There are many interesting things happening at our church!
OCTOBER was a very exiting month at the Hayward Adventist Church as we hosted the evangelism team from the SOULS West School of Evangelism the whole month. Family Ministry organized our Annual Seniors Lunch, and we celebrated October birthdays and Pastor Appreciation Month at our monthly All-church Potluck.
The SOULS West team members participated in our worship services, joined us on a Saturday afternoon walk, and were our guests at our monthly potluck where several team members had birthdays. They visited 100,000 homes in the area, sold 6,000 books, and generated 60 Bible study interests!
Our annual Seniors Lunch, hosted by Family Ministries,
brought those 60+ together for a delicious, hot pot lunch.
We celebrated Pastor Appreciation month and October birthdays
as well as welcomed our SOULS West guests at our monthly All-church Potluck.
