Placement of the Bible *Affirmation of Faith from the Scots Confession, 1560 Written in 1560 when Scotland was declared a Protestant nation following the death of Mary Queen of Scots, the Scots Confession set forth an unconditional commitment to the triune God, to the Scriptures and to the Church which was to be marked by preaching of the Word of God, right administration of the sacraments, and proper discipline of church letters. We confess and acknowledge one God alone, to whom alone we must cleave, whom alone we must serve, whom only we must worship, and in whom alone we put our trust. Who is eternal, infinite, immeasurable, incomprehensible, omnipotent, invisible; one in substance and yet distinct in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. By whom we confess and believe all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, to have been created, to be retained in their being, and to be ruled and guided by his inscrutable providence for such end as his eternal wisdom, goodness, and justice have appointed, and to the manifestation of his own glory. ~from the Scots’ Confession, Chapter I
Pastoral Prayer and the Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Offering Our Gifts Psalm 23 *Doxology Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow - #544

The Kirkin’ of the Tartans cross North America, people of Scots descent celebrate their cultural and religious heritage by Kirkin’ the Tartan, when they bring the tartan of their clan’s heritage into church for a day. If you were to ask a native Scot about the ancient tradition of Kirkin’, you might get a blank stare and some muttering about Americans and brigadoonery. Scotland knows nothing about this tradition. It’s something only we colonials do. That makes sense, if you think about it: it’s only the people far from home who need reminders of their heritage and traditions. Kirkin’ of the Tartans likely began during World War II, when famous Scots pastor Rev. Peter Marshall grew discouraged at American isolationist sentiment. He felt Americans had forgotten their roots across the sea, and wanted to remind Presbyterians that they were sons and daughters of Scotland, had family there and that their own faith had been passed to them by tough Scots under persecution. On April 27, 1941, Rev. Marshall gave a sermon entitled “The Kirkin’ o’ the Tartans,” and the first Kirkin’ was held. Today, remember how good it is to know your family and your heritage, how we received our faith and at what cost. We lift up only one heritage today: Scotland, with its tartans and bagpipes. Many of us come from different countries and continents, from other tribes and nations, and those paths led us to this place and time. Our deepest heritage, though, is as part of the tribe of Christians, with God as our Father and Christ our brother, for our citizenship is from Heaven.
