10th Anniversary Mass & Celebration

 

This week marks 10 years since Soul Food started as a prayer group back in June 2003 and we can think of no better way to celebrate this anniversary than with Mass.  We are grateful to have Fr. Stephen Wang, a good friend of Soul Food over the years, to celebrate this mass with us.

 

We are also looking forward to having many past Soul Fooders present with us for what promises to be a memorable night of praise and worship, celebration and thanksgiving. Let us gather together and give thanks to God for all that He has done through the group over the past 10 years and will do in the future.

 

Of course it wouldn’t be a Soul Food celebration without a party afterwards! So we will be having a gathering at the nearby Fitzrovia Hotel on Bolsover Street straight after the Mass.

 

Regardless of how many times you have been to Soul Food, you are all welcome to join us for this special occasion, along with your family and friends.

 


Obedience

Obedience is an 8 lesson course devised by Catholic Christian Outreach that we will be following from June 27th through to August 8th. Obedience takes the call of being a faithful Catholic seriously. Challenging topics such as speech and chastity are covered, as well as obedience within the Church. Everyone is welcome to attend all or part of this course, no registration or fees required.

 

Lesson 1 – Obedience 

Obedience is important to God and a blessing for us.

 

Lesson 2 – Obedience and the Fear of What Others Might Think

The Holy Spirit empowers us with courage when we are afraid of others’ opinions of our obedience to God.

 

Lesson 3 – Obedience and the Fear of Difficult Circumstances

We can follow God, even in the midst of difficulties, because he is trustworthy.

 

Lesson 4 – Obedience and Speech 

The way we speak affects our relationship with God and others.

 

Lesson 5 – Obedience and Chastity 

God calls us to purity of mind and body, especially in today’s society.

  

Lesson 6 – Obedience and the Church 

Peter and his successors lead and safeguard the Church in order to provide us a sure compass in faith and morals.

 

Lesson 7 – Obedience and Vocation 

Priesthood, religious life, marriage and single life each offer unique paths to growth in holiness and mission.

  

Lesson 8 – Obedience and the Mission 

We are urgently called to participate in the Church’s mission of evangelization.
