The mysterious word in the question is a corruption of the Hebrew "shalosh sudos",

which means "three meals".

Since the sabbath is supposed to include three meals, the Saturday afternoon activities

in many synagogues include a meal between the afternoon and evening services. The

meal is called either "shalosh sudos" ... three meals ... or "sudah shlishis" ... "third meal".

Shalosh Sudos as such is not a 'service'. It's just a meal.

A 'meal' consists of washing the hands with the blessing, eating bread with the

blessing, hearing words of Torah, and saying grace. A sabbath meal typically

adds a few songs around the table that deal with the spiritual aspects of the

Sabbath. Anything in addition to these is an embellishment of the basic meal.

When is a church service held in the synagogue?

Unless there is some specific agreement between the synagogue and the relevant Christian congregation (such as a synagogue allowing Christians to pray in the synagogue on Sundays while the Christians' church is in repair), church services do not take place in synagogues. If by "church services", you actually meant "religious services," Jewish services in synagogues are held three times per day; in the morning, afternoon and evening.
