 Hymn of praise
7:30 a.m.
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’rything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev’rything 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 despite, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In his arms He’ll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there.

NO, not one
Verse I
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No, not one! No, not one!
None else could heal all our soul’s diseases
No, not one! No, not one!
Chorus
Jesus knows all about our struggles,
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus
No, not one! No, not one!
Verse II
No friend like Him is so high and holy
No, not one! No, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly
No, not one! No, not one!
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse III
There’s not an hour that He is not near us
No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark but His love can cheer us
No, not one! No, not one!
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse IV
Was e’er a gift like the Savior given?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will he refuse us a home in heaven?
No, not one! No, not one!
(Repeat Chorus)
 UNIS ON SCRIPTURE
7:30 a.m.
John 4:28a (good news)
28
Then the woman left her water jar, went back
to the town, and said to the people there.
11:00 a.m., 6:00 p.m.
2 Kings 5:1–14 (NIV)
35
Now Naaman was commander of the army of
the king of Aram. He was a great man in the
sight of his master and highly regarded, because
through him the LORD had given victory to
Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had
leprosy. 2 Now bands from Aram had gone out
and had taken captive a young girl from Israel,
and she served Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her
mistress, “If only my master would see the
prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him
of his leprosy.” 4 Naaman went to his master and
told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By
all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will
send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman
left, taking with him ten talents of silver, six
thousand shekels of gold and ten sets of clothing.
6
The letter that he took to the king of Israel
read: “With this letter I am sending my servant
Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his
leprosy.” 7 As soon as the king of Israel read the
letter, he tore his robes and said, “Am I God?
Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this
fellow send someone to me to be cured of his
leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel
with me!” 8 When Elisha the man of God heard
that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent
Sunday, April 22, 2007  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
him this message: “Why have you torn your
robes? Have the man come to me and he will
know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 So
Naaman went with his horses and chariots and
stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha
sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash
yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your
flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”
11
But Naaman went away angry and said,
“I thought that he would surely come out to
me and stand and call on the name of the
LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot
and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana
and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than
any of the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in
them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went
off in a rage. 13 Naaman’s servants went to him
and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you
to do some great thing, would you not have
done it? How much more, then, when he tells
you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” 14 So he went
down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven
times, as the man of God had told him, and his
flesh was restored and became clean like that of a
young boy.

A Litany for the Third Sunday of Easter
In Response to the Violence at Virginia Tech
April 22, 2007
John H. Thomas
General Minister and President
United Church of Christ
Through the ages we hear the Risen Christ:
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
“Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Yet today we
grieve for precious lambs, not fed, but slaugh-
tered. For those sons and daughters, students
and classmates, colleagues and friends whose lives
we cherish, whose loss we mourn, we pray,
Lord, have mercy. [a time of silence is kept]
Through the ages we hear the Risen Christ:
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
“Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”
Jesus said, “Tend my sheep.” Yet today your
flock is scattered by fear at Virginia Tech and
throughout the world where guns and bombs kill
and maim. For those paralyzed by fear in Blacks-
burg and Baghdad, Kabul and Karachi, Gaza and
the Golan Heights, we pray,
Christ, have mercy. [a time of silence is kept]
Sunday, April 22, 2007  © Sermons copyrighted by Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Through the ages we hear the Risen Christ,
“Simon, son of John, do you love me?”
“Yes, Lord, you know everything, you know that I
love you.”
Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.” Yet today we are
hungry — hungry for peace, hungry for justice,
hungry for security, hungry for hope. For chil-
dren who look for bread but are given the crush-
ing stone of violence, often with our complicity,
we pray,
Lord, have mercy. [a time of silence is kept.]
Take us, O God, to places we are reluctant to
go, to the wounded places, the shattered places,
the terrified places. There may we feed your
lambs with compassion, tend your sheep with
healing, feed your flock with hope. There, with
Peter, may we move from denial to discipleship,
and thus find strength in the midst of this week’s
sorrow and rage, to sing again the Easter song,
“Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Christ is risen, indeed. Alleluia! Amen.
(This prayer uses themes from the Gospel lesson for the
third Sunday of Easter, John 21:1–19.)
