Dear Members and Friends of the Crossnore Presbyterian Church Family,

It has been a week since Hurricane Helene barreled through the WNC mountains leaving devastation in its wake. I will be sending out more information about the hurricane, its aftermath, and the recovery and cleanup efforts underway in the next couple of days but I want you to know that I have heard from most of our church family members who were in the mountains during the hurricane and everyone is safe.  Some homes have trees down and damage that is repairable, but we are so fortunate and are now able to assist those who are still struggling to meet basic needs- food, water, medicine, housing, etc. 
 
For those who are still in the mountains, we will be having worship this Sunday in the church fellowship hall at 11 a.m. It is time to gather together, support one another, hear the good news, offer our prayers, and share the ways we can support our community in recovery and rebuilding.  I also want to announce that the Session has started a Hurricane Relief Fund to provide funds directly to those in desperate need through the county nonprofits we have worked with so closely.  Please prayerfully consider making a donation.
 
Be sure to see a green button on the right side that says GIVE NOW.  When you press that button, you will see categories listed.  All the donations under Special Missions and General Missions will go to hurricane relief and recovery. 
 
If you would rather send a check, make it out to Crossnore Presbyterian Church, designate it for hurricane relief and mail it to: Crossnore Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 386, Crossnore, NC 28616.  We promise that your donations will be used to help those in dire need through our trusted local nonprofits. 
 
Please keep our mountain community and all who are suffering from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in your prayers as we move forward with God's help through everyone who is willing to give time, money, and resources.  We are so blessed!
 
In the fellowship of Christ,
 
Pastor Kathy

“Growing Deeper in Faith, Reaching Out in Love” - Mission Statement of Crossnore Presbyterian Church

Please join us for worship every Sunday morning at 11 a.m. in our historic rock sanctuary. We are a very warm and welcoming congregation and delight with each new person who comes through the door. There are no strangers here. We praise God with a mixture of traditional and contemporary hymns and songs. The service is fresh, relevant, and engaging, and leaves one with an inspiring message and mission to take into the week. Coffee Hour in the fellowship hall after worship provides an opportunity for newcomers to get to know some of the members of the church family. For more information, please contact the church office, at 828-733-1939.

If there is inclement weather, we will post the cancellation of in-person worship on the website, Facebook, and the church office phone message. When we are not able to meet in person, Pastor Kathy records her sermon on Zoom and sends it out along with the bulletin and music links.

Praising God Through Worship

Our historic rock sanctuary sets the scene for traditional worship. We are a very warm and welcoming congregation and delight with each new person who comes through the door. There are no strangers here. We praise God with a mixture of traditional and contemporary hymns and songs. The service is fresh, relevant, and engaging, and leaves one with an inspiring message and mission to take into the week. Coffee Fellowship in the fellowship hall after worship provides an opportunity for newcomers to get to know some of the members of the church family. Pastor Kathy invites people to join her for lunch from time to time.

You can enter the sanctuary from the front or the back. The front steps of the church, which are handicap accessible, lead to the front door of the sanctuary. If you would like to come up the back steps, you can walk in the back entrance where the church office is located and take the steps leading up to the back of the sanctuary. There are restrooms in the basement of the church and in the fellowship hall.
