Special Worship Services
Kirkin O' the Tartan
"Kirk" is a Scottish word meaning "church," and in Scotland it usually means the Church of Scotland - the Presbyterian Church. As a church which is part of the Reformed Tradition, we hold on to the essential tenant of the faith that it is our calling in life to glorify God and serve God forever.
There is a processional of the family tartan with the flags and banners led by the bagpipes and the drums of the Scottish Heritage Society of Rochester. During the service, each clan presents its tartan to be blessed, in recognition to God's service. The worship service concludes with the hymn "Amazing Grace" led by pipers, drum, and organ. The fellowship committee will host a coffee hour with authentic Scottish goodies! Yummy!
Our congregation is especially grateful to the Scottish Heritage Society of Rochester, NY, who organized and planned for this wonderful and inspired service with the energetic drums and bagpipes! Thank you! This special worship service is only held every other year, so don't miss out!
