The Kirking of the Tartan on Sunday, January 13th, was a wonderfully uplifting service and it was extremely satisfying that we had over twenty members and friends in attendance. It had been over eight years since we last held a Kirking at Strathmoor Church, but from the positive comments that were made, I have the impression that there won’t be such a big gap before the next one.

Services such as these are a timely reminder of our heritage and from the display of tartan (plaid) by the congregation it is obvious that there are many families in the area with a Scottish background. So much so that we have already had an inquiry from Ascension Lutheran Church, 13725 Shelbyville Road, and a tentative inquiry from another - so word is getting around!
