RICE & BEANS CHALLENGE
-- Those who were in church last Sunday were given a "rice & beans" packet to take home (along with recipe) to prepare for a family meal in order to experience what a family in Haiti would eat for the entire day. After prayerful consideration, we ask you to make a gift in the amount of what you would normally spend on your family meal (or any donation that God leads you to give).
During the month of October, Hayward Wesleyan Church is seeking to raise $10,000 through this project so that a clean water well can be drilled in Haiti.

WHAT IS FAITH PROMISE GIVING?
Faith Promise giving is our commitment made to missions, usually done at the time of missions focus. 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 on Sunday, Sept. 21 & 28.

Children’s Jackets, Shoes, Hats & Mittens needed
….. The Overcomers Ministry will be making their annual missions trip to the First Nation Ojibwe Reserve in Northern Ontario October 26-28th to provide Thanksgiving dinner to people in this community of 900 and bring children’s jackets, shoes, hats and mittens (new or nearly new).

Membership @ Hayward Wesleyan Church
HWC is part of a denomination (a large network) of churches called The Wesleyan Church. Recently, our denomination enacted a big change in its approach to local church membership. The Wesleyan Church now requires an annual “reaffirmation” of membership. Each year at this time, church members will be asked to renew their membership commitments. For those who are not already members, if you have interest in becoming a member of HWC please contact the church office or
email here
and we will follow up with next steps! If you have further questions, please feel free to contact any of our pastoral staff.
October is Pastor Appreciation Month
!
The Church Board invites you to show your love and appreciation to our pastors in any way you choose - a card, an encouraging word, and most of all your prayers.
Our love and sympathy is extended to Grete Wolfe
on the recent passing of her sister.
