Kirkin’ of the Tartan
Sunday, November 9
8:30 & 11:00am Worship
In the Kirkin’ of the Tartan service, we remember the Scottish origins of the Presbyterian Church with bagpipes and drums, and with the blessing of the tartans.
We also celebrate our shared life together as children of God. You are invited to celebrate your unique ancestry by wearing a family plaid or traditional clothing of your heritage.
Fellowship Breakfast is back for Kirkin’!

Scottish themed Fellowship Breakfast includes:
Drop Scones, Breakfast Meats (Sausage, Kielbasa, Ham), Roasted Tomatoes, Heinz Beans, Fried/Sauteed Mushrooms, Quiche, Porridge/Oats, Fruit, OJ/Milk/Coffee
Kirkin’ 101 | 9:45am-10:30am | Room 057
Come learn about the tradition of Kirkin’ of the Tartan. What’s with the bagpipes? The tartans? The kilts? What can it teach us about roots of the Presbyterian Church and how this tradition might lead us to more fully celebrate the diversity within our faith today?
