Summary
Tweedmouth, just next to Berwick's Tweed docks, is a friendly, welcoming, bible-believing church. There is a good mix
of all ages and a mix of modern songs and traditional hymns. There is coffee after the morning service, a Sunday school, regular social events, homegroups, and a Modern Evening Service with a worship band. For more information, see Tweedmouth Parish Church
Spittal at 9am has a traditional Church of England feel to it, with the priests wearing vestments, and with hymns (accompanied with the organ where possible) usually coming from the Ancient and Modern hymn book. The monthly afternoon Creative Church service for families though is anything but traditional - and all children with their parents or carers are welcome. For more information, see Spittal Parish Church
Scremerston is a village church (3 miles south of Berwick), seeking to serve the local parish, and where newcomers and visitors are very welcome. We have Holy Communion on every Sunday, apart from the last in the month, which is our family service. For more information, see Scremerston Parish Church

Creative Church November and December
Posted 14 Nov 2013 03:28 by revmatthewknox@yahoo.comOn 24th November, the theme for Creative Church will be Advent - and all children and their families are welcome: Crafts will be making Christmas cards, gift boxes, and crackers; stamping designs to make Christmas paper; creating candles in holders and stars for the tree; Donkey dung!; and an introduction to Christmas family activity. Food will be chicken casserole and in our Worship time, we'll focus on the advent calendar and the countdown to Christmas. In December, there will be no Creative Church on the 29th. Instead, on Christmas Eve, we'll have our Instant Nativity at 3pm: come dressed as your favourite nativity character if you want to take part in the play. -
Modern Evening Service
Posted 12 Oct 2013 16:16 by revmatthewknox@yahoo.comSunday 13th October at 6pm in Tweedmouth Church Hall - all are welcome to come for a load of modern worship songs and some in-depth teaching. We'll be having the last in our series on the 10 commandments (but if you haven't been before, don't worry, each service stands alone too). The songs we'll be singing can be found under the Modern Evening Service under the Tweedmouth Parish Church tab on the left. -
Creative Church
Posted 12 Oct 2013 16:13 by revmatthewknox@yahoo.comCreative Church this month is 2 1/2 years old in Spittal! We started back in May 2011 and on the 27th October at 3pm all children are welcome with their parents or carers as usual. We will be having, as now well established, a load of fun crafts, a short child-friendly service, and then we'll provide food. If you're new, visiting or returning, you would be very welcome. See the Creative Church tab under Spittal Parish Church for more details.
