Kirkin O the Tartan Service
2025-05-18 08:15 - 12:00 | Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, 302 Hibben St, Mount Pleasant, SC, 29464, United States
After the Battle of Culloden, 1746, the British forbade traditional Scottish heritage for nearly 50 years. During that time, the Scots would wear a piece of tartan cloth to be blessed by the clergy, in secret. In 1942, Rev. Peter Marshall began the Scottish American tradition to further bond the US and UK during WWII.
The Kirkin’ O’ the Tartan service represents “a blessing of the family.” This worship service allows us to reflect on the gift of our Presbyterian heritage and the gifts God has given us through our past, present and future kith and kin.
You are encouraged to wear your own tartan apparel – or kilt if you have one! The processional with the tartan flags & banners will take place during the 8:15 & 11 a.m. service.

2025-05-19 12:00 - 13:30 | Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, 302 Hibben St, Mount Pleasant, SC, 29464, United States
When you think of Charleston working lighthouses, you might be thinking of our own iconic Sullivan’s Island lighthouse, but there is far more to the story! National Park Ranger Shelby McAllister will share her expertise on the history of the various navigational lights that have existed over the centuries in our area — the many lighthouses, range lights and other beacons that have guided mariners in the Lowcountry. National Park Ranger Shelby McAllister is a native of Iowa. After finding that classroom teaching wasn’t for her, she joined the National Park Service and served at Harpers Ferry, Shiloh, and Lincoln’s Home in Springfield, Illinois, before coming to Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park in Charleston. Join us for this interesting program on Monday, May 19 at 12 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall, bring a friend and covered dish, meat will be provided.

What and who is helping you grow closer to God and learn more about Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior? How is your relationship with Jesus deepening and growing? After answering these questions, GO and TELL someone your story!
Go and tell your friends and neighbors how God is at work in and through the people and the ministries at Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church- and invite them to come worship and fellowship with us on Rally Day!
Rally Day is September 7
• 10am Worship in the sanctuary. Faith formation teachers, leaders and volunteers will be commissioned during this worship service as well.
