Welcome to the Hayward church of Christ website. Please take a few minutes to browse around and look us over. It is our aim to encourage, strengthen, and offer the way of salvation that God has revealed in His word--the Bible. We also want to provide resources and Biblically sound material for you to use in personal study. Feel free to contact us and let us know what you think. Or, better yet, come worship with us when you have the opportunity.

A RECORD OF YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS FOR TAXES!
If you would like a record for your taxes, please contact Tim Brown and make sure he has your correct address. He will mail to you, but we don't need to send your information to an incorrect address. Thanks....
NEW EQUIPMENT NOW ON LINE!
We purchased and installed new streaming equipment to mitigate the glitches we have been experiencing. (yay!) Sunday it worked quite well. Cathy is ironing out the little things, but the jumpy video and erratic audio should have improved greatly.
Thanks for your patience. dm
URGENT UPDATE! BACK TO STREAMING ONLY.
We will not be meeting Sunday Evening at 6pm for the near future.
The state has gone back to condition "RED." They are asking us to meet outdoors, or not at all.
We have decided to go back to the original lockdown strategy we used in March. We will have just those serving attend. We will do all we can to help facilitate your home worship service. We think this will be a temporary, but necessary step.
If you feel safe to do so, you might meet with another person or two in homes. Please practice good common sense safety measures.
You can pick up communion supplies if necessary. Call Tim, David, Curtis, etc. and we can work something out.
You can drop off your offering also, or mail it.
We fill follow the direction of the elders before until we decide differently as the situation changes.
The bulletin will be online Friday evening or Saturday morning. Below these announcements is a link. Just below "Current Bulletin" Or you can just click HERE.
ATTENTION: ( This weeks bulletin is posted. 3:30 P.M. Sat. Jan 16th, 2021) The "Barnabas list" is with the bulletin and has been updated again for January. (Explains all of the people on the prayer list in the bulletin)
Limited gatherings again. :/
We will stream morning worship at the scheduled times,
We still need to be vigilant to protect each other.
Ongoing message until the status is changed:
Regarding the offering. (members only)
It is suggested that you set aside your offering and have it ready for when we can meet again. Or you can mail a check to the building if you prefer, drop it by the building if you happen to be by here (mailbox is on the East side by the door) when going to the store, etc.
Call Tim Brown if you wish to electronically contribute directly. He can give you the information.
We will still be streaming Wednesday Evening.
You can observe the stream on Youtube, or join the conversation on Zoom. Juan can get you the link for Zoom if you wish.
Sunday morning class should begin this next Lords' day at 9:45. Brother Elbeck will begin a class series. There will be a book available. (when it arrives) We'll announce how to get a copy.
The Sunday AM class will be on Zoom also. Same rules if you want to respond. We just have to work out the audio to the teacher.
Please continue to be in touch with each other and certainly pray for a swift end to this.
What good can come out of this?
We know that The Lord works in mysterious ways. We can't often see what He intends accomplish by events.
Shouldn't the keepers of true peace, love, and joy, be ready and anxious to take advantage of the situation and show them what we have? (That's us)
