Cornelius Davis, Jr., Senior Pastor Praise & Worship Music Ministry Opening Prayer Scripture: Matthew 22:1-14 Today’s Message: “A Seat at the Banquet” Rev. Cornelius Davis, Jr. Invitation to Discipleship Offering (Please Come Forward) Benediction & Going Forth “The Lord bless you, and keep you: The Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 (KJV) 3 HOLD TO GOD’S UNCHANGING HAND (African American Heritage Hymnal #404) Time is filled with swift transition. Naught of earth unmoved can stand. Build your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging hand. Trust in Him who will not leave you. Whatsoever years may bring. If by earthly friends forsaken, Still more closely to Him cling. Covet not this world’s vain riches That so rapidly decay. Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures. They will never pass away. When your journey is completed, If to God you have been true, Fair and bright the home in Glory Your enraptured soul will view. Hold to His hand, God’s unchanging hand. Hold to His hand, God’s unchanging hand. Build your hopes on things eternal. Hold to God’s unchanging hand. WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS (African American Heritage Hymnal #431) 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! 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. 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 despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer; In His arms He’ll take and shield thee-- Thou wilt find a solace there. 4 SPECIAL PRAYER REQUESTS FOR HOPE MEMBERS AND LOVED ONES Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

We have had to make some cuts as you have been seeing and changing some job descriptions in order to streamline our day to day work flow and also get the best possible solutions to better support our needs. As we make further changes we deeply regret to announce that we had to make additional staff changes and the position of Receptionist / Hospitality / Membership position held by Mrs. Raye Townsend has been changed effective September 27,2014. As a result she no longer holds that position. We are grateful for all the hard work and long hours she has given to support the efforts of Hope UMC over the years in a lot of areas. She is still a member of Hope and she still has all the rights and privileges of any other Hope Member. Let’s continue to thank her for her time spent as an employee here. Tillecha Harris is the Membership Secretary and she is a volunteer Ministry leader for the position. She was voted into position at the 2013 Charge conference and will continue the upkeep of membership records. A new position has been created and combined to better meet our needs at this time; it is Receptionist/Office Assistant. This position will be filled with new employee and staff member Ms. Erika Briggs effective October 1, 2014. Let us welcome Erika as she comes aboard not only to be a receptionist but to be an assistant to our office staff and clergy. She may be contacting some of you who are available during the day to help with the volunteer schedule she will be putting into place. Please feel free to contact her at our main number 248-356-1020 if you have skills which will help the church and can be done during daytime hours. Let us continue to pray as we continue to make adjustments in our efforts to right size our church in a godly manner. Candidates Day - Sunday, October 19, 2014 Next Sunday is Candidates' Day at Hope! Please plan to meet the candidates following the 7:30 am and 10:30 am services in Fellowship Hall. Learn their positions on the issues and get your questions answered before casting your vote on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4. Remember each and every vote, especially yours, counts!

Join us Tuesday, October 14 at 7:00 PM in the Library Our guest speaker is Dr. Michele Reid, Psychiatrist What is Breast Cancer? Cancer that forms in the cells of breasts. There are numerous kinds of breast cancers, but cancer that begins in the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) is the most common. It can occur in both men and women. Symptoms: May include: ♦ A breast lump, thickening, or hardness that feels different from surrounding tissue, bloody nipple discharge, change in size or shape of breast, changes in the skin over the breast such as dimpling, redness, or pitting like an orange What can you do to help yourself or others? Check yourself the same time every month and see a doctor if you see or feel a lump or ANY change in your breast! Encourage others to do the same. Risk Factors: ♦ Women are much more likely than men to develop breast cancer and women older than 55 have a greater risk than younger women. ♦ If you've had breast cancer in one breast, you have an increased risk of developing cancer in the other breast. Continue to see your Oncologist for regular assessments. ♦ If you have a mother, sister or daughter with breast cancer, you have a greater chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer. ♦ Certain gene mutations that increase the risk of breast cancer can be passed from parents to children. ♦ If you received radiation treatments to your chest as a child or young adult. ♦ Being overweight or obese increases your risk of breast cancer because fat tissue produces estrogen that may help fuel certain cancers. ♦ Beginning your period at or before age 12 or menopause at an older age like 55. ♦ Having your first child at an older age like after age 35 may have an increased risk. ♦ Postmenopausal hormone therapy that combine estrogen and progesterone to treat the signs and symptoms of menopause have an increased risk of breast cancer. ♦ Drinking alcohol increases the risk of breast cancer. Experts recommend no more than one alcoholic beverage a day for women. PREVENTION: Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all, exercise most days of the week, aim for 30 minutes, limit postmenopausal hormone therapy, maintain a healthy weight. Breast cancer prevention for women with a high risk: Talk with your doctor about preventative medications (estrogen blocking) or prophylactic surgeries such as removal of healthy breasts. Tests and Diagnosis: ♦ Breast Exam by you and your doctor, mammogram or x-ray of the breast, breast ultrasound to produce images of the breast deep within, removing a sample of breast cells for testing (biopsy), breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to create pictures of the interior of your breast.
