COVID-19 News, Reflections and Support Information
Church services in Melrose Parish Church have resumed and at Bowden kirk as of 8th November. There will be
limits on the numbers who can attend this being 50 in Melrose and between 9 and 18 in Bowden.
Additionally all church meetings and events are still cancelled.
During this time we have found new ways of keeping in touch, supporting one another, and being good neighbours.

This can be in the form of downloadable text, audio clips or video. There are also links below to older on-line
