24.01.2022 It seems at this point in time right in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, that it will never end. A short video to show the commitment of me and my team to be there for you, right through all this time and beyond. https://youtu.be/ZZCYxuKgxqA

24.01.2022 Today we gratefully received this bounty of fresh veg from our Literacy Program students at Ashfield Public School.

23.01.2022 The Rev Bill Crews Foundation (Exodus Foundation) has been lucky enough to be nominated as one of the finalists for this year’s Community Building Partnerships grant! The application we submitted was a request for the construction of a large semi-permanent shade structure over the carpark, to be utilised by our #community and for the necessary additional coverage for our guests during wild weather. This will aid in our ability to serve our guests with enhanced safety dur...ing these unprecedented times (and hopefully, the events and celebrations that follow). Our Local Member, Jo Haylen is making recommendations on these finalists and as such, is requesting that we can demonstrate #community support for this structure in order to be successful. It would be greatly appreciated if you could vote for us at the below link (closing date September 11th). www.johaylen.com/cbp2020 Bill Crews

22.01.2022 Christmas Day is just around the corner. I have found it’s usually a special day for people of all religions and of none. After all the chaos and darkness of the past year I’ve been thinking about what to do to hopefully bring the spirit of Christmas into all our lives at this time.

18.01.2022 I’m sure you have all noticed that it’s the poorest, homeless and most vulnerable people in our society who can’t afford facemasks or protection.

06.01.2022 On this day in 1963, President John F Kennedy was assassinated. My heart and millions of others broke as it continued with later killings of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. The world of I have a Dreamlooks pretty nightmarish today. Let’s all pray it’s only a bad dream
