New Chapel for Ngawhatu
Representatives of many of the churches in and around Nelson joined friends and patients of Ngawhatu Hospital in the dedication of the new chapel at the hospital on Queen's Birthday weekend. The beautiful little church which was packed to overflowing for the service cost about $18,000 and was opened almost debt free.
