On Sunday 24 July we meet for worship at 9.30am in Bowden Kirk and 11.00am in Melrose Church for the first in a series of four services based on the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament. Melrose services are livestreamed, and you can join us on our church website or Facebook page or watch the recording thereafter.

Treasurer
Gordon Chisholm, our Church Treasurer, has indicated that he wishes to stand down after many years in the role. We are most grateful to him for his commitment to the church. So, we are looking for a new Treasurer. The day-to-day bookkeeping is done by the Church Secretary. The Treasurer keeps a watching eye on the financial position, reports quarterly to the Finance Committee, and prepares the annual accounts. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please speak to the minister or William Windram, the Session Clerk.
