YOUTH
MINISTRY OF THE WORD
This
Youth Ministry aims to encourage our young people
who attend Farm Street
Church
the opportunity to learn
more about their faith, experience catholic social
teaching, share common interests and to get more
involved in the life of the parish, which would
involve organising activities, events, volunteering,
and much more. If you are 14 years of age and over,
and interested, please contact Patsy Cummings pcummings@rcdow.org.uk
.
DISABILITY
ACCESS
Construction
of disabled access through the bookshop area (former
“Agony Chapel”) resumes on Wednesday. During this
time there will be limited bookshop facilities in
the church and we thank Maeve and Margaret for keeping
things going. During the period when work will be
going on, there will be some unavoidable disturbance.
We thank you for your patience.
CHILDREN'S
LITURGY OF THE WORD
The
children's Liturgy of the Word has been extended
to children of 4 years of age and at primary school.
There are so many children and parents who have
requested for this liturgy to be available to slightly
younger children, and we so this will commence this
Sunday.
PARISH
REGISTRATION
As you know, Farm
Street
is a city-centre church at the service of the wider
Catholic community and our “parishioners” come from
all over London
and
well beyond. If you are a regular worshipper here
and have never filled in a registration form, please
do so. This is for our records only, however Fr
William and other clergy will be getting into contact
with those of you who have expressed an interest
in specific parish activities or have mentioned
special skills. We hope to maximise the potential
of every person in the service of the Lord. Forms
are available at all church doors. Our annual headcount
will take place during the month of October at all
Sunday Masses.
CAFOD
The
Catholic Agency for Overseas Development CAFOD will
be collecting your donations for the Harvest Day
Appeal this weekend under the guidance of Dr Andrea
Kelly. Money this year is being directed to the
people who are suffering most from the financial
crisis. The need is enormous, and CAFOD's funds
are stretched to the limit (and worth less than
they were a year ago) so please be generous to those
who live in daily poverty. Envelopes are still available
at the church doors. Don't forget to fill in the
gift aid details if you are a UK
taxpayer.

THE
COMPASSIONATE SAVIOUR: PRAYING THE GOSPEL OF LUKE
Presented
by Lynne Galloway
Four
Mondays: October 19th & 26th , November 2nd
& 9th - 7-8.30 pm
An
opportunity for a small group to be guided in prayer
through selected passages from Luke using both Lectio
Divina – “divine reading”- to listen, ponder
and pray the word of God, and Imaginative Contemplation
- finding yourself within the gospel scene.
Both are ancient methods of prayer which bring scripture
to life and link scripture with our daily lives.
Each evening we will take a story from St. Luke's
gospel, and enter into the story in
a way that will help us discover what this Word
of God is saying to each of us as individuals in
our own unique lives.
