Congratulations Cornerstone Christian Church!

01.04.2010

The winner of our "Get a Room" drawing for Orange registrations purchased during the month of December is Kerri Niebles! She is the director of children's ministries at Cornerstone Christian Church in Wyckoff, New Jersey.

Kerri's group will be getting one of their hotel rooms paid for during their trip to Atlanta to attend Orange. We are thrilled to be able to help them get here by covering some of the expense of their trip.

Be on the lookout for more great giveaways!
