Order of Worship
Prelude:
Welcome/Announcements: Pastor Wayne
Hymn: O Worship the King On Screen
CALL TO WORSHIP Cheri Chapin
Leader: What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
People: He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Leader: Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
People: Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— who is at the right hand of God,who indeed is interceding for us.
Leader: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
All: No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Church Conference
Our first Church Conference will be October 28, 2024 at 6 pm here at New Hope GMC.
Second Saturday Munch Bunch
The Second Saturday Munch Bunch will meet for dinner on Saturday, October 12 at 5pm at the Wood Shop Social Restaurant located at 2336 S. Mission Street in Mt.Pleasant. The Second Saturday Munch Bunch is open to everyone in the church and is a great way to get to know other people. We usually meet at a restaurant the second Saturday of each month for dinner. Come enjoy a great meal, conversation, and fellowship! There is no obligation to going every second Saturday—come when you are able to! If you have never attended one of our outings, why not try us! There is a sign-up board located in the Narthex by the pastor’s office. Any questions, please call Laura Hall at231-972-7000.
Shoebox packing time is coming soon!
Look for the shoebox display in the narthex. There is an example of a packed shoebox, and shoeboxes that you can take and fill on your own. They come flat with directions for folding on one of the tabs. To give you ideas of what to put in the shoebox, there are lists for both boys and girls, as well as information about what cannot be sent. There are also sheets for children that can be filled out by children in your family and included in the box. You can also include a photo of you and your family so the child receiving the box can see who sent them the gift. It is recommended that the photo have a neutral background, for example a blank wall or trees or flowers outside. The idea is to not show them our possessions, which will only make them more aware of how little they have in comparison.
In addition, there is a poster with a list of the countries that shoeboxes have been sent to, and it's a long list! There are photos of children who have received shoeboxes, and some short stories of how their lives have been impacted.
Return filled shoeboxes and items you have purchased for our packing party to the chapel by November 3. Mary-Martha will be packing shoeboxes on Wednesday, November 6, beginning at 1:00. You are invited to join us and share in the fun of packing a shoebox fora child.
If you have questions, see Nancy Lepkowski, 231-972-4398, or Pat Leiter, 989-824-1113.

October’s ‘MISSION MOMENT’
The Mission and Community Outreach Ministries Group continues to provide or identify opportunities for our NH church family to ‘be in mission’ within our community so that we might make Disciples of Christ. Being in mission means reaching out primarily to people outside our own church and sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ. We are to put faith into action in a meaningful way whereby it gives hope, shows mercy, and uplifts those in our community who may be discouraged.
Upcoming Mission Activities:
>Campfire Music Gatherings (Oct 6-20 @ 5-7pm): Join us for weekly times of fellowship and music around the campfire. Bring your own snacks (to share), drink,chair, and a neighbor. And, feel free to bring an instrument/guitar to play, or just bring your voice to singalong.
>Food Drive (Oct 6-20): New Hope family, be part of this year’s food drive as we collect bags of food or monetary donations for God’s Helping Hands (food pantry). Bags can be picked up from the grocery cart in the narthex (entryway). Please drop off food in the cart.
>Royal View Worship Service (Oct 20th): Mission Team Members will be conducting the worship service and providing Communion for our friends at Royal View. Contact Wally if you would like to serve in this special ministry.
> ‘Trunk or Treat at NHGMC’: Our Family Night program for October needs your help. Please consider parking your vehicle (in NHGMC parking lot) and decorating your trunk. Pick a theme about a bible character or a bible story and share a little ‘info’ as we all hand out candy on Halloween(Oct 31st). Sign-Up sheet is at entrance to Fellowship Hall.
>Small Group Mission Activities: See other announcements about the great things our NHGMC Small Groups are doing to support mission ministries.

Let’s put our faith & words into loving action through mission work. <><
