How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!
Special Offering for ANH Sunday
The CRC Office of Race Relations is dedicated to bringing more diversity into the future leadership of the denomination through the All Nations Heritage (ANH) scholarship fund. Applicants are students of various ethnic minorities and members of CRCNA congregations who plan to, or who are currently pursuing their educational goals at higher learning institutions affiliated with the CRCNA. Your donations will grow this fund and help this endeavor. And thanks to a substantial donation from an anonymous donor this year, any gift to Race Relations will be matched dollar-for-dollar (up to $50,000!) and applied to the ANH scholarship fund.
If your congregation has never taken an offering for All Nations Heritage Sunday, we hope that you might consider taking one this year to help us meet this $50k matching challenge. Thank You!
