Christmas Eve

You and your loved ones are invited to share in a very special Christmas Eve at Crossnore Presbyterian Church at 5:30 p.m. As you enter the sanctuary, the 12-foot lighted Chrismon Tree, the porcelain Nativity gracing the Communion Table, and a multitude of red poinsettias will invite you into a sacred evening of traditional Christmas carols, ancient scripture readings, stories, and prayers as we celebrate the Christ Child who was born over 2,000 years ago and welcome the Christ born anew into our lives this Christmas. Special music throughout the service will enrich our joyful praise. Our worship will close with the traditional lighting of the candles as we join together in “Silent Night.” Every dollar of our Christmas Eve Offering will go to Volunteer Avery, a local crisis ministry. We look forward to having you share in worship with us.

Bible study

Join us for Weekly Bible Study on Wednesdays, 3-4:30 p.m. We are studying the Gospel of Mark. Come and grow in faith with an open group that loves to learn, listen, discuss, and share with one another. There is always room for one more seat at the table.

Basket Mission

The November Thanksgiving Basket Mission Project a huge success! We received around $2,500 which made it possible to give eighteen individuals/families a $100 grocery card, lotion, peanuts, socks, and a hand knitted winter hat or scarf. Members of the congregation hand delivered the baskets to each home. Fourteen baskets were given to people in need assigned to us by Volunteer Avery, a local crisis ministry and one of our mission partners. Four baskets went to church members who are also struggling. The visits were as much a gift as the baskets. The funds that were not spent will be used to provide grocery cards for others who may find themselves in need during this winter. Thanks to all who cared and shared!

Church potlucks

Christmas Potluck will be held after our 45th Advent Sunday Worship Service on Sunday, December 16. Ham will be provided. Bring a side dish if you are able.

Knitting Group

A Note from the Crossnore Presbyterian Knitting Group: “We are so appreciative to those who donated in support of our knitting efforts and to all those who knitted. “We were able to donate 40 hats to school children in Avery County and 120 hats, baby bonnets and blankets to the Hospitality House, the homeless shelter in Boone. They were delighted with our donations! The knitting group will take a break through the Christmas holidays, but we will start knitting again in January with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Again, many thanks to everyone who helped and donated to our project!!” Thanks to Janis Kenyon for leading this wonderful group!

Florence relief

Thanks to all who donated to Hurricane Florence relief in October. We collected $880. The funds have been sent to Little Chapel on the Boardwalk, our sister congregation in Wrightsville Beach, NC. They are working directly with W.A.R.M. (Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministries) on homes that have been rejected by FEMA because the families or individuals do not meet all of the FEMA requirements. We are continuing to accept donations. If you would like to donate, make your check out to Crossnore Presbyterian Church and designate it for Hurricane Relief. Please keep members of our church family and all who continue to suffer from the aftermath of Hurricane Florence.
