A Sort of Baby Cafe for 'new and expectant mums' (carers, Dads and Grandparents also welcome) meeting weekly in the Hall, alongside the toddler activity formerly known as Play and Stay - so that parents with children of all under-school ages can come - good coffee, home made cake, and mutual support. (In termtimes). Play & Stay lets the kids run around in a safe environment with lots of space, while their carers relax a bit! Small charge to cover costs of replacing equipment etc.

A new way of being church, informal worship, as our main Service once a month, usually held in the Hall. Suitable for families with young children, or others who like a less formal service, the worship lasts about 45 minutes, followed by refreshments. The 'contemporary style' worship is all very informal, with activities for all ages and needs but includes songs, teaching and prayer and a time for reflection for those who seek it.

nearly every week, we have a Eucharistic service, using Common Worship (modern language) - in church, and we livestream the service as it happens and this can be viewed at any time afterwards, using the link on the website or in the week’s newsletter. ( www.spcbalsall.church/service/ )

The service begins at 9.30 and the refurbished church building allows us flexibility in worship ... A sung Eucharist open to all is held most Sundays - unless we are having a Family Eucharist - which is even more open but may be less traditional! All our main services are followed by 'refreshments' in the Hall, where Fairtrade goods are also on sale.

We invite all who may be lonely or who enjoy a sociable cuppa to join us in the Baptistry (lounge) on the Second Thursday of each month, for tea and home made cake, and conversation. This is particularly suitable for older people, but all are welcome and during the winter, this links with our ‘Warm Hub’ activity every Thursday - but once a month with Cake!

When there are five Sundays in a month, we usually hold a special less traditional service on the fifth Sunday. This will usually follow the Cafe Church format, family friendly with pastries (or doughnuts, or similar) and coffee! Come and try one, all welcome. Look for the poster outside church.
