ACTS 8:26-28 (niV)26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship, 28and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet.

Black History Month Call To WorshipMinister: Beautiful are the WORKS of God!

Congregation: Beautiful also are the SKINS of my people!

Minister: Beautiful is the MIND of God!

Congregation: Beautiful also are the HOPES of my people!

Minister: Beautiful is the HEART of God!

Congregation: Beautiful also are the SOULS of my people!

Minister: God made the heavens and the earth!

Congregation: And my people built the pyramids and the world’s first civilizations.

Minister: God made the Seven Seas!

Congregation: And my people were the first to sail them!

Minister: God made us; and God made all nations which dwell on the face of the earth!

Congregation: It is He that hath made us and not we ourselves!

Minister: With His blood He has saved us. By His Power, He has raised us!

Congregation: To God be the glory for the things He has done!

Minister: And always remember, my Father’s children, that God is GOOD…

Congregation: ALL THE TIME!

ALL: This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!


Confession of SinsAlmighty 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.

Guest MusicianDR. FReD onoVWeRoSUoke (“FredO”)Fred Onovwerosuoke’s diverse background has given rise to a varied compositional style. Born in Ghana to Nigerian parents, Onovwerosuoke grew up in both countries and eventually naturalized in the United States. “FredO,” as friends would call him, has traveled in more than thirty African countries doing field work and analyzing some of Africa's abundant music traditions. He has also traveled extensively in the American Deep South, the Caribbean, and South America for comparative research in what he likes to call “traceable musical Africanisms.” His influences are wide and varied, and he’s much at home discussing Handel and Mozart as he is talking about Jazz, Gospel, Reggae, African gonje, mbira, kora, kontingu and balafon riffs, Indian ragas, and more.

Onovwerosuoke’s works have been featured in audio recordings, films, documentaries and radio, including Robert De Niro’s film, The Good Shepherd, and soprano Marlissa Hudson’s CD, Libera. His numerous awards include multiple ASCAP Awards, American Music Center Award, Meet-The-Composer Award, and RAC Artist Fellowship Award. His book, Songs of Africa: 22 Pieces for Mixed Voices quickly became a favorite among choral directors across the globe, leading to the recent publications for upper voices, Songs of Africa for Upper Voices Set 1 and Songs of Africa for Upper Voices Set 2. His Twenty-four Studies in African Rhythms (in two volumes) is one of the most-demanded African-rhythm influenced piano studies known. His Twelve African Songs for Solo Voice & Piano also sets a similar pace, globally.

Fred Onovwerosuoke has served as Editor of the Voice of African Music newsletter and serves on the boards of various professional bodies, maintaining an active schedule as composer, scholar, and choral conductor.

February's title, An Apple for Harriett Tubman, by Glennette Tiley Turner shows how Black people use their resources to create new possibilities. Enslaved African-American children, like young Harriet Tubman, had to work hard. She spent long hours picking the juicy apples she loved, yet was forbidden to eat. Harriett made her escape to the North when she was grown and ultimately became the guiding force for the Underground Railroad. A storyteller from ASE, (pronounced Ah-SHAY), The Chicago Association of Black Storytellers, Aseblackstorytellers.org will be reading for this event.

ephesians 4:22-24 (niV)

22You were taught, with regard to your

former way of life, to put off your old self,

which is being corrupted by its deceitful

desires; 23to be made new in the attitude

of your minds; 24and to put on the

new self, created to be like God in true

righteousness and holiness.
