Thus, the “kirking” of a tartan is the bringing of that tartan to church, along with the family it represents, to receive the blessing of God. The service had its beginning during the early years of World War II, when the Rev. Peter Marshall, a native Scot and pastor of the New York Avenue Presby- terian Church in Washington, D.C., drew upon his heritage to support the British war effort. For Presbyterians today, the service is a celebration not only of our church’s roots in the Scottish Reformation, but also of the gospel call to reach out to all the families of the world, in all their rich diversity. We are grateful to Muriel Pearson for organizing our Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan for the past twenty-nine years and to the many members and friends of this congregation who have provided the tartans used in today’s service. The pulpit and lectern paraments and stoles for the pastors are in the Clergy (ancient) tartan, given to the glory of God and in memory of Lucy Pearson Smith and Marlton Cremore Pear- son. The Port City Pipes and Drums was founded in 1993 by Pipe Major Andrew Simpson, a native Scot. They have participated in our Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan since its inception. The Port City Pipes and Drums are a non-profit organization and play various events through- out the year.
