Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Christmas will look a lot different this year for many people, so Crossroads Church is bringing some hope, joy, and good news through a Christmas Special starring Grammy Award-winning artists Lecrae and Amy Grant.<\/p>\n

The special features original performances from both stars along with Christmas classics and new tracks from Crossroads Music paired with dynamic on-location teaching in the desert from Senior Pastor Brian Tome. A special performance from Broadway dancers will also bring a piece of the Christmas story to life.<\/p>\n

\u201cChristmas is supposed to be a fun and happy time, but instead we\u2019re jammed inside and thrown off our traditions. Some of us have spiritual traditions that we want to do that we can\u2019t do,\u201d Crossroads Senior Pastor Brian Tome said. \u201cWe thought, \u2018We\u2019ve got to do something to get people together and get them in the spirit of Christmas,\u2019 so we did this special with some folks that I think highly of, Lecrae and Amy Grant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The special is available to stream anytime during the Christmas season at crossroads.net\/christmas-special<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are hungering and thirsting for something. They just want to feel connected. This is one of the times of year where there are already a lot of different things people are trying to navigate through and this has just compounded, so what a unique opportunity to give them a piece of joy, a piece of hope. For me, that was exactly why I wanted to be a part of this,\u201d Lecrae said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love how music brings us together and reminds us of good times and gives us strength for tough times,\u201d Amy Grant said. \u201cThere have been so few things we could count on this year and I feel like as the holidays approach there\u2019s something that even if you\u2019re just going through the motions you remember a time when your family used to gather, and to me that nostalgia is like saying, \u2018Come on back, come on back, let your mind find something good.\u2019 And to me music is the best way to invite somebody to find something good.\u201d<\/p>\n
