 We are one body in Christ. To fulfill God’s mission for our church, we must all work together and know one another. At Hayes Barton UMC, we are fortunate to have a large, active membership; but this blessing brings the challenge of staying connected. Our Fellowship Ministry was created to be intentional about the cultivation of interpersonal relationships within the church. We do this through a series of annual and regularly offered events, which bring together members of all ages.
Events are typically advertised through the church newsletter, the bulletin, this website, and church-wide emails. There’s room for your gifts and talents on our team! If you are interested in joining this ministry, please contact the Ministry Chairperson listed below. Our Purpose: To build community within our congregation by providing opportunities for cross-generational fellowship through annual events and regular activities.
We are currently in the process of creating additional fellowship opportunities. Please stay tuned…

Fellowship Hour - Fellowship Ministry coordinates the Sunday morning “Fellowship Hour”, where coffee, juice and breakfast treats are made available on the patio (weather permitting) or inside the church. These refreshments are available after the 8:30 service until the start of the 11:00 service. Please join us! Wednesday Evening Fellowship - From September through May, the entire church body has the opportunity to meet for a prepared supper in the Church Fellowship Hall on Wednesday evenings at 5:30 p.m. Cost is minimal. Call the church office to make reservations before noon Mondays. After a relaxed time of eating and fellowship and a brief time of sharing, we engage in Bible Study or workshops on a variety of topics. Children are also involved in Bible Study and choir programs. Older youth may participate in other activities. Child care is available. Each year in early Fall, our Wednesday night program features 5 weeks of bible study taught by Dr. Mickey Efird, a local favorite. |

FallFest is a big evening of food, fun and fellowship for all ages. Activities include Karaoke, Bingo, Inflatables, Face Painting, Cake Walk, Dunking Booth and more. Everyone is encouraged to dress-up in family-friendly costumes. Shrove Tuesday symbolizes a night of fun and festivities before delving into the somber and reflective days of Lent. Our Youth serve a pancake dinner, accompanied by a Dixieland Jazz Band. Games and activities are available all around the grounds. Advent Workshop - Though this event is different every year, the intent is to focus on the meaning of the season while engaging in fun group activities. The workshop is typically offered at the beginning of the Advent Season. |
