KIRKIN’ O’ THE TARTANS
Every year on Reformation Sunday, we celebrate our Presbyterian heritage. In this service, we focus on what mattered most to our Scottish forebears: not ethnicity, but the gospel of Jesus Christ. From Scotland, we have inherited a passion for Jesus Christ as he is known to us in the Scriptures. Whatever our ethnicity, let’s celebrate the Scottish roots of our Presbyterian faith by wearing plaids, kilts and tweeds at our one 10 am Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans service on October 25. A congregational meeting will take place during the service for the purpose of electing next year’s elders and deacons.
CALLING ALL CLANS!
Our Kirkin’ O’ the Tartans clan list is updated each year. If you’d like your Scottish clan called, please communicate its name by dropping a note in the offering plate, calling the church, or emailing Jaci Gaspard by October 19. Don’t have a Scottish clan? Bring a small token emblematic of your heritage: a fabric swatch, a pin, a postcard. We will dedicate these tokens along with the tartans.
CONGREGATIONAL MEETING TO ELECT OFFICERS
The session has called for a meeting of the congregation during the 10 am Kirkin’ O the Tartans service Sunday, October 25. The sole purpose of the meeting is the election of elders and deacons for the class of 2029. The congregational nominating committee, after receiving and prayerfully evaluating suggestions from the congregation during the summer, will nominate for elder:
Elders — Class of 2029: Pat Canfield, Brett Furr, Ross Henry, Ron Hicks, Ben Hunter, Scott Kirkpatrick, Hank Mills, Hans Othmer, Donna Saurage, and Richard Setliff.
