One doesn’t have to be Scottish to celebrate Scottish Heritage Sunday.   This is the time, though, where our church will celebrate its Scottish Heritage.  We will celebrate with Scottish music, bagpipes, yes, real bagpipes, banners, a beadle (someone who carries the family Bible to the front of the church), and Scottish attire.  The service begins at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, January 31, 2010. All Scots are asked to bring a piece of their clan tartan to be blessed.  This is called “Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan.”

Following the service will be a Ceilidh (a Scottish happening) with homemade shortbread  and the Scottish Country Dancers.  They will be in full dress and this will be held in Knox Hall.

Whatever your heritage, however, everyone is encouraged to wear something plaid.  Also please bring your Scottish friends. This is a really fun Sunday!   See you January 31!
