If you have interest in being baptized on that day please talk to a pastor or contact the church office. Or, if you have a story of how God is at work in your life, please pass it along to Pastor Chad at [email protected] .
GUEST SPEAKER this Sunday:

Rob is a missionary in Hungary with Josiah Venture. Rob and his wife lead a growing team committed to reaching and discipling this next generation through intentional relationships, creative evangelism, and leadership development.
GLOBAL MISSIONS FOCUS 2018
WHAT IS FAITH PROMISE GIVING?
 Faith Promise giving is our commitment made to missions and missionaries our church supports. We look to the Lord "in faith", asking how much He would have us give, then promise to give as the Lord directs. Our regular tithes and offerings are needed in the work of the church, but are not sufficient to get the gospel to the world. Faith Promise is a pledge between you and God. Step out "in faith" - and you will be surprised what God can do!

FAITH PROMISE COMMITMENTS for the coming year will be collected this Sunday, October 28.

Buy this beautiful bookshelf and help drill a clean water well in Haiti!

This canoe bookshelf was hand-made by a group of skilled craftsmen at Hayward Wesleyan. There are about 100 man hours in the construction of it. Bids are being taken and all proceeds from the sale will go towards our Water Well project.
SIMON’S SURPLUS is a new food distribution program that will be held in the church gym on the 4th Saturday of each month, beginning this Saturday, October 27th , with distribution being from 9:30-11. Each "share" will be $25 with half shares available for $13, and primarily produce. All are welcome to participate; it is not need based. Please "like" it on Facebook to stay informed and to pre-purchase a share. Shares can also be purchased at the door (depending on availability). Questions can be directed to Alyssa at [email protected].
