Second Presbyterian Church

Living History

The Wooden Cross



The Hugo Cross – in the entry of the fellowship – hall is a rough wooden cross that was found amongst debris following hurricane Hugo.

The wooden cross mounted on the wall of the narthex was made from materials salvaged during the restoration of the sanctuary following Hurricane Hugo. It was a gift of the men who worked here. The current members of the congregation are aware that this beautiful sanctuary is a gift of God and a testament to the dedication and perseverance of generations of Presbyterians.

As the sanctuary has survived hurricanes and an earthquake, so the congregation has endured, ready to work and worship into the new millennium and confident that God’s kingdom will be triumphant.
