The weekend started with a joint meeting in the plenary hall, with information about this half year. This part was also streamed so that leaders and key people in all local churches could watch, even if they were not physically present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday evening, the TV transmission of the Magazine was on the program. Those present at Brunstad participated in the hall, while members around the world watched the program via streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
