. In your Get-Out-The-Vote phone calls and
announcements, remind people to check to make
sure they know where their polling station is
located. This information can be found on your
voter identification card. You can also check the
LWV website to find it. Every state has different
cut-off dates for voter registration. Know the last
day for people to register to vote in your area!
3. Let people know that if they get to the polls and
find they are not on the list of registered voters,
they can request a provisional ballot in many
states.
4. Find out what the laws are in your state regarding
the rights of formerly convicted people to vote.
Individuals who have served their jail sentence
and have been released from prison often may
not know they have the right to vote in many
jurisdictions.
5. Let people know that they can always ask a poll
worker for assistance if they make a mistake on
their ballot or have a question about using a
voting machine.
6. Inform people that if they are in line at the time
the polls close, the law requires that they be
allowed to vote. Stay and vote!

October is Domestic
Violence Awareness
Month
D
omestic Violence is a pattern of physical,
sexual, psychological, and/or economic
abuse, threats, intimidation, isolation,
or coercion used by one person to exert power
and control over another person in the context of
a current or former dating, family, household, or
caregiving relationship. Domestic Violence is never
“just a private family matter.” It affects our entire
society.
Family violence costs the nation from 5 to 10
billion dollars annually in medical expenses, police
and court costs, shelters and foster care, sick leave,
absenteeism, and non-productivity. 80% of violent
criminals report having witnessed violence in the
home as children. Over 50% of all homeless women
and children in this country are fleeing domestic
violence, thus contributing to the high rates of pov-
erty. Social science research shows there is a strong
connection between violence in the home and the
way society normalizes violence in our local com-
munities and on a global scale. Domestic Violence
is everyone’s business. “The ruin of a nation begins
in the homes of its people.” (African Proverb)
If you or someone you know is in an abusive re-
lationship, help is available. Please contact the City
of Chicago Domestic Violence Helpline at 877-TO
END DV (877-863-6338) to receive informa-
tion regarding all the domestic violence services,
including shelters, legal assistance, and counseling
available in the city and suburbs. Please visit the
Clothesline Project in the upstairs Narthex after
service today.
For information, call
Anika Sterling (773) 297-1027 or
Kenya Jackson (773) 536-0905.

Stewardship…
Results of a Redeemed Life
T
he next time you see Geese heading south for
the winter flying along in V formation you
might be interested in knowing what science
has discovered about why they fly that way. It has been
learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an
uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a
V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater
flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
Christians who share a common direction and a
sense of community can also get where they are going
quicker and easier because they are traveling on the
thrust and uplift of one another.
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly
feels the drag and resistance of trying to go alone, and
quickly gets back into formation, to take advantage of
the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. If
we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in for-
mation with those who are headed the same way we
are going. When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates
back in the wing and another goose flies point. It pays
to take turns doing hard jobs with people at church or
with geese flying south. The geese honk from behind
to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
What do we say when we honk from behind?
Finally, when a goose gets sick or falls out, two geese
fall out of formation and follow him down to help and
protect him until he dies or is able to fly again.
The geese who helped each other shared. Sharing
is both serving and giving. It’s a part of our “stew-
ardship.” We believe that it is the privilege of the
Christian to dedicate what he has, what he is, to God.
We commonly speak of time, talents and possessions.
How we use these is a choice we make which indicates
the depth of our faith.
Your Friends in Service,
The Stewardship Ministry

TO D O J USTICE
By Rev. Reginald Williams, Jr.
T
here has been much ado about the recent
passage of HB 4050. The name of the
bill is Predatory Lending Database Pilot.
The Housing Ministry of Trinity United Church
of Christ met with members of the State Senate of
Illinois, Senators Jacqueline Collins and Kwame
Raoul (our member), and the Department of
Financial Regulations’ Phil Dalmage, in order
to understand the bill and its ramifications. The
goal of this volume of To Do Justice is to provide
information as given to us about HB 4050.
In sum, the pilot program establishes a screening
program for mortgage borrowers in the Southwest
portion of Chicago. Here are the requirements:
Borrowers seeking a loan through a mortgage
broker or loan originator for a home within the
10 targeted zip codes will have to undergo HUD
approved and sponsored credit counseling, if they
fall within the following mandatory counseling
criteria:
1. The borrower has a FICO score less than 620
2. The borrower has a FICO score of 621-650
combined with any or all of the following factors
a. The home was financed within 12 months of
the date of the current loan application;
b. The payment for the loan being applied for is
“interest only”;
c. The interest rate is adjustable within three years;
d. The loan uses a stated income for the borrower,
rather than verifying the borrower’s income through
other means (tax return, pay stubs, etc.)
 TO DO J USTICE
3. The loan includes any of the following,
regardless of the borrower’s FICO score:
a. Prepayment penalty
b. Results in negative amortization
c. Total points or fees paid by borrowers at or
before closing will exceed 5%
The major question asked is why the Southwest
portion of Chicago? Why not all of the state? Why
not some areas of the city and other areas of the
state? According to Senators Collins and Raoul,
and according to Phil Dalmage of the Department
of Financial Regulation, 48% of all of the
foreclosures in the state of Illinois are in Chicago.
Further, most of these foreclosures are in black and
brown neighborhoods. The bill was proposed by
Mike Madigan, and his own zip code is included.
(Included zip codes are 60620, 21, 23, 28, 29, 32,
36, 38, 43, and 52).
Even with that reasoning, the appearance
of racism is present in selecting only black and
brown neighborhoods for this pilot program,
as if foreclosures are not occurring across the
whole state. This point was raised with the state
delegation. In response to this, it was stated that
the pilot program has a four year term. However,
after the first year, zip codes can be added or
deleted from the program. Because it is a pilot
program, none of this is written in stone. Senator
Collins also vowed, after the reports from the
first year are returned, to fight to make the pilot
program statewide. Furthermore, with no zip
codes specified in the legislation itself, there is also
the possibility of doing partial zip codes, as there
are some zip codes where certain areas have high
Sunday, October 22, 2006 10 © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
foreclosure rates, while other areas in the same
zip code do not. (Zip codes cannot be specified
in the legislation because that would amount to
legislative redlining).
Another interesting move that has occurred
since the bill has gone into effect is that some
bankers and mortgage brokers have decided not to
lend in the zip codes affected by the program. This
apparently speaks to their motives for predatory
lending in those areas.
Lastly, Senator Collins shared the proponents
and opponents of the bill. Opponents to the bill
were people who generally could benefit from
the predatory lending practices. These included
groups like Mortgage lenders, Realtors, and
Ameriquest (currently in court, being sued for
predatory lending). Proponents of the bill include
groups like the Attorney General’s Office, AARP,
Citizens Action Illinois, and a host of community
organizations.
Hopefully, this column enlightens and educates
us on the issue of HB 4050. In the coming weeks,
we will be hosting a teach-in with legislators
and housing professionals to further educate
the congregation and community on this very
important piece of legislation.
