'United in serving God, by welcoming you, sharing His love and reaching out in service to our community'
We are a Church of Scotland United Charge situated in the beautiful Scottish Borders. The United Charge comprises three congregations in four churches each close to the River Tweed which flows through the parishes.
THIS WEEK - encouragement from our Reflections
We are looking towards COP26 in a short time. We are asked to support the endeavour to make it not just a talking shop, but a time of making plans and policies that will bring about change in our world. Please remember to pray for all who are involved. Our challenge for you today is to examine your life and pledge to make two changes in the coming weeks.
Consider -1. Eat seasonal foods and to continue with more vigour to have two days a week which are meat or fish-free. 2. If appropriate pledge to donate at least part of your fuel payment from the government, to a charity that looks to help those who are in fuel poverty.

Welcome to our new Charge!
The Parish Churches of Maxton & Mertoun, Newtown and St Boswells Churches became a United Charge following a meeting of Presbytery on Tuesday 23rd March 2021. The name for our United Charge is Dryburgh District Churches and so our website has a new address!
If you are reading this you have successfully found our new home. There will be a special service to mark the Union later in the year, perhaps when the Covid restrictions are eased further.
