Interfaith Women’s Group – March meeting

Leave a comment

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.

To find out more, contact Stella Wiseman.

Lent

Lent 2023 – The Chosen

2 Comments

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.

It’s February, the month of Valentine’s love, pancakes and the first signs of Spring. It’s also a month when lots starts happening in the parish – well, does it ever stop? But here we are coming into Lent, with Lent courses which this year focus on the TV series The Chosen, a Questioning Faith course which will lead to confirmation in the Cathedral on Easter Eve, Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday, with services of ashing, and our Pancakes and Temptations service. Then there is a barn dance on February 25th, and an invitation to enter the Farnham Poetry Competition – this year the theme is hope.

Take a look inside the magazine for more details where you will also find a response to the bishops’ proposals on equal marriage, the Church Cat, prayer, thoughts on faith, events and reports from local groups.
