(see insert)
Almighty God, we have your commandments to guide us but still we
have choices to make all the day long. In our foolishness so often we
know what is right, but we still select the wrong. Strengthen us in our
resolve to live according to your laws, and by the power of your
Holy Spirit help us to make the right choices.
Lord, help us never to view our services as a drudgery or our gifts
as a sacrifice. Help us instead always to give and serve in
enthusiastic response to your presence in our lives.

The Message to Ephesus
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the
words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who
walks among the seven golden lampstands:
2 “I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance. I
know that you cannot tolerate evildoers; you have tested those
who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them to be
false. 3 I also know that you are enduring patiently and bearing
up for the sake of my name, and that you have not grown
weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned
the love you had at first. 5 Remember then from what you have
fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will
come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless
you repent. 6 Yet this is to your credit: you hate the works of the
Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 Let anyone who has an ear
listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches. To everyone
who conquers, I will give permission to eat from the tree of life
that is in the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:1-7 (NRSV)

DOWN AT THE CROSS
(African American Heritage Hymnal #248)
Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied; Singin’ Glory to His name!
I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where He took me in; Singin’ Glory to His name!
Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean; Singin’ Glory to His name!
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete; Singin’ Glory, to His name!
Refrain
Singin’ Glory to His name. Precious name. Singin’ Glory to His name. Precious name.
There to my heart was the blood applied; Singin’ Glory to His name!
LORD, I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN
(African American Heritage Hymnal #463)
Lord, I want to be a Christian In my heart, in my heart;
Lord, I want to be a Christian In my heart.
In my heart, In my heart, In my heart, In my heart,
Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart. (in my heart)
Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart, in my heart;
Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart, In my heart, In my heart,
Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart. (in my heart)
Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart, in my heart;
Lord, I want to be more holy in my heart.
In my heart, in my heart, In my heart, In my heart,
Lord, I want to be a holy in my heart. (in my heart)
Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart, in my heart;

The Wall of Honor
Hope’s Wall of Honor is an everlasting tribute to our Veterans. It was designed and
donated to Hope by Brother Sid Taylor, a US Marine, Vietnam combat veteran and
beloved member of Hope. It is a memorial tribute to commemorate the sacrifices our
veterans have made for our country. We are grateful to Sid and his family for blessing
us all with the beautiful Wall of Honor.
7
New names are added to the Wall of Honor every Veteran’s Day. If you, a loved one, or
a friend served in the armed forces and would like to be added to the Wall, please
complete the Wall of Honor form located in the Literature Rack and place it in the Wall of
Honor mailbox outside the Sanctuary. God bless you.

THANK-YOU

Hope United Methodist Church Cancer Support Ministry
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Take Yourself, Friend and/or Church Member to Get Checked
Join us Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 7:00 PM in the Library
Our guest speaker is Dr. Delano R. Smalls, MD—Cardiology Consultant
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.
Breast Cancer can be very aggressive survival is greater if caught early!

Like many of you, I have been watching the news of the devastating impact of Hurricane Harvey
on the Texas coast. Our hearts go out to every person whose home, livelihood and life have been
affected by this powerful storm.
I have been praying for the safety and well-being of all people in the affected areas, including
friends I’ve made through the years in The Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist
Church, Louisiana Conference of The United Methodist Church, Río Texas Conference of The
United Methodist Church and Central Texas Conference. I also pray for those offering assistance
like the first responders and UMCOR – United Methodist Committee On Relief. I know you join me
in prayer, and I also know that Michigan United Methodists want to offer help. Here are a few
ways you can do so:
• Assemble relief kits http://www.umcor.org/…/Relief-S…/Relief-Supply-Kits/Cleaning
• Give to UMCOR’s relief and recovery efforts with gifts to U.S. Disaster Response Advance
#901670.
• Donate only those items requested by UMCOR.
Please prepare, but wait for an invitation to volunteer from UMCOR in the regions affected. We
need to let first responders complete their mission before we arrive.
Please follow our web page news.michiganumc.org for the latest information on our efforts to help
those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Thank you for your prayers and concern.
Grace and Peace,
David Alan Bard
