We will soon move to new premises in Edinburgh.
The main Scottish Episcopal Church office will vacate Forbes House while the building's future is addressed due to maintenance and operational issues.
As we are Forbes House tenants, we must seek new premises too.

🌳 It's all go at St Andrew's, Kelso!
They recently joined Kelso Churches Together at a town-centre outreach stand, while twenty-four people attended a Bible Study this month.
Part of the garden at St Andrew's is also being extended, while the church has just run a plant sale!
