About Today's Hymn...

I am on the Ba le eld for My Lord was wri enby Sylvana Bell and E.V. Banks in 1944. Wehonor the late Father of Gospel Music, ThomasA. Dorsey, who arranged this meless hymn.

This hymn announces/proclaims a compellingcry that ignites our commitment to ght forsocial jus ce on these shores and beyond.

Todays third verse honors our beloved Rev. Dr.Mar n Luther King, Jr., who made an indeliblemark for equality and social jus ce for all. Yes,he was on the Ba le eld serving ll he died!!

About last Sundays Hymn"Im Glad I Got That Old Time Religion"

This round style hymn allows worshippers topar cipate and publically profess by standing ontheir born again day. Those seated presumablyare candidates for evangelism/discipleship.

This hymn is found in a collec on of hymns, Spiritsthat Dwell in Deep Woods (The Prayer and PraiseHymns of the Black Religious Experience) from

1885-1925 researched by Rev. Dr. Wya Tee Walkerpastor, schlolar and former director of the Progres-sive Na onal Bap st Conven on, 1990-1994. Theyhave been edited by Dr. James Abbington.

These hymns are Bible-based and wri en byunknown authors, highly repe ve honoring andcelebra ng the oral tradi on of our culture.

Family,

As we enter 2011, I want to be clear aboutTrinity United Church of Christs posi on regardingshopping at Wal-Mart/Sams Club. As a church, we donot shop at Wal-Mart! In fact, if our ministry partnerspurchase items from Wal-Mart for church events,our policy is to not reimburse for those expenditures.

As your pastor, I ask that you and your family

also do not shop at Wal-Mart. This has been along standing posi on of our denomina on and acoali on of local churches and labor unions for manyreasons. Even though they are one of the largestcorpora ons in the world, they fail to pay a livingwage to their employees, and as a result, are hometo the largest pool of working poor in America. In

addi on, being purposefully manipula ve, theyprovide minimal health bene ts, in order to takeadvantage of government health programs.

Some argue that Wal-Mart is not the onlycompany with these policies, and that is correct. But,strategically, if we can win concessions with Wal-Mart, as the worlds leading retailer, other retailerswill follow suit. This is our ght, and it is not over!

A recent analysis completed by the Center forCommunity Planning and Development at HunterCollege in New York of over y studies conductedon the impact Wal-Mart has on local and na onaleconomies, provides that: Wal-Mart store openings kill three local jobs

for every two they create by reducing retailemployment by an average of 2.7 percent inevery county they enter.

Wal-Marts entry into a new market does notincrease overall retail ac vity or employmentopportuni es. Research from Chicago showsretail employment did not increase in Wal-Marts zip code, and fell signi cantly in thoseadjacent.

Stores near a new Wal-Mart are at increasedrisk of going out of business. A er a single Wal-Mart opened in Chicago in September 2006, 82of the 306 small businesses in the surroundingneighborhood had gone out of business byMarch, 2008.

Wal-Mart has thousands of associates whoqualify for Medicaid and other publiclysubsidized care, leaving taxpayers to footthe bill. For instance, in Ohio, Wal-Mart hasmore associates and associate dependents onMedicaid than any other employer, cos ngtaxpayers $44.8 million in 2009.

Wal-Marts average annual pay of $20,774 isbelow the Federal Poverty Level for a family of four.

A Wal-Mart spokesperson publiclyacknowledged in 2004 that, More than twothirds of our people... are not trying to supporta family. Thats who our jobs are designed for.

Wal-Marts 2010 health care o erings have ahigh annual deduc ble of $4,400, which meansa family would have to spend $5,102 of theirown money on health care before Wal-Martsinsurance pays anything. Based on the averagesalary of a Wal-Mart employee, this paymentrepresents almost 25% of their annual income.

Shopping at Wal-Mart, as temp ng as it is, resultsin a net nega ve for society in many ways. At TrinityUnited Church of Christ, we recognize that everygood deal isnt, and will con nue to ght for therights of . . . the least of these, as instructed by ourLord and Savior, Jesus Christ.Asking you to imagine . . . a me when all workingAmericans can a ord to live on their wages.

A Word From The Pastor



8/30

S ks d S sBy Rev. M. Linda Jaramillo

Chris na Taylor Green was born on September 11,2001; she was nine years old when she was shotand killed on January 7, 2011. Chris nas is the Ari-zona face in the book, Faces of Hope,that included onebaby from each state born on that fateful day almost 10years ago. Today, her beau ful smile is on the front pageof newspapers and at the center of television screensaround the world. Chris na had just been elected to herstudent council so she wanted to meet her Congresswom-an; a young leader whose life was cut short by tragedyin a shopping mall in Tucson, Arizona. Our thoughts andprayers go out to her parents and extended family whoso courageously spoke of her innocent and hopeful spirit.We cannot help but grieve the loss of our childrens in-nocence.

S cks and stones can break my bones, but wordswill never hurt me. I remember this phrase from my child-hood; it was how we responded to someone who was call-ing us names, pu ng us down, or just being mean. Whilethis response was a way to de ect the pain, it did not re-ally help because words did hurt; we just pretended thatthey didnt. Todays children are no di erent, words s llhurt them, but the s cks and stones have turned into gunsand bullets.

During sad mes like these, we cant help but be an-gry or lose hope for the future. Every day, we hear voicesseemingly intent on proving that anyone who disagreeswith our point of view is wrong and should be silenced.Most will agree that we live in a me when our profounddi erences of opinion are escala ng from words to muchmore violent expressions from s cks and stones to gunsand bullets.

Words can be in uen al instruments of hate and an-ger that can lodge in the hearts and minds of those who

are focused on destruc on and despair. Words can also bepowerful sources of encouragement meant for good andkind purposes. The power of sugges on is far more sig-

ni cant than any one of us wants to admit. We must notunderes mate the poten al that words have to be usedas s cks and stones or guns and bullets...

While our leaders set the example for appropriateand civil behavior, we cannot simply blame our public of-

cials for the culture of hos lity in which we live. Each oneof us must take responsibility for the ways in which we

interact. As adults, we should provide the example to ourchildren on how to resolve di erences without violence.Ironically, just a few days following the Tucson tragedy, weobserve the birthday of Dr. Mar n Luther King, Jr., a pub-lic leader who walked among us pleading for a nonviolentresponse to injus ce. His words ring so true today, Dark-ness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Regardless of our own perspec ve on any issue, letsnd ways to disagree and even get angry, without resort-

ing to violence. Otherwise, our children will see only hate,darkness, and despair, rather than love, light and hope. Aswe grieve and search for answers to this shoo ng tragedy,lets remind ourselves that we can and must par cipate intransforming our current culture of violence to one of careand kindness. Our children deserve nothing less.

Sp N :Our hear elt condolences to the familiesof Judge John Roll, Gabe Zimmerman, Dorwin Stoddard,Dorothy Murray, Phyllis Scheck, and Chris na TaylorGreen. Our thoughts and prayers for the recovery of thoseinjured, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Gi ords. Inaddi on, we pray for the parents of Jared Lee Loughner,who are also wounded by this terrible tragedy.

THE RESULTS OF A REDEEMED LIFEINNER PEACE AND JOY

Empty pews are a sad pat of todays congrega ons. Many things vie for the a en on, moneyand talents. We can learn a valuable lesson from two widowed sisters, Pauline (age 101!)

and Ella (age 98). Although these ladies reside in a modest apartment complex and livewith numerous age-related aches and pains, they never neglect worship service or thing. Notonly do they a end weekly Sunday services and Bible study, but most any other church func onwill nd them in their usual pew par cipa ng in worship. Fellow members are encouraged bytheir presence, their wisdom, and their example.

An inner peace and joy surrounds these ladies. They are cheerful and content in mes of bothcelebra on and adversity, as they con nue their lives with rm adherence to the Will of God. Theywould not grieve the Holy Spirit by missing church, unless they were ill.

Pauline and Ella serve as a reminder to cheerfully a end worship services when possible. It iswri en in Hebrews 10:25, Let us not give up mee ng together as some are in the habit of doing,but let us encourage one another all the more as you see the Day approaching.

God bless senior members such as Pauline and Ella. Although their physical abili es to serve arelimited, they s ll provide us with a beau ful example of stewardship through their dedicatedchurch a endance and thing.
