PRAYING FOR MY BELOVED CRC MEMBERS & CALVIN COLLEGE et al to NOT ACQUIESCE TO FAR-LEFT LIBERALISM TO TRY TO BE ‘COOL’:

JESUS SAID: “I pray not that thou should take them out of the world, but that thou should keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.

And for their sakes ..."

6/19/14 CRC CELEBRATES 1st  AFRICAN-AMERICAN (& female)  PRESIDENT of BOARD of TRUSTEES, (its nice to have a diversity of skin colors & ethnicities on the board,but is the church supposed to "evolve" like the world? What's next? The first homosexual on the board? The first transgender? The CRC started as a Dutch-American denomination,not as a "white" denomination. It was for persons with "funny Dutch names" who still get marginalized in the working world today (except,perhaps,around Grand Rapids & other largely Dutch-American communities). And as much as the CRC claims to be a worldwide congregation,or at least largely northAmerican,it still seems to be a "regional" denomination,midwest in style & tone. I grew up in GR but after my family moved to California,some in the "midwest CRC" marginalized me as "from California" (along with the out-dated stale California jokes). If CRC really wants to be respected as a national congregation or larger,it needs parts of the denomination headquarters to be located on both coasts as well. Otherwise it will retain its "midwest bias" forever,at the expense of a lot of good people.search:, sheila holmes,crc,christian reformed church,board of trustees,crcna,;*read more at

"..For Rev. Sheila Holmes, it has been a long journey from
first arriving in a Christian Reformed Church chapel at
age 11 to becoming the first woman and first African-
American to be president of the CRC's Board of Trustees.
In an address to Synod 2014, Holmes exhorted delegates
to continue the church's journey toward becoming a
more diverse and active body of Christ..."

WELCOME !

I ORIGINALLY had a website devoted to  "MY CRC" on posterous which was bought out by Twitter and which, without warning or cause, deleted many of my various websites despite alleging that they would continue to maintain all websites as-is after the buyout. Shame on posterous/twitter (and now they are closing down altogether at the end of April 2013). Whatever I had on the posterous site is forever lost unless I posted by email, which, unfortunately, I did not do much of, apart from what you see below. Thus, I am attempting to start-up again, all previous time & labor is lost and must be duplicated, thanks to Twitter/posterous and maybe others.

The Christian Reformed Church (CRC or CRCNA) in North America is a small originally Dutch and Dutch-American denomination, now multi-ethnic but still largely of Dutch ancestory. I grew up in the CRC. My dad was/is an ordained CRC pastor. My late grandfather was also an ordained CRC pastor.

There's an upcoming CRC gathering in southern California in April 2013 which I may attend. I will post periodically here re "my CRC" (& yours too if you are part of the "family" of believers). Some of the CRC's more "near and dear" to my heart include 1st CRC in Grand Rapids (MI) (GR is the corporate headquarters for the CRC) where our family attended thru the 70's and mid-80's when I was in elementary, middle, & most of high school.

Also Bethany CRC in Bellflower, CA is where our family attended when we first moved to Bellflower from GR in 1984 and where my grandfather attended after he retired.

Other CRC's I attended or visited periodically from time-to-time include Sherman Street CRC in Grand Rapids, also the CRC led by Pastor Jack Roeda in GR (can't think of its name at the moment) which started out at Seymour Christian Elementary school gym and later moved to a location near Calvin College.I've also attended a few of the other CRC's in Bellflower...and the list goes on...

In the early 90's I did disaster relief in Costa Rica after an earthquake there with the CRWRC (Christian Reformed World Relief Commission) and one year later did a summer mission in the Philippines with the CRWM (Christian Reformed World Missions).

I also attended Calvin Seminary (the seminary that serves the Christian Reformed Church) for a year (plus) and later transferred to Fuller Seminary. I LOVE MY CRC....always have & always will. May they...may we...continue to serve the Lord faithfully in Spirit & in Truth !
