Our brothers and sisters in Western North Carolina who are rebuilding from the devastation of Hurricane Helene need our help. As a result, our elders invite us as a congregation to give a Special Mission Offering above and beyond our regular gifts to Blacknall. This offering will support the relief efforts of three churches in the region with whom we have deep relationships:
Arbor Dale Presbyterian Church in Banner Elk, NC; Pastor Tee Gatewood. Tee was our Men’s Retreat speaker in 2022 and has been connected to Blacknall for many years.
First Presbyterian Church of Sylva, NC; Pastor Blake Daniel. Blake and his wife, Erin, were Blacknall members while Blake attended Duke Divinity School and Erin was our Communications Associate.
Reems Creek-Beech Presbyterian Church in Weaverville, NC; Pastor Rebecca Gurney. Rebecca and her husband, Evan, were Blacknall members during college and graduate school. Rebecca participated in Goodie’s installation service earlier this month.
Our gifts will go directly to help these churches and organizations to care for their members, neighbors, and mission partners in their communities such as Black Mountain Home.
How can you give? You may give your offering from this dedicated webpage or at both worship services this Sunday. Please designate WNC Offering if you give by check. This special offering will be collected until this Sunday, November 24.
