We had a wonderful time in Messy Church on Wednesday, as we shared the book ‘The Dawn Chorus’ which inspired us to paint a morning sky with a silhouette bird. We also created our own colourful snails inspired by the painting by Henri Matisse from 1953. This week we are thinking about nature in our churchyard and ‘Caring for God’s Acre’. We reflected on what we hoped to find in the churchyard and surrounds and although there were some enthusiastic answers of “wolves”, “sharks” and crocodiles” 😂 we decided that it was more likely we would find birds, insects 🐞 🐝🦗🐜🪲🕷️and 🦌 deer 😊

It was a privilege to be the ‘tour guide’ on Tuesday evening for Shirley Tangent. I was only a stand in, but enjoyed the experience immensely. I loved sharing the history of Temple Balsall and how The Foundation of Lady Katherine Leveson came into being.
Thank you to Jenny Flower and your whole gathering for your enthusiasm and kindness.

God is good! Thank you to all the amazing people who made our Summer Fair possible. Thank you for your donations of gifts, baking skills, erecting tents, and all manner of preparation. Thank you for the late evenings and the early start today, for combating wind and rain and for keeping on smiling! Thank you for our generous sponsors: The Foundation of Lady Katherine Leveson and Hintons Nursery & Plant Centre. Thank you to Temple Balsall WI for baking and hosting today with a move off the lawn into The Old Hall. Thank you to our musical maestros: The Lady K Primary School Choir, ‘Who let the Uke’s out’, The Birmingham Concert Band and Norman on The Organ in church. Thank you to Terry and FastAid for supporting us with on site emergency health provision. Thank you to our wonderful community for coming along and supporting us and helping us in this fundraising event for the life and ministry of St Mary’s Church 🙏❤️

Summer Fair at Temple Balsall is still going ahead today at Midday. Please come suitably dressed ☔️ Sadly for Health & Safety our inflatables have been cancelled. We have lots of lovely things to mooch through on the TOY stall and ELEGANT CLUTTER, WI Refreshments are looking very tasty and our HOT DOGS sold out last year! The TOMBOLA has an array of delightful prizes and music 🎶 will fill the air on the lawn throughout the afternoon.
Please come and support our church fund raising event 😊💦🥾🌂

“As the forecast stands, and as the weather is currently playing out, it looks like we’re in for a day of heavy / persistent rain, which sadly makes it unsuitable for outdoor inflatables. The wind gusts are forecast at 31mph. All in all, I think we have no option but to cancel the outdoor activities. I’m so sorry for your event.

For reference, your event looks stunning in your photo. I hope it’s still a success. I understand the hard work that will have gone in to it.”

Thank you, Saul www.familyparties.co.uk #

Can you HELP? We understand it’s short notice, but if you are a children’s ’Face Painter’ and would like to come to St Mary’s Summer Fair this Saturday, 6th June from midday - 4pm (or part of it) we will set you up with a place on Temple House lawn. You are welcome to charge your normal prices to customers and if you are feeling generous, offer us a small donation for church at the end of the day.

Yesterdays Family Service on Trinity Sunday celebrated The Father who loves us, The Son who calls us and The Holy Spirit who equips us. Henry encouraged us to be ‘courageous advocates’ in our daily life of faith and we designed hands which became part of our display, symbolising that ‘everyone matters’ to God, Three in One. Thank you to all who participated and especially our young people who fill us with joy as we walk them in love and faith. 🙏❤️😊🎶
