Memorial Service
Sunday November 1st
A peaceful time of reflection and music to remember your loved ones.
As the year draws to an end, Purewa invites families to join us at All Saints Chapel at 4pm.
It’s an opportunity to gather without the stress of a funeral,a time to simply remember or to grieve,
to light a candle in remembrance, and to sit quietly with our experience over the past year.
All are welcome
