Kirking of the Tartans on October 27

Join us for our annual celebration of the Kirking of the Tartans at St. Andrews on Sunday, October 27. It is a service reflecting the Scottish heritage of the Presbyterian Church. With bagpipes, tartans, special music, and liturgy, we celebrate the Scottish roots of our Reformed faith. There will be a shortbread reception in Heffner Hall following worship.

While our members come from a wide diversity of countries and ethnicities, the Presbyterian Church traces its roots back to Scotland. We are all children in God’s family, brothers and sisters in Christ, no matter our lineage- and we are all families in the clan of St. Andrews. On the Sunday when we celebrate our Reformed and Scottish heritage we also celebrate that the Gospel was not confined to Nazareth. We celebrate that the good news continued to spread to Scotland, to the United States, and around the world. On October 27, everyone is invited to wear something that represents and celebrates their heritage, whether it be a tartan, Kente cloth, or cowboy boots!
