Here are today’s services, with a few extras thrown in.
If you haven’t signed up for our E News, or Weekly Notices, please do so. Includes information about what is coming in the next week and the week after.
Two items I would like to draw your attention to. They were in last week’s service, but there has been little response, so if you are interested, please let me know. Thanks
Would anyone like to take part in a virtual house group after Easter? Or would anyone like to run a virtual house group after Easter? Please let me know if you are interested, and if so which days/times of day you could make, and which course(s) you are interested in. More information available here: https://wordpress.com/post/badshotleaandhale.org/11218
In this time when we cannot meet we can still pray for each other. We are contemplating drawing together a list of people to pray for for each day of the month. Not because we are ill or in need, but just because we exist! However, in discussing this we came across the issue of consent, so by way of this notice we are asking whether you would like to be on this list. If so, please let Alan know. Thanks revd.alan@badshotleaandhale.org
St John’s
St George’s
St Mark’s
St John’s were in the process of collecting for lilies, before the church was shut. Normally there would be lilies in church, and a notice saying who was being remembered. Easter Lilies 2020.
Livvy and June have recorded another Taize chant:
There are also some other things to look at here.
There are also some videos for children of all ages here:

Our thanks to those who have sent images and thoughts for this Easter weekend. Please keep them coming.
We would usually have an Easter Garden at the churches but as we can’t visit them at the moment, people have been creating them in their own gardens.. Here are ones by Sorrel, Maxine and Kris. We also have embroidery from Margaret Emberson, poetry from Richard Myers, photos from Wendy-Rae Mitchell, Kris Lawrence and Alison Ridgeon, a reminder of how much we love our churches in some art from St Mark’s, and of course Emily Tarrant’s poem which you can read here.
There’s also music every Sunday from Margaret Emberson which you can find here.












Outside the World, by Richard Myers
Here is the Hymn sheet: Good Friday Holy Saturday Hymns
Today’s service is apologetically focusing on the crucifixion, and contains some graphic descriptions. A warning is given, and you can scroll past these, or you can do something else instead – perhaps watch one some of the resources either below or here: https://wordpress.com/post/badshotleaandhale.org/11123.
Today’s service is in two parts. The second part is the video below the main service. At the end of the main service return here to watch the video. The two together should add up to an hour of material.
Wintershall will livestream through their Facebook page at 12 and 3pm. You do not have to be a Facebook member to see it, it is open to everyone.

Eleven-year-old Emily Tarrant has been thinking about Easter during this lockdown and has put her thoughts into a poem here.

The current lockdown has the potential to cause many of us mental health problems. If you can, try to talk to someone about it. The Samaritans are available 24 hours a day on 116 123. You can also visit www.samaritans.org/
The NHS has a helpful page here and there is also advice for those in need of urgent support here.
The Church of England has some useful resources here.
On the first three days of this Holy Week we will be having services of Compline with a short video and reflection. Today we look at Jesus Trial.
As these services use a clip from a longer piece, you cannot click through to YouTube for the film clip, as the clip doesn’t stop if you do!
