Remit

  • To prepare a bank of services which can be adapted and updated as the need to be deliver these arises
  • To take the lead in provision of ‘Sunday Café.’ Four times a year.
  • Supplement Pulpit Supply when the minister is not available.
  • Contribute to Sunday worship on an ad hoc basis (prayers / short reflections) to provide support to the minister.

The group is a presbytery resource with trained members operating as a working party supportive of not only our own Minister but of other charges locally. Group members have undergone training by the former Jedburgh Presbytery and are now permitted to design and lead worship not only in Hobkirk/Southdean with Ruberslaw Parishes but also within the wider Presbytery area. The group works with the support and supervision of the parish minister and when the group works autonomously to the minister then information is always shared.
