What a lovely sunny day today! Give thanks! And maybe come and worship with us on Sunday - @ 9:30 its Switch, the informal service in the Hall, and at 11:00 and more traditional but quieter service of Communion in church.
Just a brief reminder that this Sunday is *our* Harvest Festival. We shall be celebrating at 9:30 with a special Harvest Festival Communion Service! Do bring your gifts of fresh fruit and vegetables 🥗 & we shall take them to Narthex Foodbank and Community Kitchen in Sparkhill

We also have some #stainedglass at St Peter Balsall Common, which isn’t bad - in fact, in artistic and heritage terms, its probably one of our best points! Late Birmingham ‘arts and crafts’ maybe (circa 1954). #BalsallHeritage …
