Last night, we had the joy of celebrating someone who has poured her heart into this community for over four decades: Belle Lown.
Belle served as the acting Director of Carthage Crosslines Ministry for 36 remarkable years.
But her dedication didn't stop there. For the past five years, she has continued to volunteer her time and wisdom to support our new director and ensure our mission keeps moving forward — without being asked, without fanfare, simply because she cares.
Belle will fully step into retirement when we move into our new building — a milestone she has more than earned. That new chapter for Crosslines will carry her fingerprints on every wall, even after she's gone.
We are so grateful for her 42 years of sacrifice, service, and love for this ministry and the people we serve together.
Here's to Belle. ?
Thank you for everything — from all of us at Carthage Crosslines.
