Old Hall Demolition
The old hall has served our wider community extremely well, but now we have completed our new community space, it is no longer cost effective to maintain. When demolition is complete, the site will be provide us and our community users with some much needed additional parking and create a usable outdoor space for events.
The main structure is now down, but work continues to clear the site, so please take care in the surrounding area and take note of any restrictions in place.
Main entrance may be Sun 10 Aug. If this is the case, entry to the carpark will be from 5a Bassett Street. Please drive very slowly up & down the entrance way.
Upcoming Events
Sat 16 Aug, 8.45am - 5pm @ All Souls Church, Merivale
A significant opportunity to hear outstanding theologian, author, and priest, the Reverend Dr Sam Wells, is coming up. Sam offers a vision for a renewed sense of what it means to be the Church in mission, grounded in theology and practice. It will be a privilege to host Sam in our Diocese. I especially encourage all preachers, and Bible study group leaders to register for this event.

Overseas Cultural Exposure Trip 2026
We are exploring the possibility of doing a trip to Fiji next year hosted by Cassie and Takepe Kamunaga. This wouldn’t include staying in resorts! This would be for all ages. We would do group fundraising to lower financial pressure.
If this is something you might be interested in text Cassie on 0279149079.
