Faith Formation Minister Andy Korvemaker With a cross smudged on their foreheads, they go out, sensing that Youth Minister this defined six-week block called Lent is a real chance to change Amanda McQuaid course and renew their lives. Many of them return each Sunday to hear ancient stories and try to live into the good intentions Financial Secretary symbolized by the ashes.

    1 2 THE MAGAZINE OF MARLBOROUGH'S COMMUNITY AND CHURCHES NUMBER 657 MARCH 2016 Windows, War and Wishes Apologies for the fact that this month's edition is a bit more of a hotch-potch than usual, but as they say "variety is the spice of life"! We start with an article about a tragic story commemorated in stained glass in one of the windows in St Mary's church, a place I have worshipped in for the past nineteen years but have never stopped to look. I suspect that this may well be true for many of us, and I hope in future months to make similar occasional contributions about items of interest in our churches which we perhaps take for granted - and would welcome such contributions from any of our far more knowledgeable readers. Secondly, we have a fine collection of photographs from the Marlborough History Society telling something of the story of our town one hundred years ago. These photos have already been exhibited twice in the past eighteen months, but I wanted them to have as wide an exposure as possible because I think they are so interesting. And finally, a Bucket List of must-do-before-I-die things from ten different people to whom I am most grateful for being prepared to reveal in public their deepest desires. The hope is that it will not only be of interest to our readers in perhaps opening your eyes to something that you hadn't thought of for yourself, but also that it might prompt further contributions from our readership of items from your own list which you might be prepared to share with others - the more obscure the better! David Du Croz - Editor Cover picture: Memorial window, St Mary’s Church, Marlborough 1 Compiler: Peter Noble Proof readers: Mike Jackson & Julia Peel Clergy Letter from The Reverend Dr David Campbell Life in all its fullness It’s a very wonderful thing that each and every year we are fortunate enough to be alive as the natural world as we see it in our fields, gardens and parks renews itself.

From Rev. Ian Howarth Dear Friends, On 8th February Barbara and I set off to visit our friend Rev. Jeyapaul in South India for two weeks. Jeyapaul has been a regular visitor to us over the last 20 years, and it has been a joy to hear of his developing community work with disadvantaged children and older women. It is 27 years since we first met him and since we last went to India, so it will be fascinating to see how much things have changed there since 1985.
