The Offertory Invitation
O Lord, too often we have thought that we must withdraw from
the world in order to follow your teachings faithfully. Help us to
understand that we are to be a part of the world but not
controlled by it. Let us be as lights in the darkness, bringing
your message into the world so that the evils may be uncovered.
The Offertory Prayer
Heavenly Father, your Church stands as a beacon in
today’s world, trying to warn people of the treacherous
rocks that could so easily bring disaster. May our gifts be
used to keep that light shining, and may we be used as light
-keepers. Divine love through me blesses and multiplies all
that I have, all that I give, and all that I receive, in the name
of Jesus. Amen

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.

Employment Updates
Hope UMC Family, in our efforts to right size our church as mentioned at the State of the
Church and Town Hall meetings, we have had to make some hard decisions. 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!

Exciting Ministry Opportunities
working with Hope’s Youth!
The Christian Education ministry has an immediate need
for persons to volunteer for the Historically Black College
Tour and Youth Confirmation classes.
Historically Black College Tour ministry leader and chaperones:
This service opportunity offers you a chance to tour 10 of the nation’s phenomenal
historically black colleges with an energetic group of high school students in April 2015.
Youth Confirmation teachers:
Join a team of members devoted to preparing our youth to confess Christ as Lord and
Savior and take their church membership vows. Teachers choose to lead an impactful
lesson on such topics as God, Salvation, and United Methodist history and participate
in the very moving Youth Confirmation ceremony held annually in May.
If you’d like more information and to discuss how you can become a part of the
Christian Education ministry team, please contact Evelyn Summerville for additional
information today.

Dear Hope Family & Friends,
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Our future is very bright. Thank you Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost. An infusion has begun to come in as requested. Things are being
done to “right-size” our ministry in order to get positioned to thrive once again. We are
asking each household to give beyond their regular tithes and offerings, according to their
ability, in one of four ways by the end of October 2014 as follows: 1) $250, 2) $500, 3)
$750, 4) $1,000. We are extending the time for those who would like to complete one
of the levels but need additional time to do so.
While the four ways mentioned above provide a goal based on ability to give, please know
that any amount below or above will be greatly appreciated. Please see the pie chart to
discover where we stand in our endeavor. Thank you all.
To God be the Glory,
Rev. Cornelius Davis, Jr., Senior Pastor

Hope United Methodist Church Cancer Support Ministry
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Take Yourself, Friend and/or Church Member to Get Checked
Breast Cancer can
be very aggressive
survival is greater if
caught early!
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.
