BRBK and Crèche during August
There will be no BRBK during the month of August. We will provide a table near to the stained-glass window which will have wordsearches, colouring activities and other simple crafts available for children.
Also, in terms of creche, due to reduced helper numbers, there will be a space in church during August, with baby toys near the stained-glass window for parents to feel free to use. In addition, the crèche room will be available for parents who might prefer a quiet space. During August, we would ask that crèche and BRBK children are kept under parental supervision whilst in church.
The services will have a children’s story near the beginning, and services could include a sermon, and we have external speakers coming to help on some of the Sundays.
BRBK and crèche will resume full service on Sunday 7th September 2025.

Baptist Family Picnic - Sunday 31 August
On Sunday 31 August you are invited to join with our friends from Trafalgar Road Baptist Church and Life Community Baptist Church for an informal "Baptist Family Picnic” in the Horsham Park. Please bring your own picnic and something to sit on and join us on the grass between the pond and North Parade Car Park. Jon White from TRBC will be bringing a football for anyone who’s up for an inter-church football match but please be assured this will primarily be a relaxed time of fellowship together as the Baptist family in Horsham.
We will aim to meet together at 12:30pm. We look forward to seeing you there.
Coffee, Cake & Company
We are starting to meet again on Monday 1st September and we are looking forward to welcoming you all back. Blessing from Jill, Mary & Jackie.
