Third Annual Kirking of the Tartans – Sunday, Oct. 26

For the third year, St. Andrews celebrates the Kirking of the Tartans,  a service of worship that embraces Presbyterian heritage in word and music.

The service is colorful and a wee bit noisy with bagpipes, and everyone is encouraged to wear their clan or family colors, whether Scottish or not.

But the service at Saint Andrews strives to reach beyond just clan . We are not all Presbyterian by name – and we are all not all of the same family lines in heritage – but we are all brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ – and we are all the children of God. That is the blood line that binds all of us together in a clan that has been from the creation.

Come enjoy the bagpipes, the men in kilts and the wonderful celebration of the Presbyterian heritage.

After the service, we will celebrate some more with a shortbread reception. Another Scottish tradition – wonderful buttery shortbread.
