June 5 - Kirking at P'ton Presby Church 11 a.m. -

PENDLETON PRESYERIAN CHURCH IS HAVING A KIRKING ON JUNE 5.  THE PUBLIC IS INVITED!

The word “kirking” means a “churching” or a blessing.” It comes from the Scottish Gaelic word “kirk,” which means church. The Kirking Ceremony dates to 1559 and the founding of Presbyterianism in Scotland.  The National Church of Scotland - the denomination’s mother church – celebrates an annual worship service when civic leaders, clan chieftains, various dignitaries, and church officers are blessed by the Kirk, or church, and re-dedicated to their positions of influence.   Religious and governmental leaders are blessed because, unlike in the United States, separation of church and state isn’t an issue in the British Isles.  Traditionally known as “Kirking of the Council,” the service begins with the ceremonial arrival of the clergy, the choir, honored guests and elected officials.  The word of God is read and preached. Hymns are sung.  Prayers are offered for those called to lead, and the Church blesses the society at large. The Reverend Dr. Peter Marshall, of Coatbridge, is the pastor most credited bringing the service to the U.S.  During World War II, he preached a sermon at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., called “Kirkin’ O’ The Tartan.”  From there, the service spread like wildfire across the nation, and today many Episcopal churches - a denomination rooted in England – also join in the beauty and pageantry of this Scottish celebration and re-dedication.

Mount Lebanon Elementary School's Entry in the Recipe for Healthy Kids Challenge

Mount Lebanon Elementary School in Pendleton, South Carolina is one of the 15 semi-finalist nationwide in the Recipes for Healthy Kids Challenge.  Their recipe is the Crunchy Hawaiian Chicken Wrap and I had the pleasure of tasting it yesterday.  It is delicious. Of course, it did help that I was eating it in the beautiful Mount Lebanon Elementary School surrounded by the official Judges, dignitaries from our State Department of Education, Pendleton's honorable Mayor, and officials from the Anderson County School District 4 office.  It was a sight to see and I felt honored to have been there to witness this special occasion of when the judges visited Mount Lebanon.

STEP UP TO THE PLATE GOLF CHALLENGE FOR VETERANS PARK IN PENDLETON SC

Golf Challenges Raises Money for Veterans Park in Pendleton SC

Pendleton Recreation Association, a 501c3 Non Profit organization, is organizing a Golf Challenge to raise money for our Veterans Park Ball Fields and a Veterans Memorial.  They have contracted with the company, Golf, for Goodness Sake! to run this event.  

It is not about the Golf, though.  It is about golfers and "caddies" telling the story of Veterans Park and celebrating at the end of their fundraising endeavor by playing in a fun golf challenge at Boscobel Golf Course.  These hard working volunteers, who believe in the cause of a better facility for the Pendleton Area Children,  will enjoy a day of golf on a beautiful course with great food and prizes.

How do these golfers and non-golfers raise the money?  Each participant will send out 40 letters asking for sponsors in the way of donations.  The average raised per participant is $1,000 from these letters.  Of course, all donations are made to the Pendleton Recreation Association and are tax deductible.

An interested business or individual might also like to sponsor a hole or be another kind of Corporate Sponsor.  For more information, please contact the PRA at 864-646-9226.
