In this special episode, we bring you the 2025 Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan Reflection, “Faith of Our Fathers, Hope for Our Future,” delivered by Deacon Andrew McLean, M.Div., at First Presbyterian Church of Dunn on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

Drawing from the deep roots of Reformation Sunday and the enduring legacy of Scottish Presbyterian faith, Andrew explores how the “Kirkin’ o’ the Tartan” tradition connects heritage, community, and hope across generations. Listeners will journey from the courage of Martin Luther and John Calvin, through the reforming spirit of John Knox, to the faithful immigrants who carried their tartans—and their convictions—to the American colonies.

Through this reflection, Andrew invites us to see the tartan as more than fabric, but as a living symbol of faith woven through history and into our lives today. Whether your heritage is Scottish, Irish, or from another part of the world, this message reminds us that we all share in the same story of grace, perseverance, and renewal.

Tune in to celebrate the faith of our fathers and embrace the hope that leads us into the future of Christ’s Church.
