Day on the Island Mission Outreach Funds
Applications for receiving funds from the proceeds from DOI will be available in the church office beginning Monday, Sept. 13 and must be received no later than 5 PM on Wednesday Nov. 3. Funding must be used for the following purely charitable purposes: relief of the aged, church-related youth activities, religious instruction or worship, or construction or repair of church buildings or facilities. Only applications that meet these criteria and contain all documentation will be considered. Applicants will be notified within six weeks of the deadline.

Day on the Island Tour of Homes- in addition to a delicious lunch and lots of opportunities to shop, we have 5 fabulous homes for the tour:
~ Debra Brook & Mike Kemp's guest cottage- 206 Parkersburg Rd.
~ Jane & Cliff Cannon- 35 Waite Drive
~ Danny Cohen- 26 Mulberry Bluff Drive
~ Gina & Jim Reed- 4 Gale Break Circle
~ Wendy & Capers Martin- 6 Sunbury Lane

Golf Carts with Drivers Needed
Since we will be using parking lots at St. Thomas Episcopal Church and Isle of Hope Baptist Church, it would be great to have several golf carts to shuttle people back & forth to our church. If you would be available to help with this, please call Linda Martin at 355-3522 of Joy Gainer at 355-0869. Also, we are requesting that all of our workers please park in one of the other lots and leave our spaces for our guests.

Day On The Island is quickly approaching, and we are all so excited about our church "open house party." The Circle of Love invites you to look around and see what you might be able to offer for the Silent Auction. We are very excited about gifts of time and service as well as those white elephants that just don't fit into your life any longer. You may bring your donation items to the New Hope Sunday School classroom on Sunday, October 10th from 12:30-2:00pm, on Wed., October 13th from 6:00-8:00pm, and on Thurs., October 14th from 8:30am-4:00pm. Call Katherine Slagel @695-5200 to donate sooner.

The UMW will be hosting a "Live Auction" of premium items (trips, vacations, and treasures) on Wednesday, October 20th during Wednesday night supper. Please mark your calendars and get reservations early. Who knows what you may find? Please consider donating to this auction as well.

The Sugar and Spice Shop needs every church member to make a homemade baked good for DOI. Please sign up and let us know that we can count on you. All of our proceeds will go to missions. We will be packaging the items for you on Wed. and Thurs., Oct. 13th & 14th. We will send you a reminder card a week before Day on the Island. If you will bake an item, please email Jennifer Mims with your name and address at jgmims@comcast.net or call 598-0239.

Our Church Flower Guild is holding another flower demonstration on Tuesday, Octover 26th, 9:30 AM in the old youth building. We are so pleased to have a former member, Nancy Fuqua, to demonstrate for us. Nancy is very talented and I am sure you will gain so much from her. This is not only for our guild members but for anyone interested in becoming a member...and anyone interested in flower arranging! Please come and bring a friend.

Recycling at Isle of Hope UMC

Isle of Hope UMC is going green! We have started recycling within the church. We are collecting all of our office paper, aluminum cans and plastic bottles that we had been discarding in the trash. Goodwill will pick up the recyclables at no cost to the church, and they will receive funds for the materials to benefit their programs. The recycling bins for cans and bottles in the church hallways were paid for through donations from church members. We hope to grow until we are recycling all recyclable materials that we use. Many thanks to Marla Grady and Molly Sims for their vision and assistance in getting this started. If you are not recycling at home, we hope you will consider doing so.

Genesis 1:26 "God said, "Let us make man in our image, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over the earth, and over all creatures that move along the ground." Let's be good stewards of all the God has given us.

For Youth & College

We have an upcoming event for our high schoolers that I want everyone to be involved in! On Nov. 5^th-6^th, our youth will be taking part in an event entitled "Insomnia." The goal of this event is for our students to give up the opportunity of a good nights rest so that they can understand and appreciate all that God has blessed them with. We will also be raising money to provide beds for orphans in Uganda. Each student has been asked to raise $50. This event is for high school, but I would love if our whole church could come together and give towards this cause. And here's the best part - you do not have to give a large amount. You can contribute $1, $5, $10; however much you felt God calling you to give. Donations will be able to be given from now until Nov. 5^th, so let's come together and give for a good cause!
