Recent Events
A Successful Festa
All Souls had a strong presence at this year's Festa. Hundreds of people enjoyed free hospitality in our cafe, expertly made espresso coffee, face painting and balloons. Around 100 people also visited our church, enjoying some peace, quiet reflection and it's fascinating history. Our minister ran a 'Organic Gardening' stall which we hope inspires people to grow their own herbs and veggies in the interests of health and sustainability.

Cathedral Singers at All Souls - 2 Nov, 6.30pm

The renowned Cathedral Singers accompanied us in a Choral Eucharist on 2 November at 6.30pm. The service included a wide range of music, including a 'Mass' setting by Jackson and Justorum Animae by Stanford.

All Souls Voted Number 1 Church in the Inner West!!!
The Inner-West's alternative media newspaper, "The Hub" recently featured a "Best of" edition. It included everything from the best pizza to the best hairdresser. And, it included the "best Church". Which was us!!!

Of course, the editor hasn't attended a service, but she liked our signs, approach to the community, fair trade ministry and apology to the stolen generation.

I'm sure that there are many churches that are bigger and better, but the recognition was nice!

Farewell to Byron and Jess
It was with mixed feelings that we said good bye to Byron (our Ministry Assistant) and his wife Jess on July 26.

Byron is beginning a PhD at Edinburgh University under Oliver O'Donovan. We thank God for Byron's ministry, his recover from cancer, and this wonderful opportunity to study. Byron and Jess have made a big impact on us all and we will certainly miss them.
