You are cordially invited to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of GraceWay Church’s founding on Sunday, October 30th, 2022.We will begin with a special worship service at 10:00 AM, honoring our Scottish Presbyterian heritage with a “Kirkin’ O' The Tartans,” meaning, Blessing of the Families.
The “Kirkin’ is an annual event where Scottish clans (extended families) present themselves before the Lord and pledge themselves and their “kith and kin” in renewed fidelity to the King of Kings.
The Presbyterian Church traces its origin to the Church of Scotland. "Kirk" is the Gaelic word for "Church." Tartans represent specific Scottish clans, regions, or regiments with their distinctive plaids. The "Kirkin' O' The Tartans" is the presentation of a Scottish family's symbol, its tartan, at their church for blessing. Beyond the particular heritage of Scotland and its people, GraceWay’s Kirkin' is intended to encourage all participants to reflect with thanksgiving on their own family and ethnic heritage, and to celebrate God's grace poured out upon them for all generations.
GraceWay Church, formerly known as Lake Square Presbyterian Church, has ministered to our community for over 40 years. During that time, we have been led by nine pastors (three of whom will be joining our celebration: Reverend Dr. Jerry Little, Reverend Dr. Steve Hulsey, and Reverend Bill Birdsall). We have occupied three different buildings and have been blessed by thousands of people who have chosen to make us their church home.
Following the worship service, there will be a Celebration Luncheon with a special program (including special surprise guests) at 12:00 PM in the Family Life Center. The luncheon is catered by Emiliannas; tickets are $25 must be purchased in advance in person or by calling the church office at 352.728.1620.
We are looking forward to a BIG FAMILY REUNION; members, regular attendees, and those who have moved or now worship elsewhere are all invited! Please join us as we remember, reconnect, renew, and rejoice in what God has done and will continue to do through us as we strive to be a place “Where Christ Changes Lives.”
