Lenten Fast
We are calling for a period of prayer and fasng for the enre church during the Season of
Lent, beginning Ash Wednesday (March 9, 2011) through Resurrecon Sunday (April 24,
2011).
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil and aer fasng forty days and
forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these
stones to become loaves of bread.” Mahew 4:1-3
Fasng has been used throughout the ages to prepare the people of God for the great things God has in store
for them. As we pray through this season of transion and Divine imaginaon, I am calling, I am asking, I am
requesng that the enre church become involved in some form of prayer and fasng. The following are several
types of fasts that can be used to develop spiritual power and clarity.
Fast #1 - Fasng to confront destrucve forces

March 9 – March 19 Eat all meals before 6:00 p.m.
March 20 - March 27 Eat only two meals a day before 6:00 p.m.
LENTEN FAST
March 28 – April 2 Eat only one meal a day
April 3 – April 9 Drink only juices, water and/or tea
April 10 – April 16 Eat only fruits and vegetables before 6:00 p.m.
April 17 – April 23 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, eang only fruits and
vegetables so they would be prepared to confront the Babylonian king.
March 9 – March 19 Eat all meals before 6:00 p.m.
March 20 - March 27 Eat only two meals a day before 6 p.m.
March 28 – April 2 Eat only fruits and vegetables before 6:00 p.m.
April 3 – April 9 Eat one meal a day before 6:00 p.m., meat may be added.
April 10 – April 16 Eat two meals a day before 6:00 p.m., meat may be added
April 17 – April 23 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 fasng is to remove certain foods, such as fried foods, sweets, sodas or refined sugar and/or flour,
from your diet.
Please consult your doctor before proceeding with fasng. If you take medicaon or have any parcular ailment, it
is important to first communicate with your physician.

A Word from the Pastor
Dear Trinity Family,
Recently, I was engaged in a wonderful discussion with a member of Trinity. We talked about the
marvelous work of the Prison Ministry, the incredible dedicaon of the Deacon Ministry, and the
creavity of the Worship and Arts Team. Our parishioner made the comment, “I enjoy the fact you
teach on the same subject and scripture each service. It gives my family (they aend different services)
an opportunity to discuss the same scripture and subject when we gather for dinner.” I said “thank you”
and we connued our conversaon.
It was this past week, when one of our dedicated Deacons asked me, “Why do you preach the same
message at all three services?” It dawned on me, I “understood” the why, but my friend “assumed” the
why. I shared with my friend that we have three different services with three different demographics:
churched, un-churched, and post-churched parishioners. I preach the same message to lay the
groundwork for the enre congregaon to learn, reflect, and study from the same sheet of music.
My Deacon friend thanked me and said, “I figured as much, but unl you stated it, I could not know
definively.”
I recognize this is a departure for some, since our Pastor Emeritus, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.,
preached three different messages each Sunday; I might add, because of Dr. Wright’s brilliance. He is
one of the few ministers in the country who preached three different messages on Sunday during his
tenure as pastor.
Those who have been at Trinity prior to the construcon of the 400 building remember the preaching of
mulple messages was an evoluon in ministry, not a revoluon. At one point during our ministry, only
one message was preached and when Trinity began to broadcast on television, mulple messages were
instuted. I say all of this just to reiterate the goal of being on one accord.
As we move through this year of Jubilee, let us remember, different is NOT deficient.
Asking you to imagine…

Sermon Notes
SERMON NOTES

Stewardship
THE RESULTS OF A REDEEMED LIFE
I
n the Gospel reading from Mahew, wherein Jesus was preaching to 5,000 people and dusk was
starng to set in, supper was long overdue, stomachs were starng to growl, and all there was to eat
were two fish and five loaves of bread. The disciples were aware of the predicament. They said to
Jesus, in effect, “This is a scky situaon, and we can’t do anything about it, anyway. Let’s take what we
have gathered and go away and eat!”
By nature, there is some of that mentality in all of us. Whenever God places us in a situaon that
challenges us to use our me and talent, and to invest some of ourselves in finding a soluon to
someone’s problem or need, our first response is to remove ourselves from the problem.
Mahew, the one who wrote the account of the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, was an
STEWARDSHIP
eyewitness to the event. Can you imagine the joyful sasfacon…the upli in faith Mahew (…they
trusted and had the joy and sasfacon that comes with being a partner with Jesus? A partner in his
ministry of love and service) experienced when he was able to write, “But everyone ate, and there was
more than enough. They gathered twelve baskets full of leovers!”
Do you think there could be any symbolic significance to the fact that there were twelve baskets full - one
for each disciple, and enough to sasfy their needs for days to come; all because they trusted God and had
the joy and sasfacon that comes with being a partner with Jesus - A partner in his ministry of love and
service?
For that maer, some of the most red, worn out at mes, almost burnt out disciples at every church have
become that way because they have a difficult me saying “no” when our Lord calls them to join hands
with Him in using their me and talent to serve their church. Tired? Yes! Weary? Yes! But then, you should
be let in on a lile secret – you should see their “baskets”!
Your Friends in Service,

The Stewardship Ministry
