Pastoral care

Christmas Prayer Tree : a local initiative for 2007
Karen Massey of the Auld Cross Keys in Denholm and the Minister have together had an idea to encourage people to remember those who are bereaved in the village over the Christmas Season by placing a Christmas Prayer Tree in Denholm Church.  The tree will be full of stars, and people are invited to remember their loved ones by writing their names on to the stars.  The tree is being gifted by the Auld Cross Keys Inn and will be in Denholm Church from the first Sunday of Advent, Sunday 2nd December.  Please note the first service at Denholm in the calendar wiil be on Sunday 16th December at 11.30am.  Stars can also be handed to an Elder at any of the other services at Minto and Bedrule, or anonymously to the Manse and/or Auld Cross Keys Inn.

Outr Interim Moderator, Revd. Neil Combe, regularly visits parishioners in the Borders General Hospital, those in care, housebound and anyone else in the community who would like a visit from him. However, he is minister to five very diverse parishes covering a substantial area, and therefore must also rely upon the elders and church-goers for intimations of those who would like a visit from him.  If you would like him to visit - or you know of someone who would - please get in touch with your area elder, e-mail us via the website by clicking here, or contact Neil directly at Tevit manse, Buccleuch Road, Hawick. Bear in mind too that visits may also be arranged from your area elder.
