San Jose CRC Family Album | Here is a small part of God's eternal family, the people who gather and worship at San Jose CRC. Please check back often as we try to include all of us. We hope this helps us to know each other a little bit better. Do you attend SJCRC and would like to be included in our family album? Now and then we set aside time after church for our photographer to get caught up with new members. Please let us (church office: 408.266.4412) know if you'd like to be included. Welcome to the family! |
