KPC Advent Pilgrimage 2024
Bound for Bethlehem
From the earliest days of Christianity, monasteries and churches have opened their doors to pilgrims. Through the centuries, pilgrimages have helped people to explore and deepen their faith. Kohimarama Presbyterian Church therefore extends a warm invitation to join us on a pilgrimage each Sunday of Advent.
