    ACTS 17:10-15 (NRSV)

    10 That very night the believers sent Paul

    and Silas off to Beroea; and when they

    arrived, they went to the Jewish synagogue.

    11 These Jews were more receptive than

    those in Thessalonica, for they welcomed

    the message very eagerly and examined the

    scriptures every day to see whether these

    things were so. 12 Many of them thereforebelieved, including not a few Greek

    women and men of high standing. 13 But

    when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that

    the word of God had been proclaimed by

    Paul in Beroea as well, they came there

    too, to stir up and incite the crowds.

    14 Then the believers immediately sent

    Paul away to the coast, but Silas andTimothy remained behind. 15 Those who

    conducted Paul brought him as far as

    Athens; and after receiving instructions to

    have Silas and Timothy join him as soon as

    possible, they left him.

    ------------------------------

    6:00 p.m.ACTS 17:16-23 (NRSV)

    16 While Paul was waiting for them in

    Athens, he was deeply distressed to see

    that the city was full of idols. 17 So he

    argued in the synagogue with the Jews a

    the devout persons, and also in the

    marketplace every day with those who

    happened to be there. 18 Also some

    Epicurean and Stoic philosophers debate

    with him. Some said, "What does this

    babbler want to say?" Others said, "He

    seems to be a proclaimer of foreign

    divinities." (This was because he was

    telling the good news about Jesus and th

    resurrection.) 19 So they took him and

    brought him to the Areopagus and asked

    him, "May we know what this new

    teaching is that you are presenting?

    20 It sounds rather strange to us, so we

    would like to know what it means."

    21 Now all the Athenians and the

    foreigners living there would spend thei

    time in nothing but telling or hearing

    something new. 22 Then Paul stood in

    front of the Areopagus and said,

    "Athenians, I see how extremely religiou

    you are in every way. 23 For as I went

    through the city and looked carefully at

    objects of your worship, I found among

    them an altar with the inscription, To a

    unknown god.' What therefore you worsas unknown, this I proclaim to you.

    CONFESSION OF SINS

    Almighty and Most Merciful Father, we come before You, acknowledging our s

    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

    to have said, left undone so many things we ought to have done and been silent w

    we should have witnessed for You.

    Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but we have also closed our eyes

    pretended not to see the injustices, the racism and the evil which pervade

    everyday lives.

    We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear the cries for liberation which co

    from the lips, lives and hearts of the oppressed - even our own Black brothers a

    sisters!

    Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and faith, and keep us ever mindful of T

    great sacrifice. Hear us, we beseech Thee, as we come to You in love and wors

    giving Your name the praise forevermore.

    9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 9

    TO ALL OUR VISITORS ... To all who mourn and need comforting ... To all w

    are friendless and want friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need liberati

    and to whosoever will come, Trinity opens its doors. Thank you for coming and m

    God bless you.

    Be Still And Know!

    This past Monday, as my family and I

    were leaving Los Cabos, savoring the last few

    moments of our wonderful week together,

    Hurricane Katrina was wrecking the lives of

    hundreds of thousands of residents of New

    Orleans. While we were laughing and smiling,

    others were screaming and crying. Still others

    were drowning and dying!

    Some of our students (members of

    TUCC) were evacuating New Orleans

    (students from Dillard and Xavier). Some of

    our students were leaving Grambling and

    Southern to seek refuge in Alabama, in

    Jackson, Mississippi, in Houston, Texas, and in

    Memphis, Tennessee. Some of our members

    were on the phone frantically trying to reach

    their relatives who were trapped in the path of

    the hurricane.

    Our staff member, Reggie Carter, (a

    native of New Orleans) has a sister in NewOrleans whose home was completely

    demolished by the storm. Other members have

    loved ones there who cannot be reached

    because the phone lines are down. One whole

    section of the city where poor blacks live has

    been cut off, and with no televisions, the

    residents there did not know that a mandatory

    evacuation had been ordered so they died

    and/or are dying as we worship today!

    On Wednesday, I got a letter from one of our

    relocated members. I am sharing it with you

    today. Wednesday, August 31st, was a day of

    prayer for the citizens of the state of Louisiana.

    Today, I am asking you for a moment of

    silence, a moment of prayer and a moment o

    reflection as we lift up those who lost their

    lives because of the storm. Their deaths (an

    they are still dying) remind me of how serio

    life is and how precious life is. Hundreds othousands have died and are still dying in

    Sudan as we worship. Let the deaths of our

    loved ones remind us of the deaths of their

    loved ones.

    Pray today for those who have died

    and for those loved ones who live with thos

    deaths on their minds every day! Pray toda

    for the people of God to wake up and see th

    importance of life and to see just how precio

    the gift of life is. Pray today that this week

    of fun, barbecue and festivities will not bloc

    out the reality of the losses we have suffered

    and the importance of preserving life, savin

    lives, ending war and choosing the Way of

    Him who came to give the world LIFE! He

    still says to us today, "Be still and know tha

    am God!"

    Read this letter below and see how

    of our members is getting through this storm

    Pastor Jeremiah A Wright, Jr.

    Checking in from Baton Rouge

    Hello everybody,First of all, please forgive the blast

    mail and any bad grammar this message ma

    contain. I have communicated with some of

    individually. Others I haven't been able to. I

    sure most of you have seen the footage on

    television of the devastating aftermath of

    Hurricane Katrina. I must tell you honestly

    that what you have seen is only part of the

    whole story.

    Governor Blanco has done an excellentjob in her interviews but no words can describe

    how terrible this storm has affected Louisiana.

    I have friends who have lost everything and an

    aunt who evacuated to Houston who probably

    lost everything as well. I also have an aunt,

    uncle and cousin who stayed behind. I don't

    know their status.

    Most of New Orleans and other cities

    in Southeast Louisiana are underwater. Morethan a million people are homeless. Tens of

    thousands are in shelters. Thousands are in

    desperate need of rescue. We are certain that

    there are numerous deaths. The rescue teams

    have to push past dead bodies to get to

    survivors. They can't even count casualties yet.

    And, as you may have seen, there is chaos in

    the streets with looters in some areas.

    I'm physically fine but mentally,emotionally and spiritually, I am exhausted.

    Today [Wednesday], the Governor has called

    for a day of prayer for the people affected by

    the hurricane. I ask that you join us by taking a

    moment today to send up a prayer, a positive

    thought or whatever suits you for the

    victims and for our recovery. It will take a very

    long time to recover, but we will get there.

    To my Chicago family, most of you

    know I was planning to come up there for

    vacation starting Friday. I was looking

    forward to hanging out with friends, going to

    Deneen and Gene's wedding, meeting

    Jennifer's baby boy, and being at TUCC

    Sunday morning. That is highly unlikely at t

    point. I have to be here to work and to help

    with relief efforts. I will see you all as soon I can.

    Again, please keep us in your thoug

    and prayers, especially the victims. I believe

    the power of prayer and know it helps.

    Much love to you all,

    -----------------------------------Happy Labor Day!

    While we party and enjoy ourselves

    this Labor Day weekend, there are thousand

    suffering in the world around us. In Iraq, th

    number of Americans dead rapidly approach

    1900. The number of Iraqi civilians dead is

    over 100,000. Happy Labor Day!

    In Darfur and Sudan, the genocide h

    not stopped. Black women and children are

    being raped and murdered. In the Congo,black women are being raped and black

    children are dying. Happy Labor Day!

    In New Orleans, the dead have not

    even been tabulated, much less recovered an

    or buried. Forty-five million Americans have

    no insurance and thousands of those devastated

    in New Orleans and Mississippi are black, poor

    and uninsured; yet, we go right on partying andjamming "in the name of the Lord." Happy

    Labor Day!

    The African Festival in this city this

    weekend will attract millions of vendors,

    buyers, shoppers and consumers, artists,

    entertainers and those seeking to celebrate one

    last time before summer is over and school

    reopens; and the death toll continues to rise all

    around us. Happy Labor Day!Ever since the Bush Administration

    kidnapped Aristide the "pro-poor"

    democratically elected president of Haiti and

    installed their own "pro-business" puppet, the

    devastation and corruption in Haiti continues to

    escalate, while we go on partying, oblivious to

    what is happening to the blacks under

    genocidal attack right here in our hemisphere.

    Happy Labor Day!Congresswoman Maxine Waters,

    however, sent us a sobering letter that I want to

    share with you as you leave worship today to

    enjoy this holiday with your loved ones. Read

    it and think about it. Read it and wake up!

    Read it and act on it!

    -------------------------------------

    Congresswoman Waters Says ThatAmbassador Foley Was Right About

    The Interim Government Of HaitiToday, Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-35)

    released a statement in response to Ambassador

    James B. Foley's comments regarding the

    interim government of Haiti. The

    Congresswoman's statement follows:

    I commend Ambassador James B.Foley for taking a courageous stand in supp

    of justice and the rule of law in Haiti prior t

    his final departure as the United States

    Ambassador to that tormented nation.

    Ambassador Foley said the interim governm

    of Haiti tarnished the country's image by

    releasing convicted killer and death squad

    leader Louis-Jodel Chamblain from prison

    while continuing to detain former PrimeMinister Yvon Neptune.

    Time and time again, I have decried

    the incompetence of the interim governmen

    Haiti, which continues to be supported by th

    Bush Administration. Kidnappings, murder

    and other crimes have become widespread i

    Haiti since the interim government came to

    power a year-and-a-half ago. Roads and

    infrastructure have fallen into disrepair, andpublic services have virtually disappeared.

    The interim government has done

    nothing to stem the growing violence in the

    country, and it has done nothing to make

    millions of dollars in promised aid from

    international donors available to the Haitian

    people. Just about the only thing the interim

    government has done is jail hundreds of

    political prisoners.Yvon Neptune is one of these politi

    prisoners. He served as Haiti's prime minis

    prior to the February 2004 coup d'etat, and h

    is now the most prominent member of Lava

    the largest political party in Haiti. The interim

    government arrested him over a year ago

    without charges and continues to detain him

    without a trial. Twenty-eight Members ofCongress called for his release in letters sent to

    President Bush last May.

    Another one of these political prisoners

    is Father Gerard Jean-Juste, a widely-respected

    Catholic priest. Prior to his arrest last month,

    Father Jean-Juste operated a soup kitchen for

    hungry children, one of the few social services

    available in a country whose government has

    abdicated its responsibilities.Amnesty International declared him a

    prisoner of conscience, and twenty-nine

    Members of Congress signed a letter calling for

    his release. Other prominent political prisoners

    in Haiti include former Interior Minister

    Jocelerme Privert and Haitian singer Anne

    Auguste, both of whom have been detained

    without a trial for over fifteen months.

    There is a growing consensus that therecan be no free and fair elections in Haiti under

    the violent conditions that exist today.

    Nevertheless, the interim government is

    determined to hold elections in November of

    this year, despite rampant violence and the

    continuing imprisonment of Lavalas party

    leaders.

    Under these circumstances, it is hard to

    believe that the Haitian people would everaccept the results of the elections. Suspicion is

    already widespread that the interim

    government's real motive in keeping Prime

    Minister Neptune and Father Jean-Juste behind

    bars is to prevent them from running for office.

    The interim government's decision t

    let death squad leader Louis-Jodel Chambla

    out of prison must be seen in light of the

    upcoming elections. Chamblain's history oforganizing violence against political activist

    enough to make any potential candidate afra

    to run for office. Setting him free three mo

    before the elections could possibly further

    endanger potential Lavalas candidates and l

    to incidents like the 1994 Raboteau massacr

    brutal massacre in a low-income neighborho

    for which Chamblain was later convicted.

    We may never know why James B.Foley left his post as the Ambassador to Ha

    We may hope he decided that he could not i

    good conscience continue to stand by while

    interim government imprisons potential

    candidates and allows violent criminals to

    control the countryside. Perhaps he grew ti

    of operating an embassy with a skeleton sta

    after other personnel returned to the United

    States to escape the escalating violence.What we do know is that there can

    never be free and fair elections in Haiti as lo

    as thugs and killers are allowed to roam free

    and innocent priests and politicians remain

    behind bars.

    LEAVES

    Leaves come in a wide variety of shape

    Even if you dont recognize which trees

    they are from, you wouldnt mistake an

    oak leaf for a pine needle or a weeping

    willow leaf for one from a maple. Ther

    are even differences among leaves in

    different types of the same tree. Yet,

    despite all their differences, all leaves h

    the same purpose: to make food for the

    tree using water, light and carbon dioxiWithout all three of these things, the tre

    cannot grow or even live.

    A church is like a tree, and its members

    are like leaves. Without their constant

    donations of time, talent and treasure, th

    church will soon suffer and may not

    survive. However, with carefulstewardship, the church will flourish an

    healthy church, like a healthy tree, will

    benefit others. It can be a source of foo

    shelter and inspiration too. Remember

    as you decide how you can provide you

    time, talent and resources to make the

    tree flourish.

    Your Friends in Service,

    The Stewardship Ministry
