Children from Yetholm Nursery regularly visit the kirk to join our weekly codffee mornings. On the 7th May they returned the favour and organised a coffee morning to which folks from the church were invited. Here are some photographs from the event. This is what the school wrote on their Facebook page, from which the pictures are also taken.
   "Yesterday our ELC hosted a coffee morning for their friends from the church coffee mornings. They held a planning meeting to decide everything they needed and then set about completing all the tasks. Their first task was to make posters to advertise the event then they set about making decorations to make the hall look pretty. They made all the cakes and treats they wanted to serve and on the day were super stars at setting everything up They were fantastic hosts welcoming everyone in, handing out cakes and having some lovely conversations with everyone. Very proud teachers yet again."

On Friday 8th May a group from Cheviot Churches went to Coldingham Parish Church for a retreat. Our morning reflections were led by Rev Peter Wood, the Mission Officer for Lothian and Borders Presbytery (above). His focus was on the 'Forth to Farne' pilgrimage route and the opportunies it offers for spreading and deeping Christian faith.
   The event took place in the parish church - formerly priory - which has been beautifully renewed, tastefully integrating the old and the new. In the afternoon participants had a chance to quietly explore the area and the day was rounded off with communion, led by our own minister Colin Johnston.
   Thanks to Trish for organising the day - and Margaret for arranging food.
