Chapel Series - Te Rongopai, the Good News

Last week, we launched our revamped chapel format, mixing pre-recorded and live content. It was a special time to see each other, and John helped us focus our attention on the truly good news, te rongopai, in the midst of so much chaos and despair.

Join us on Zoom this Tuesday 15 March at 11.15am as George Wieland shares with us.
