Kirkln’ of the Tartans & picnic at St. Anne’s

Do you ever need extra motivation to go to church? St. Anne’s Episcopal Church can give you two reasons to make the extra effort to attend the 10 a.m. service on Sunday, June 14, at the church in Church Circle, Annapolis, Md. 

One is a beloved tradition called the Kirkln’ of the Tartans. The other is a picnic.

The Chesapeake Pipes & Drums and St. Andrew’s Society of Baltimore will lead this special service that honors Scottish heritage through the blessing of the tartans — the historic family symbols of Scotland.

The pipes and drums will lead the processional and recessional and perform during the offertory. Those who arrive a little early for the service or stay a little late can enjoy the bagpipes in the church yard. Those of Scottish descent are encouraged to wear their family tartan.

The Hospitality and Fellowship Committee also invites you to attend a picnic after the 10 a.m. service. Food and beverages will be provided. Hope to see you there.
