[Prester John]

Okay guys, here it is.

Service of Thanksgiving
and
Kirkin' O' The Tartans

Holy Assumption Orthodox Church, Canton, Ohio

St. Andrew's Day Wed. November 30th
7 pm

Programs will be available for the service.

It should be fun, and you can listen to the service LIVE by clicking here:

LISTEN LIVE: Nov. 30th 7pm - Orthodox Kirkin' O' The Tartan Service

OR just go here and bookmark it for November 30th.Click here

I think that based on the listener-ship to this service (which I hope will be high - we have listeners in over 60 countries), the regularity of the "Kirkin'" may soon be established.

Listen in if you can't make it!

[Prester John]

I should have mentioned...

consider this an open invitation to join us if you are anywhere near the Canton, Ohio area November 30th.

The Pipe Major of the Akron & District Pipe Band will be playing for us.

It'll be fun! Hopefully, we'll have pics, programs, and plenty of visitors.

A Kirkin' o' the Tartan in an orthodox church. I wonder if this is a first.

I will spread the word my direction for you, Father.

I believe it is a first....but don't quote me on that! 8)

Since we can't make it up to Canton this year, I'll definitely be listening in!

I'll bookmark the site on my computer at home this evening, Father, and I will be sure to "tune in"! I'll even put my Russian icon of St. Andrew by the computer! ;)

Don't forget, folks.

This Wednesday, November 30th at 7 pm Eastern, we are broadcasting our Kirkin' O' The Tartan Service of Thanksgiving in honor of St. Andrew.

The very front of this thread has the "listen live" link, so I won't repeat it here...for now. ;-)

If you are in the Canton, Ohio area, this is the first Kirkin' ever performed in an Orthodox Christian Church. Join us.

If you are not in the Canton, Ohio area, listen live to the broadcast.

Pipe Major Tim Wiley of the Akron and District Pipe Band will be our guest piper.

Oh, what the hey, more info at http://holyassumption.net/rector.html

Pics on our website will follow.

[Prester John]

Of course, I will try to make a few pics available here, but most likely, since I'm not good at figuring out how to do that, I'll provide a link to the pictures instead.

I hope that's okay.

John, when you have pictures ready, PM me and I will help you get them linked in to XMarks.

Hey KCW, thank you.

I need all the help I can get on such things.

This promises to be, at the very least, fun and interesting. Pipe Major Wiley is a great guy, and an incredible piper.

People with Scots heritage in my parish are beginning to pop up all over the place, so I've included a special section on the tartans associated with their names, and some district tartan pics too, at least as best as I can tell from the names I know.

Maybe I'll have to post the program, too, just to get feedback about it.
