Sunday services are held at Bowden Church at 9.30 AM and at Melrose Church at 11.00 AM.
Although the churches website is always subject to review and updating we are keen to
see further developments that tell more about the work of the congregation and our activities within the local communities.
The website continues to offer all of the essential news and information along with sections on the churches history and
past editions of the parish magazine.
This data can be accessed via the navigation bar above or the links below.
The current magazine for the summer months is now available to
download and view on line.
This current edition is packed with interesting and thought provoking articles.
As well as the usual information on church activities and the listing of rotas we would highlight the following.
- Letter from the Interim Moderator
- Pastoral Care Group
- Home Communion
- The Bowden & Melrose Guild forward programme
- Searching for St Aidan's first monastery
Alongside the two churches the town of Melrose has the Roman Catholic High Cross Church, and the Scottish Episcopal
Church of Holy Trinity.
The Parish Church endeavours to provide a service to all the community, both member and non-member alike. The buildings
are in almost daily use by the people of Melrose and in the following pages we provide information on the many
ways in which the Parish Churches forms a vital part of the two Communities.
