Orewa Community Christmas Lunch
With other local churches and businesses we contribute to this free lunch in Orewa on Christmas Day for those who would be alone on Christmas Day or unable to provide a celebratory meal. |
National
The Hope Project: It's 200 years since Marsden first preached the Gospel in NZ. The Hope Project aims to tell people something of this wonderful history and what the good news is.

Since his recent death, the local team are still supplying care as per his vision.
