STANDING ON THE PROMISES
SIGN ME UP
Sign me up for the Christian jubilee,
Write my name on the roll,
Ive been changed, since the Lord
Has lifted me, I want to be ready
When Jesus comes.
VERSE 1
Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
CHORUS
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises
Of God, my Savior. Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of God.
VERSE 2
Standing on the promises that cannot fail.

When the howling storms of doubt
and fear assail,
By the living word of God I shall prevail,
VERSE 3
Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally
by loves strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirits sword,
VERSE 4
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

Listning evry moment to the Spirits call,
Resting in my Savior, as my all in all,
7:30 A.M.
2 SAMUEL 23:8-17 (NLT)
These are the names of Davids mightiest

warriors. The first was Jashobeam the
Hacmonite, who was leader of the Three
the three mightiest warriors among Davids
men. He once used his spear to kill 800 enemy
warriors in a single battle. 9Next in rank
among the Three was Eleazar son of Dodai, a
descendant of Ahoah. Once Eleazar and David
stood together against the Philistines when
the entire Israelite army had fled. 10He killed
Philistines until his hand was too tired to lift his
sword, and the Lord gave him a great victory
that day. The rest of the army did not return
until it was time to collect the plunder!
8
Next in rank was Shammah son of Agee from

Harar. One time the Philistines gathered at Lehi
and attacked the Israelites in a field full of lentils.
The Israelite army fled, 12but Shammah held
his ground in the middle of the field and beat
back the Philistines. So the Lord brought about
a great victory. 13Once during the harvest,
when David was at the cave of Adullam, the
Philistine army was camped in the valley of
Rephaim. The Three (who were among the
Thirtyan elite group among Davids fighting
men) went down to meet him there. 14David
was staying in the stronghold at the time, and

a Philistine detachment had occupied the town
of Bethlehem.
15
David remarked longingly to his men, Oh,
how I would love some of that good water from
the well by the gate in Bethlehem.
So the Three broke through the Philistine lines,

drew some water from the well by the gate in
Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But
he refused to drink it. Instead, he poured it out
as an offering to the Lord. 17The Lord forbid
that I should drink this! he exclaimed. This
water is as precious as the blood of these
men who risked their lives to bring it to me.
So David did not drink it. These are examples of
the exploits of the Three.

MATTHEW 25:1-13 (NIV)
At that time the kingdom of heaven will be

like ten virgins who took their lamps and went
out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them
were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish
ones took their lamps but did not take any oil
with them. 4The wise ones, however, took oil
in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom
was a long time in coming, and they all became
drowsy and fell asleep. 6At midnight the cry
rang out: Heres the bridegroom! Come out to
meet him!
7
Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed
their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise,
Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going
out. 9No, they replied, there may not be
enough for both us and you. Instead, go to
those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.
1
October 9, 2016
But while they were on their way to buy the

oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who
were ready went in with him to the wedding
banquet. And the door was shut. 11Later the
others also came. Lord, Lord, they said, open
the door for us! 12But he replied, Truly I
tell you, I dont know you. 13Therefore keep
watch, because you do not know the day or
the hour.

EXODUS 3:11-15 (NIV)
But Moses said to God, Who am I that I

should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites
out of Egypt? 12And God said, I will be with
you. And this will be the sign to you that it is
I who have sent you: When you have brought
the people out of Egypt, you will worship God
on this mountain.
11
Moses said to God, Suppose I go to the

Israelites and say to them, The God of your
fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me,
What is his name? Then what shall I tell
them? 14God said to Moses, I am who I am.
This is what you are to say to the Israelites:
I am has sent me to you. 15God also said to
Moses, Say to the Israelites, The Lord, the
God of your fathersthe God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac and the God of Jacobhas sent
me to you.
13
This is my name forever, the name you shall

call me from generation to generation.

Farmacy
ANNOUNCEMENTS
We took poetic license to highlight our intergenerational

group of Black farmers from Pembroke, Illinois, who this
summer dispensed healthy food to residents from as
far away as Oak Park, Illinois to Munster, Indiana. We are
extremely grateful for their commitment to consistently
serve the Washington Heights community. In past years,
Trinitys Farmers Market suffered from a lack of farmers,
vendors, and customers. However, with the help of a twoyear, U.S. Department of Agriculture grant and exemplary
leadership from Trinitys Farmers Market Manager, Rose
Scott, Endeleo successfully marketed and promoted a
healthy food clinic that resulted in:
Six farmers (up from just two last season)
Nine vendors (an increase of six)
10 summer jobs for our youth
250 customers per week average (including 340 on the last market day!)
A slew of activities (cooking demos, Zumba, yoga, double-dutch jump rope, Smoothie Bike, health
screenings)
We successfully accomplished the dual goal of increasing the number of farmers and customers. In
essence, we accomplished much more in that we created a replicable model of cooperative economics
that allowed money to circulate within our community. Most important, we provided economic
opportunities for students who otherwise would not have had the chance to make money alongside
entrepreneurs who look like them. The crown jewel however, is awareness and exposure to Agriculture
Technology, a booming field where young people can potentially earn a great living, improve health
outcomes and mitigate the reliance on medication in our community.
Now thats a healthy prescription! Thanks everyone!

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 selfcontrol. 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)
May Kindness
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)
June Goodness
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)
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
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)
November Service One Another
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)
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)
MENS CHORUS ANNUAL CONCERT

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, Gods special possession, that you may
declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
