SUNDAYS AT HOPE
We are passionate about gathering together as family - people of different ages and backgrounds to glorify God, worship Jesus and know the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Our gatherings aren't overly formal. We worship through song, prayer, testimony and Bible focussed preaching. We believe God gifts and speaks through His people so we make space for this. We have coffee afterwards - time to chat, meet others and ask questions.
A MONTHLY RHYTHM
We don't meet in the same way each week at Hope. We encourage greater participation across a dispersed Borders community by giving opportunity for smaller, mid and larger gatherings.
Life Mission Sunday
On the first Sunday every month, we meet in smaller groups in various locations across the Borders.
Mid-Month Sundays
All Together Sundays
On the last Sunday every month, we all come together as one church.
Over the summer months that means Drive In Church.
We meet at 10.30am in Church Field, St Boswells (opposite the Industrial Estate) and afterwards at Green Hope, Newtown for a bring and share picnic.
What to expect
Church will begin at 10.30am with live worship, so please try to get to Church Field in plenty of time to park up and get ready. If it’s raining or you would be more comfortable, feel free to stay warm and dry in your car. If the weather allows, please bring camping chairs, rugs, etc and join us on the grass down in front of the stage. Families, children and young people can use the space at the back of the field for space to play.
Picnic at Green Hope
Why not bring a picnic and join us after church for fellowship a short drive away at Green Hope, Plainfield, Newtown St Boswells, TD6 0RY. If you are unsure, ask a member of the team, or follow the crowd!
Please don’t attempt to park down the hill at Green Hope unless you have a blue badge and require disabled access. You are able to pull in at the front of Green Hope to drop off but please do not park on the street outside. There is a car park opposite the council building, a short walk away.
Finally a reminder that dogs are welcome at drive in church but please do ensure they are kept on a lead at all times in the field and after at the picnic.
KIDS & YOUTH
We have parent led creche facility for pre-schoolers called wee.hope, and our Hope Kids programme for primary age children happens at our Galashiels, Newtown and All Together Gatherings. Additionally we have Hope Youth for teens at Galashiels.
