When all the crosses have been removed, we proceed back into the church and lay the crosses at the foot of the altar. Family members of the deceased who have received crosses may keep them as a remembrance of their loved one.

The Gift – A Family Christmas, Sunday, December 13, 2020

“If Christmas weren’t eventful enough, try rekindling a family bond over the loss of the matriarch in the family. Skeletons fall out of the closet and tempers are tested as Christmas turns into a not so joyful holiday.

“The Gift” is a stage play written and produced by multifaceted creative Chris Cobbs. The Play is based in the Bay Area and has been running for 7 years, now as it has become a highly anticipated work of art that Californians must see. This culturally influenced comedy, shares the woes of a black family as they try to pick up the shattered pieces of their family.

Jane Handcock, singer and songwriter most notably known for writing the theme song to Keke Palmer’s hit show “True Jackson VP”, is one of the main characters along with Atlantic signed superstar Netta Brielle and singer/songwriter Dayanna Redic.
