HOMECOMING 2010

For the first time in the 235 year history of PPC we will celebrate our Scottish heritage on Homecoming, September 19.  A colorful, festive occasion is planned for this worship service, asking God's blessing and protection in a blend of music, hymns and prayers from the Scottish faith tradition.  As a part of this traditional celebration we are planning a Kirkin' O' The Tartan, which is a procession faith tradition.  As a part of this traditional Celebration procession of family tartans (Banners) led by a bagpiper and a Beadle (carries the Bible).  If you would like to participate in the processional, you will need to purchase your clan tartan.  Each clan has a distinctive plaid design, and the fabric is called Tartan.  (We may be able to borrow some tartans from other churches.)  We hope that one person from each family will participate in the procession by proudly carrying your family tartan.  If you would like to participate contact Judy Jones judyjones523@earthlink.net or Becky Griffin beckygriffin@bellsouth.net who will help you research your family Tartan.  The tartans must be ordered soon in order for them to arrive by September.  The cost is $75 which will include the tartan fabric and a banner pole and stand.  Tartans will be stored for use from year to year with the hopes of a permanent display in the future.  Your family does not need to be an actual founding member of PPC.  We want all members to celebrate, and we will help you find your Scottish connection.
