Autumnfest
In early Fall, we welcome back members who have moved away and we celebrate Hayes Barton UMC's rich heritage.  After the 11:00 a.m. worship service, we gather in the Church Fellowship Hall for an old-fashioned covered dish luncheon and fellowship with old and new church family members.  Entertainment is provided.
 
Easter Sunrise Breakfast
After our Easter Sunrise Service, join with us in our traditional Hayes Barton Easter Sunrise Breakfast in the Church Fellowship Hall.  Come as you are and share in the joy of Easter with our church family.
 
Summer Activities
Activities include Vacation Bible School and other special activities planned and coordinated by teachers and parents.  Children are encouraged to participate in Conference Camps and other district events.  Other opportunities include the Acolyte Program, All Church Retreats, Choirs, and Advent Activities.
 
Our Regular Events

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.

 
Our Annual Events

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.
