Biographical Sketch For<br />
The Reverend Michael Anthony Parker, II<br />
Reverend Michael Anthony Parker, II is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. He<br />
is the 2nd eldest of four children.<br />
Reverend Parker graduated from the Baltimore School for the Arts in 2002,<br />
where he majored in Vocal Music. He completed his undergraduate<br />
studies at Coppin State University, obtaining a Bachelor of Arts in English.<br />
He obtained a Master of Divinity degree at Wesley Theological Seminary<br />
in Washington D.C. In addition, Pastor P, as he is affectionately known, is a<br />
Provisional Elder in The United Methodist Church.<br />
Rev. Parker currently serves as the Church Planter in Residence for<br />
Resurrection East, a new faith initiative of the Baltimore-Washington<br />
Conference. Prior appointments have included St. John's in Pumphrey,<br />
New Beginnings Fellowship, Tabernacle United Methodist Church, St.<br />
James United Methodist Church and Ames United Methodist Church in Bel<br />
Air, MD. Very active in the United Methodist Church, his denominational<br />
duties have been vast, including serving as an elected Delegate to the<br />
2012 General & Northeastern Jurisdictional Conferences.<br />
Pastor P’s motto can be easily summed up in Isaiah 61:4, “They will rebuild<br />
the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew<br />
the ruin cities that have been devastated for generations.” Desiring to use<br />
all his gifts for the advancement of God’s Kingdom, Pastor P is on the<br />
move for bringing God glory in all he does.<br />

The Wall of Honor<br />
Hope’s Wall of Honor is an everlasting tribute to our Veterans. It was designed and<br />
donated to Hope by Brother Sid Taylor, a US Marine, Vietnam combat veteran and<br />
beloved member of Hope. It is a memorial tribute to commemorate the sacrifices our<br />
veterans have made for our country. We are grateful to Sid and his family for blessing<br />
us all with the beautiful Wall of Honor.<br />

New names are added to the Wall of Honor every Veteran’s Day. If you, a loved one, or<br />
a friend served in the armed forces and would like to be added to the Wall, please<br />

Honor mailbox outside the Sanctuary. God bless you.

MATURE DISCIPLES MINISTRY<br />
BRIEF HISTORY<br />
Zelma Smith-Dexter and Muriel Eaton approached Pastor Stewart in<br />
January, 1999 regarding a Hope Church senior group. Rev. Betty Whitely<br />
was appointed by Pastor Stewart to form a ministry for persons fifty and<br />
older. Rev. Whitely selected ten seasoned Hope members to meet <strong>June</strong> 25,<br />
1999, with Pastor Stewart in attendance. He gave encouragement by saying<br />
this was the beginning of a great adventure and asked to be an honorary<br />
member. All 50+ persons male and female are welcome to be a part. Our<br />
purpose is to give support and have camaraderie with those who have<br />
similar experiences and interests through religious, social and educational<br />
activities; like short bus trips, educational forums, crafts, bake sales,<br />
seminars, workshops and nursing home visits. We have added Black history<br />
exhibits, Senior Day during the Festival of Hope, Grandparents' Luncheon, a<br />
prayer breakfast, and Christmas luncheon. Our meetings are held the<br />
second Tuesday of each month at one o'clock or join us for any of our<br />
activities.<br />
<strong>June</strong> 24, <strong>2018</strong> is the celebration of our 19th anniversary. God continues to<br />
bless our ministry spiritually and in all our many endeavors.<br />
MISSION STATEMENT<br />
Mature Disciples are a Holy Spirit directed body of Christian believers who<br />
are spiritually developed and committed to studying, sharing and living the<br />

and outreach activities to Hope United Methodist Church, local<br />
churches and the larger community, , demonstrating their faith and the<br />
beauty of longevity through their dedicated lifestyle and service to others.<br />
VISION STATEMENT<br />

Hope United Methodist Church Cancer Support Ministry<br />
<strong>June</strong> is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month<br />
Prevention and Early Detection Can Improve Your Quality of Life<br />
Join us Tuesday, <strong>June</strong> 12, <strong>2018</strong> at 7:00 PM in the library as we support those<br />
persons (including caregivers) going through the cancer experience.<br />
What is prostate cancer? Cancer that occurs in a man’s prostate (a small walnut shaped<br />
gland). This is a very common cancer in men and it usually grows slowly.<br />
Symptoms: Prostate cancer may not cause signs or symptoms in its early stages. More<br />
advanced cancer may cause trouble urinating, blood in urine or semen, swelling of the legs,<br />
discomfort in the pelvic area, bone pain.<br />
Risk factors include older age (usually 65+), being black where there is a greater risk to be<br />
more aggressive and more advanced, family history, being obese.<br />
Prevention: Choose a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables-one nutrient consistently<br />
linked with the prevention of prostate cancer is lycopene, found in raw or cooked tomatoes.<br />
Choose healthy foods over supplements because there are no studies that have found a<br />
benefit to supplements in comparison to healthy diet.<br />
Exercise most days of the week to improve your health and maintain weight and mood.<br />
Talk to your Dr. about your risk of getting prostate cancer.<br />
Tests and Diagnosis: There is not agreement in the medical community as to the benefit of<br />
testing men with no symptoms however; it is recommended that men get tested in their 40’s<br />
or sooner depending on risk factors.<br />
Prostate Screening might include: Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) Insertion of finger in rectum to<br />
examine prostate, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Test-blood sample is drawn and<br />
analyzed<br />
If detected other tests may be indicated like an ultra sound, collecting sample of tissue,<br />
bone scan, CT or MRI.<br />
