| Hurricane Relief Coats for the NC Mountains As temperatures drop in the hurricane-affected areas of Western North Carolina, there is a significant need for warm coats, sweatshirts, hoodies, and blankets. We have an immediate need for size 2XL and larger men and women’s coats and 2T-4T children’s coats. We will be collecting donations at the CRBA office through Oct. 31st. Your generosity will make a difference for those in need! Let’s Celebrate   This year’s Fall Worship Celebration (Walker Road) and Momentum (Burkemont) were great blessings again this year. There was great preaching and worship and several students in the Momentum gathering received Jesus as their Lord and Savior. In addition to that, 22 students stated that they were seeking God’s Will reguarding vocational ministry. Praise God for all He’s doing in and through the churches of the Catawba River Baptist Association. To God be the glory!!!!
