Benevolence Angel Tree

Benevolence Angel Tree
We're asking everyone to please donate an angel ornament (unbreakable) to place on our Angel Tree in The Crossroad Center lobby through Epiphany Sunday.
What a wonderful way to greet all who enter The CRC,
with the good news of Jesus' birth!

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Luke 2:13-14
