Holy Communion
​This service is when we follow Jesus' instructions to remember him by sharing bread and wine together, as he demonstrated in the last meal he shared with his disciples before he was arrested, tortured and then crucified. Visitors are welcome to receive communion - the minister leading the service will explain. Some people come forward to be prayed for but it is also okay if you prefer to remain in your seat and watch. 

There is also a service of Holy Communion every week on Wednesdays at 10am at Tweedmouth Parish Church.

Our churches have printed sheets to make it easy to follow the service and join in.

Morning Praise

This is a service using a variety of hymns/more modern songs, prayers and a talk (sermon) usually explaining one or more of the Bible passages that have been read and how they apply to our lives in the 21st century.

Morning Prayer

Morning prayer is a simple, structured, service full of praise and thanksgiving to God through hymns and psalms. Bible passages are read and explained. We pray for the needs of our communities, our country and the wider world. We prepare ourselves for all that may happen in our lives in the week ahead.

Family/All Age Service

These take place on the 1st Sunday of the month in Tweedmouth at 10am and the 2nd Sunday of the month at Scremerston at 11am. There will be songs and a talk and prayers - all the things you might expect in a church service but taking into account the understanding and attention spans of different age groups.

​Creative Church

This is our version of Messy Church and happens on the last Sunday of every month at St John's, Spittal at 3pm. There are lots of craft activities for children - adults can join in or just chat. Then there is a short time of child friendly worship songs and talk and prayers and then food for everyone. 

​Cafe Church

This is our newest form of service and happens just once every 3 months on the 2nd Sunday of the month. The nest one is due in January 2020. We meet at 4pm, in Northern View (formerly the Jubilee Club) on Highcliffe, Spittal. There's time for a cuppa, savoury nibbles and cake and a chat to the other folk around your table. The there's some music, maybe a game or two, someone sharing their experience of faith and there will be some prayers. It is very informal and there's always lots to keep children occupied. 

​Modern Evening Service

This happens at 6pm in Tweedmouth on the 2nd Sunday of each month (except when we have Cafe Church). We use the transept space (the open space at the side of the church) and is a fairly informal service with a longer period of worship songs and a longer sermon or teaching than in morning services. 

Special Services

- Probably most people's favourite services are our special Christmas services. These include traditional carol services and an Instant Nativity at Spittal when children can come dressed as their favourite person in the account of Jesus' birth. We deliver an invitation to these services to every home in our parishes. We have a joint Midnight Mass ​at one of our 3 churches.

- Spittal has several evening Songs of Praise including Sea Sunday and Harvest.

- Each year, on the 1st Sunday in November, we have at least one Bereavement Service to which everyone is welcome. We read the names of everyone whose funeral has taken place in our churches in the preceding year and the names of others who have died and whose families and friends ask for them to be remembered in this way. 

- Remembrance Sunday Always the Sunday closest to November 11th, our ministers lead the Remembrance Ceremonies at Scremerston, Spittal, Tweedmouth and East Ord. Click on the notice sheet link above to check the times of these events which are in addition to the Act of Remembrance included within our services.

- Tweedmouth Salmon Feast  - the River Tweed used to reach right uo to our church wall, where Dock Road is now and many photos of the traditional salmon fishing on the river have our church tower with it's salmon wind wane in the background. So every July we welcome the Salmon Queen and her attendants and the Civic Party followed by a very good buffet lunch.
