Kirkin' o' the Tartans
February 7, 2010

Our third annual Kirkin' o' the Tartans worship services on February 7, 2010, were enjoyed by everyone in attendance.

Near the end of the service, Paul Kirbas led the congregation in a Blessing of the Tartans.  Everyone then stood and together sang the five verses of "Amazing Grace" accompanied by the bagpipes and drums.  This was followed by the Recession.

Our bagpipers led the Recession, followed by the drummers, then the Covenanter Guards, the Beadle, the Clergy, and then all the participants with Tartan Flags.

No classes were held during our usual education hour between the 8:40 and 11:00 a.m. services on Sunday, February 7, 2010.  Instead there was a time of Scottish Fellowship in the Ministry Center, including refreshments and entertainment provided by the Thistle & Heather Highland Dancers of Chicagoland.
