Home

Welcome to our parishes nestling in the Cheviots.

Here we wish to introduce ourselves to you, give some historic background to our places of worship and offer you information on our current activities.

This is very much Border country and God has been worshipped here from the very earliest settlements of Christianity. All our ancient parish borders are crossed by the St Cuthbert’s Way, a long distance walk from Old Melrose to Lindesfarne. On his way it is said Cuthbert loved to roam our hills bringing the good news of the Gospel to the ‘hill’ people. At Yetholm it is said the nobles who fell at Flodden were brought for a Scottish burial. Linton, a Norman Kirk, has the only Tympanum Stone extant in Scotland and is the home of remarkable legends. Hownam Kirk lies within the lovely Kale Valley - sheep country - and host to the remains of very early settlements. At the bottom of the valley lies the delightful village of Morebattle.

For our friends and members this site will host information and news that we hope you will find useful. We have started to place some features and worship items into the site which we hope you enjoy.

RESTING ON THE WAY

1 Peter 2.1-3

Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Blessed are you Lord, God of all Creation

through your goodness we have this bread to offer

which earth has given and human hands have made

it will become for us the bread of life.

Blessed are you Lord, God of all Creation

through your goodness we have this wine to offer

fruit of the vine and work of human hands

it will become our spiritual drink

Come and partake the gospel feast,

Be saved from sin, in Jesus rest;

O taste the goodness of our God,

and eat his flesh and drink his blood

Charles Wesley
