John 11:43-44 (nRSV)
RoMAnS 8:31-34 (kJV)
When he had said this, he cried
with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come
out!” 44The dead man came out, his
hands and feet bound with strips
of cloth, and his face wrapped in a
cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind
him, and let him go.”
What shall we then say to these
things? If God be for us, who can be
against us? 32He that spared not his
own Son, but delivered him up for
us all, how shall he not with him also
freely give us all things? 33Who shall
lay any thing to the charge of God’s
elect? It is God that justifieth. 34Who
is he that condemneth? It is Christ
that died, yea rather, that is risen
again, who is even at the right hand
of God, who also maketh intercession
for us.

MARk 5:25-29 (kJV)
And a certain woman, which had
an issue of blood twelve years, 26And
had suffered many things of many
physicians, and had spent all that
she had, and was nothing bettered,
but rather grew worse, 27When she
had heard of Jesus, came in the press
behind, and touched his garment.
28
For she said, If I may touch but
his clothes, I shall be whole. 29And
straightway the fountain of her
blood was dried up; and she felt in
her body that she was healed of that
plague.

MINISTER:
At times, because of our lack of knowledge and understanding,
we find ourselves separated from our sisters and brothers with
serious mental illness and substance abuse, as well as their
families. We pray that God will help us all dispel ignorance and
misinformation about substance abuse and serious mental
illnesses, such as major depression, bipolar disorder,
schizophrenia, panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and
obsessive compulsive disorder.
ALL:
We acknowledge that we are often uninformed about these issues
and how they impact persons and their families.
MINISTER:
We pray that the cloud of stigma, labels, exclusion, and
marginalization might be dispelled for the sake of those touched
by mental illness and substance abuse. We pray that we may
be containers of hope for persons and families living with mental
health challenges. We pray also for better treatment, for steadier
recovery, and for greater opportunity to work and serve.
ALL:
We pray that troubled minds and hearts, and broken lives and
relationships might be healed.
MINISTER:
O God, we seek the power of Your Spirit; that we may live in
fuller union with You, ourselves, and those living with mental
health issues. Grant that we may gain courage to love and
understand each other, as You love and understand us.
ALL:
We live with gratitude for compassionate and dedicated caregivers
and mental health professionals, for new discoveries in brain
research, and better medications. Amen.

MiniSTeR CALVon JoneS
Guest Preacher Bios
MiniSTeR CARoL TAyLoR was ordained a Deacon
in the United Church of Christ denomination. After receiving
her call to ministry, Carol attended McCormick Theological
Seminary in Chicago. In 2008, she received a Masters
of Divinity degree and was the recipient of the Marshall

seeking to pursue a D.Min. in the same field from SFTS.
Min. Carol is a member of Trinity’s Prison Ministry and

the church serves as true disciples of Jesus Christ.
Outside of her ministry at Trinity UCC, Min. Carol teaches an ecumenical Bible study class, which
began over 15 years ago with a small group of United Methodist women and has blossomed to
include women of diverse Christian denominations and ethnic backgrounds across the Chicagoland

to those whom Jesus called the “least of these.”

Cornered…
The dark clouds hovering over the store
in the photo represent change in the air.
After a bit of research and calls to the corporate office, the stores slated for closure across the
country (which number 200) are apparently underperforming, and have been, to the point that the
decisions were made possibly as early as last year. In Washington Heights, a community staple like
Walgreens where folks shop for goods ranging from medicine to milk, this is a potentially devastating
situation for a neighborhood already designated a “food desert” where lack of access to healthy
fruits and vegetables is pronounced.
Like in most food desert communities, preventable diseases (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease)
in Washington Heights run rampant. It only heightens the public health issues faced by our very
large senior population and exacerbates an already blighted 95th Street Commercial Corridor.
Economically, it greatly underscores the lack of opportunity in Black neighborhoods, forcing families
to make extremely difficult choices, often resulting in the growth and expansion of dollar stores.
When a national chain leaves our neighborhoods to consolidate, that means (without our input) a
decision was made about our community. The core mission of the Endeleo Institute is to strengthen
existing assets in the Washington Heights community. As such, the Carter G. Woodson Regional
Library (located just across the street from Walgreens) was the first salvo in revitalizing the asset that
is our commercial retail corridor.
In this store closing, we definitely see a silver lining. This is a community leadership opportunity to
campaign for a high quality grocery store/coffee shop to anchor that high traffic corner. Then, in 2017
with the library project completed, Washington Heights’ residents can point to 95th and Halsted as
the cornerstone of a Black-owned, community co-op store. Let’s fill this prescription ourselves.

AnnoUnCeMenTS
Once ubiquitous across Chicago,
Walgreens stores are mysteriously disappearing from those “Happy and Healthy Corners” they once
dominated. The store closures are most disturbing, particularly because they seem to be occurring
in mostly African American neighborhoods. For example, stores in Chatham and Roseland have
closed recently and the latest is the 95th Street and Halsted store in our own Washington Heights
community. Indeed, the sign on the sliding door notifying customers (August 11th) is quite a shock.

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. Don’t 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 Heaven’s 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
you—I, 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 self-control.
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 God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into
your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You
didn’t 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)
