Maundy Thursday
2025-04-17 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, 302 Hibben St, Mount Pleasant, SC, 29464, United States
Maundy Thursday Worship, 7:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary
The word “maundy” is an old English derivative of the Latin word “mandantum,” which means “commandment.” It is used to identify this day because it was on Thursday evening, at the Passover meal which we have come to know as “The Last Supper,” that Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another…This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you” (John 13:34-35, 15:12-14). We will gather in worship around word and sacrament, remembering this new commandment and considering its call to us today. The service will end in silence with the stripping of the chancel, a practice dating from the seventh century and originally serving the practical purpose of cleaning the sanctuary in preparation for Easter, when all things are made new.

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.

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.
