Your March magazine is here
The March parish magazine is here filled with plenty of news about the parish, including the Lent groups, the Seekers service, an encouragement to ‘Pray for 5’, the Literary Festival, groups and events, and the new Badshot Leader. The Badshot Leader was first produced 46 years ago and has been relaunched by the Badshot Lea Community Association in conjunction with the parish. It will appear in the magazine every two months and it can also be received directly from the Association – see page 19 of the magazine.
There are lots of advertisers too – please use them and tell them that you saw them in the magazine.
Enjoy!

Easter Craft Market
We’ll be holding our Easter Craft Market on Saturday, March 18th, at St Mark’s Church, Alma Lane, from 10am-2pm.
You can expect a buzzing market with lots of lovely stalls – from clocks to socks, cuddlies to cards, jewels, hats, jumpers, felting, soaps…. – along with refreshments, live music and an Easter Egg hunt!
If you are a crafter who wants to sell your work, please get in touch as we have a few spaces left. Tables are just £12.50 each. You can find out more here or email craft@badshotleaandhale.org or call us on 07842761919.
Interfaith Women’s Group – March meeting
After a highly successful first meeting, the next Interfaith Women’s Group will take place at St Mark’s Church on Saturday, March 25th, 2.30-4pm. This time the group will be talking boundaries – how we set them, why they are important, whether societal expectations give women more of a challenge in setting them than men face. There will also be opportunities to talk about faith journeys.
This is a joint venture between the parish and Lajna Ima’illah, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Women’s Association and takes place on the fourth Saturday of each month at St Mark’s.
The group discusses topics that most concern us today, such as social media, gender-based violence, inclusion, education, equality, bringing up children and many more. There is also plenty of tea and cake!
Women of all faiths and none are welcome.

Lent 2023 – The Chosen
This year Lent Groups will be following a course based around the drama series The Chosen, the story of four Biblical characters and the impact Jesus had on them.
We will be watching six episodes over the course of Lent and discussing these, following guided notes. There will be a number of groups across the parish, on a Tuesday evening and a Thursday afternoon, plus an online one on Wednesdays evening.
We are hoping to run one more subject to their being a host available. If you are interested in any of the groups or want to know more, please contact Stella – revd.stella@badshotleaandhale.org. If you would like to host a Lent group please also let Stella know.
Pancakes & temptations!
Join us for a service of Pancakes and Temptations at St George’s, Badshot Lea, at 10am, or at St Mark’s at 11am on Sunday, February 19th, with freshly cooked pancakes to tempt us all!
We will also be looking forward to Lent and thinking about what might draw us away from God.
