Hand In Hand Foundation is seeking Christian families who are interested in adoption. Hand in Hand is a local Christian Adoption Agency that places young children in permanent families. The children range in age from birth up to about 8 or 9. The foundation is seeking loving families that can provide nurturing homes where these wonderful children will bring great joy to you as well as provide a family for a waiting child. If you are interested please call Fred Barnes at 831.476.1866.
WHAT'S YOUR PERSPECTIVE?
Our hope is that ChristianCruz will become a participatory news service for the Christian community in our region of the world so that notices of events, for example, can be followed up with reports of how the Lord accomplished His purposes at those events. As believers learn of events through ChristianCruz, they can attend those events and then return to this website to report on the Lord’s work. Comments allow you to report such follow-up news right here on ChristianCruz.com. If you have any questions about how to use these features, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Please note: to prevent inappropriate messages (often called "comment spam"), comments will not appear on the site until they have been approved by our staff. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Our Philosophy
We are convinced that a public demonstration of the unity of the Christian church across denominational and individual church lines is the foundation of all effective outreach.
Believing that ChristianCruz.com can play a small part in facilitating that unity, we highlight events and news which we believe will be of interest to the larger Christian community in Santa Cruz County.
We do not provide these events and news items to encourage "church-shopping" in any way. Instead, we believe that providing this information will encourage you to pray for other churches and believers in our area. As we identify with each other in prayer, we believe that the Lord will continue to build community among us and that such community will serve as a foundation for us to reach out to those around us who do not yet know Christ.
