Hymn of Praise
VeRSe 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus Name.
ChoRUS
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
VeRSe 2
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
VeRSe 3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming floods;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
VeRSe 4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found,
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
LUke 15:1-3 (MSG)

By this time a lot of men and
women of doubtful reputation were
hanging around Jesus, listening
intently. The Pharisees and religion
scholars were not pleased, not at all
pleased. They growled, He takes in
sinners and eats meals with them,
treating them like old friends. Their
grumbling triggered this story.
1-3
------------------------------
LUke 15:11-24 (nRSV)

Then Jesus said, There was a man
who had two sons. 12The younger of
them said to his father, Father, give
me the share of the property that
will belong to me. So he divided
his property between them. 13A few
days later the younger son gathered
all he had and traveled to a distant
country, and there he squandered his
property in dissolute living. 14When
he had spent everything, a severe
famine took place throughout that
country, and he began to be in need.
15
So he went and hired himself out
to one of the citizens of that country,
who sent him to his fields to feed
11
hyMn oF PRAiSe/UniSon SCRiPTURe
The SoLiD RoCk

Unison Scriptures
the pigs. 16He would gladly have filled
himself with the pods that the pigs were
eating; and no one gave him anything.
17
But when he came to himself he
said, How many of my fathers hired
hands have bread enough and to
spare, but here I am dying of hunger!
18
I will get up and go to my father, and
I will say to him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven and before you; 19I am
no longer worthy to be called your
son; treat me like one of your hired
hands. 20So he set off and went to
his father. But while he was still far off,
his father saw him and was filled with
compassion; he ran and put his arms
around him and kissed him. 21Then the
son said to him, Father, I have sinned
against heaven and before you; I am
no longer worthy to be called your
son. 22But the father said to his slaves,
Quickly, bring out a robethe best
oneand put it on him; put a ring
on his finger and sandals on his feet.
23
And get the fatted calf and kill it, and
let us eat and celebrate; 24for this son
of mine was dead and is alive again; he
was lost and is found! And they began
to celebrate.
Confession of Sins
Almighty and Most Merciful Father, we come before

You, acknowledging our sins, 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 not to have said, left
undone so many things we ought to have done and
been silent when we should have witnessed for You.
Not only are we guilty of that, O Lord; but we have
also closed our eyes and pretended not to see the
injustices, the racism and the evil which pervade our
everyday lives.
We have shut our ears and pretended not to hear
the cries for liberation which come from the lips, lives
and hearts of the oppressed even our own Black
brothers and sisters!
Forgive us, O Lord, renew our courage and faith, and
keep us ever mindful of Thy great sacrifice. Hear us,
we beseech Thee, as we come to You in love and
worship giving Your Name the praise forevermore.
******
To All Our Visitors ... To all who mourn and need
comforting ... To all who are friendless and want
friendship ... To all who are oppressed and need
liberation; and to whosoever will come, Trinity
opens its doors. Thank you for coming, and may
God bless you.

Sermon Notes/Prayer Concerns
Fasting For The Lenten Season

As we prepare for our churchwide Lenten season fast, keep in mind our 2016 Theme The Fruit of the
Spirit: Taste and See! Our reset cards for 2016 reflect the monthly Bible scriptures that support our
theme, focusing on a separate fruit each month. For the time of our fast, they will focus on Joy and
Peace. You are encouraged to use this resource as one of your sources of inspiration during our fasting
period and beyond. Fasting is a spiritual discipline designed to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ.
We do not fast to lose weight; we fast to be empowered by Jesus Christ. In 2016, as we seek to renew
our relationship with God, God will reveal Gods purpose and plan in your life if you dare fast, pray,
study and learn the power of quiet time. Jesus had to steal away from the crowd and spend time with
his Father in the mountains, to pray, study, reflect, meditate, and center his spirit. If fasting and prayer
were the disciplines of Jesus, should not this be followed by us? Join with us this season and witness a
breakthrough, as we fast, pray, study, reflect, meditate, and learn the power of quiet time.
Question: i have never fasted before?
Answer: Consult your doctor first!* Fasting is not
the removal of all food from your diet. Fasting is
learning to discipline your mind, body and spirit
to remove something you know hinders your
ability to function at your highest capacity, from
your life or diet.
Question: is fasting biblical?
Answer: Fasting is biblical. Throughout the Old
and New Testaments, fasting was used by the
people of God to prepare for a spiritual challenge,
hear Gods voice before making a major decision,
and for removing destructive forces in your life.
Fast #1 - Fasting to confront destructive forces
February 10 February 16
Eat all your meals before 6:00 p.m.
Eat only two meals, before 6:00 p.m.
February 24 March 1
Eat only one meal a day before 6:00 p.m.
March 2 March 8
Drink only juices, water, and/or tea
March 9 March 15
Eat only fruits and vegetables, before 6:00
p.m.
March 16 March 26
Slowly begin to add meat to your diet
Fast #2 The Daniel Fast (Taken from the book
of Daniel). When Daniel was captured by the
Babylonians, he asked of the Babylonians if he,
along with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego,
could fast eating only fruits and vegetables so they

would be prepared to confront the Babylonian
king.
Eat all meals before 6:00 p.m.
Eat only two meals a day, before 6:00 p.m.
February 24 March 1
Eat only fruits and vegetables, before 6:00
p.m.
March 2 March 8
Eat one meal a day before 6:00 p.m.; meat
may be added.
March 9 March 15
Eat two meals a day before 6:00 p.m.; meat
may be added.
March 16 March 26
Eat three meals a day before 6:00 p.m.
Fast #3 - Removing certain foods or items from

your diet or life. One type of fasting is to remove
certain foods from your diet, such as fried foods,
sweets, sodas, or refined sugar and/or flour.
*Please seek the advice of your primary care provider/
doctor before beginning a fast that involves restricting
food/calories and/or medication. Your doctor can help
you design a fasting plan that protects your health
and well-being. This is extremely important if you are
pregnant or have a medical condition. Medical condition
examples include, but are not limited to those who have a
chronic disease such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, hypertension,
heart disease, cancer, inflammatory bowel disease,
recent surgery, etc.

2016 Churchwide Theme

and Scriptures
Theme: The Fruit of The Spirit:
Taste and See!
But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our
lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is
no law against these things!
Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)
January Love
He answered, You shall love the Lord your God

with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your strength, and with all your mind; and your
neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27 (NRSV)
February Joy
Nehemiah said, Go and enjoy good food and

sweet drinks. Send some to people who have none,
because today is a holy day to the Lord. Dont be
sad, because the joy of the Lord will make you
strong. Nehemiah 8:10 (NCV)
March Peace
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called

children of God. Matthew 5:9 (NIV)
April Patience
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall

strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
Psalm 27:14 (NKJV)
July Faithfulness
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, You

are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my
teachings. And you will know the truth, and the
truth will set you free. John 8:31-32 (NLT)
August Gentleness
By the humility and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to

youI, Paul, who am timid when face to face with
you, but bold toward you when away! I beg you
that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I
expect to be toward some people who think that
we live by the standards of this world. For though
we live in the world, we do not wage war as the
world does. 2 Corinthians 10:1-3 (NIV)
September Self Control
So prepare your minds for action and exercise selfcontrol. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation
that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed
to the world. So you must live as Gods obedient
children. Dont slip back into your old ways of living
to satisfy your own desires. You didnt know any
better then. 1 Peter 1:13-14 (NLT)
October Forgive One Another
May Kindness
Get rid of all bitterness, 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. Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)
June Goodness
My brothers and sisters, God called you to be free,

but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do
what pleases your sinful self. Serve each other with
love. Galatians 5:13 (NCV)
This is what the Lord of Heavens Armies says:

Judge fairly, and show mercy and kindness to
one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans,
foreigners, and the poor. And do not scheme against
each other. Zechariah 7:9-10 (NLT)
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let
them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the
humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor
bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do
not boast about it or deny the truth.
James 3:13-14 (NIV)
November Service One Another
December Build Up One Another
So encourage each other and build each other up,

just as you are already doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NLT)
