BECOME AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST AND BE A JOYFUL WITNESS FOR THE LORD JESUS AND HIS CHURCH In response to a growing interest in the Catholic faith, the Archdiocese of Southwark has launched Ambassadors for Christ, a landmark apologetics project. This video series is designed to equip you with a deeper understanding of your faith, so you can confidently answer questions and be a joyful witness for the Lord Jesus and his Church. THIS WEEKS YOUTUBE VIDEO: IS MARY THE MOTHER OF GOD? The Catholic Church professes that the Blessed Virgin Mary, who bore Jesus Christ in her womb, is the Mother of God - or as it is known in Greek: "Theotokos" - which means "God-bearer" or "Mother of God". But is this true? Is Mary really the Mother of God? Archbishop John Wilson guides us through Scripture, the Church Fathers and Church Teaching so we understand why it is so important to understand and believe that Mary is the Mother of God. As to deny Mary is the Mother of God is to deny that the Lord Jesus, our Saviour and redeemer, is himself God. The Worksheet for this Youtube video is on the back of this weeks Newsletter Clergy Support Fund Second Collection The clergy in our Archdiocese have given us so much. They have been there for us in our happiest moments and comforted us when we have lost loved ones. Supporting priests in their retirement is one way to show your appreciation for all they have done for parishes. You make supporting our clergy in retirement possible, find out how to donate  to the Clergy Support Fund at www.rcaos.org.uk/donate/CSF You can also donate via telephone office hours Mon-Fri 020 7960 2504 or by using the Clergy Support Fund envelopes available today at the back of Church. Please continue to keep our Priests in your prayers. WALK WITH ME - AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE . Walk with Me is a prayer and scripture journey for the season of Lent. Walk with Me is underpinned by the power and grace of the basic gospel message and an opportunity to proclaim the truths of our faith which gives life: the incarnation, the death and resurrection and the power of the Holy Spirit coming at Pentecost. The beauty about Walk with Me is the size of the booklet (it's an ideal fit for a pocket or handbag), in this Parish it is free and it is written in a simple and accessible style.
