Beverley Shore Bennett – Bequest
“It’s not me it’s God working through me”
We would like to acknowledge and thank Beverley Shore Bennett and her family for Beverly’s generosity to Karori Anglican Church. Beverley Shore Bennett died at Waikanae on September 3rd 2024 and was a portrait artist and ecclesiastical embroiderer. She was widely known in NZ as a stained glass window designer and left a generous bequest (money left via her will) to Karori Anglican Church. Please click on this LINK for information about Beverley’s life and art.
If you would like some information about how to include a bequest in your will, please get in touch with the office, or collect a brochure from the gathering area. Bequests make a substantial difference to the operations of the church, as well as enabling our ongoing discipleship and mission to our wider parish and beyond.
