Helping the Foodbank
Farnham Foodbank is still busy and is distributing food direct to clients, thanks to furloughed drivers from a local engineering firm. If you need help, see details below.
Donations are also needed, both food and money, and you can drop donations off at Church House (the Vineyard Centre), Union Road, Farnham (opposite Gostrey Meadow) between 10am and noon on Thursdays.
Particularly needed at the moment tinned tomatoes, tinned potatoes, individual sponge puddings, sachets of powdered desserts (like Angel Delight), instant mash, tinned rice puddings, laundry detergent tablets, tinned meat (ham, spam, corned beef etc.), and they would love sun cream.
If you need help and have a paper voucher, take a photo of the paper voucher and text it to the Foodbank on 079015 81539 or email it to info@farnham.foodbank.org.uk
They will deliver a food supply to your doorstep.
If you don’t yet have a voucher, contact a Referral Agency who will discuss your situation and supply you with a Foodbank voucher, or contact the Foodbank with the details directly.

Joining After-Church Coffee on a Mobile Phone or Tablet
You may be aware that we have been videoconferencing after church coffee. If you have a smart phone and would like to join us, here are the instructions.

In the bar at the top type Microsoft Teams
Click on Microsoft Teams in the list.
Your screen should say install (mine says open because it is already installed). Click on that.
When the time to join comes, click on the link in the Weekly Notices, or the invitation that has been emailed to you.

Easter Sunday
Alleluia, Christ is Risen. He is risen indeed, Alleluia!
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

Good Friday – Time at the Cross
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. It includes pre-recorded clips of rehearsals from their Passion Play 2020, clips and interviews from the other cities and towns taking part in the One Good Friday 2020 project.
The Bible Society have posted this video:

Starting a Course
Whilst some of us are busy working, looking after children and struggling to get by, others may be climbing the walls with too little to do.
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.
There are numerous courses becoming available:
https://www.uspg.org.uk/resources/study/
Greenbelt have recordings of many of their talks over the years: https://www.greenbelt.org.uk/talks-archive/. We could listen to one of these and the meet virtually to discuss what we have heard.
Some of these courses are free: https://ntwrightonline.org/courses/.
I may add further courses as they become available!

Jesus of Nazareth
This is six hours long, but with YouTube you can remember where you stopped and then go forwards to that point.

BBC’s The Passion
First broadcast a few years ago, it is in two parts, both around one hour 15 minutes.

Here are someone else’s ideas for Holy Week: https://www.pickingapplesofgold.com/holy-week-reflections-resource
Also, you might like to do something creative; I would like to put up a collection of other material from yourselves. I have already received a poem and some photos of nature. If you would like to write something, make something, photograph or video something you have made and send it to me please do. Instructions on how to get it to me can be found here: https://badshotleaandhale.org/2020/03/29/future-services/
Launde Abbey are offering a free online Holy Week Retreat. Details here: https://laundeabbey.org.uk/laundeathome/holy-week-2020/
Graham Everness from St Paul’s, Dorking, has put together the following material for Holy Week: Mark These Words 1-8.
There is also a challenge for Holy Week below; a simple framework which should take you just seven minutes in each of these seven days. It comes from the Diocese of Guildford’s Lent course and you can find details of the Gospel readings and the challenges for each day. Click here.
- Light a candle and, next to it, place the object suggested as a symbol of your own journey to the cross. Many of us continue to light a candle in our windows at 7pm. You might do it at the same time – or 7am if that suits you better!
- Read the relevant text from Matthew’s Gospel.
- Be still. In Psalm 4, the psalmist prayed ‘stand in awe and sin not: commune with your own heart within your chamber and be still’.
- Be challenged. There is a little practical challenge each day.
