community lunches
We host a community lunch at the church once a month on a Wednesday, from 12:30 pm and welcome guests from our neighbourhood who would appreciate a two-course meal, with tea/coffee and mints, in the company of others.
The lunches are usually held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
We ask for a donation towards the meal, but please don’t let that put you off coming if you would like to.
Hayes Community food bank
A basket has been placed at the back of the church for your food donations to the Hayes Community Food Bank. Every item placed in there really does make a difference!
Alternatively, financial donations can be made via our treasurer (cash or cheques made to ‘Hayes Community Foodbank’), or the Foodbank’s bank details can be provided.
In addition to food donations, each week volunteers go shopping to make sure that supported families receive what they need.
Thank you.

Are you looking to explore your creative side?
Age Concern's painting group might just be what you're looking for.
With a friendly atmosphere and an opportunity to create art while enjoying the company of others.
The group has been meeting since 2000. Led by Diana Knights since 2002, the group is now a regular activity of the Coney Hill Baptist Church at Hayes Village Hall.

Messy Church
Have you ever heard of Messy Church?
It's a different kind of church experience that's full of fun and excitement!
You don't have to worry about wearing fancy clothes here, in fact, it's encouraged to wear something comfortable that you won't mind getting a bit messy in.
Messy Church is all about exploring your faith in a hands-on and interactive way, so get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive right in!
It's held each month in Hayes Village Hall and we would love for you to join us.
the wide world
Though a local church living our faith where we are, we are also excited that we belong to a worldwide family.
We love to engage with God’s people across the globe in different ways, especially to encourage the building of God’s kingdom among the poor and the marginalised.
Haiti
Since 2005, a young church member has provided hospitality for a Haitian pastor visiting the UK.
We have been involved in setting up a charity to help finance a new hospital in the northern part of this impoverished country.
A first visit was made in Dec. 2005 and again in October 2006 to refurbish and open a new clinic. The opening of a respite home for children with disabilities followed. Since the earthquake in 2010, a cholera treatment centre, a spinal rehab unit, and a maternity and pediatric unit have also been built.
Please visit Haitihospitalappeal.com for more details.
London
Closer to home but still representing an opportunity to engage in World Wide Mission on our doorstep, London City Mission is an organisation we support in many ways. Not least by our popular annual ‘Toy Service’ on the first Sunday of December each year.
Romania
We have had links with a church in Valea Lui Mihai, North-Western Romania, 5km from the Hungarian border over several years.
We regularly visit, running children’s holiday clubs in the summer and, most recently, sending a team out to help set up a preschool.
We have also supported the church by building an ambitious new premises.
Taiwan
Another agency supported by our church is OMF International. In particular, the work, among students and others in Taiwan, of Martin and Angela Symonds.
Thailand
We are committed supporters of BMS World Mission, formerly the Baptist Missionary Society, the longest-serving missionary agency in the world. Our particular link missionaries are Paul & Sarah Brown, who work with ‘Nightlight’ in Bangkok. You can follow their work on their website blog here.
