“Growing Deeper in Faith, Reaching Out in Love”
Mission Statement of Crossnore Presbyterian Church
Worship information
As of May 16 we begam worshipping inside our sanctuary again, and we will sing! The CDC has issued new guidance that those who are vaccinated no longer need to wear masks or socially distance while indoors. Vaccinated people can also participate in group singing. You are welcome to continue wearing your mask if you are not yet comfortable removing it, or if you have not been vaccinated. We will also continue to broadcast the service into the parking lot for those who wish to listen from the car. The virtual service will continue to be sent via email every Sunday morning as well. We have much to celebrate and we hope you can join us either in our beautiful stone sanctuary, online, or from your car in the parking lot! There is light at the end of the tunnel!
If you wish to be added to the email list please send an email to cpcpcusa@gmail.com.
Due to the increase in COVID-19 cases in Avery County, we ask that you call the office and make an appointment if you need to come by. Office phone: 828-733-1939. The buildings will be locked even during office hours. When you arrive at church, please call us to let us know you are here. And of course, masks are required.
Lenten offering
Our congregation has raised enough funds in January and February to disburse over $5,000 to local non-profits as a part of our Lenten Mission Project. WAMY, Feeding Avery Families, Volunteer Avery County, and Women’s Fund of the Blue Ridge are recipients this time around. The funds will be used by these nonprofit mission partners to purchase hygiene and cleaning products which are not part of what they normally receive from the regional foodbank providers. These items have been a great need for a long time! Some of our funds are also going to help with emergency house repairs for a local elderly woman who wants to remain in her home. Thanks to all our donors!
Bible study group
New Zoom Bible Study will begin on April 7. Barbara Ross will be leading a four-week Bible study on “Women in the Bible.” The Bible Study will meet via Zoom at 3 p.m. on Wednesdays, April 7, 14, 21, and 28. What a great opportunity to learn about the women who played important roles in the life of the Jewish and early Christian communities and the lessons and inspiration they offer to our own faith journey. Barbara will send out the zoom link, scripture readings and a study guide for each week’s lesson. You can sign up by sending an email to Pastor Kathy.
