Congratulations to Andrew and Gillian Elliot married Saturday 15 June 1pm in Canonbie Church where the bride was baptised as a baby. All our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families and friends as their wedding celebration continues today.

Will take place after the morning service on Sunday 16th June. All are welcome.

Congratulations to Laura and Cameron the new Mr and Mrs Tait. Married in Canonbie Church today, 1st June 2019 at 1pm by Locum Minister Pauline Steenbergen. The organist was Donald Scott and the piper Craig Irving. Elder on duty was Ruth Gilbert.

Thankfully the rain waited until after the ceremony! God’s love and blessing on this couple.

We are holding a mini- conference this coming Saturday about the life and works of George MacDonald. Come along from 10am to 12pm for what promises to be an inspiration.

The Abaana Choir returned to Canonbie Church this morning to worship with us. They sang a couple of songs as part of the order of service, and when the final Hymn was ‘We are marching’ they sang, marched and danced with spontaneous exuberance.

What a joyous service.

Thank you to all that made it possible especially Rev Dave Whiteman our Interim Moderator who gave both the Sermon and Children’s address with thought provoking reflection on Thomas.

Last Sunday we welcomed the Moderator of the United Free Church to Canonbie Church.

He spoke about the ideal that we should be aspiring to – that is to be Christ-like, rather than trying to meet standards set by others.
