Churches unite with Liddesdale

 
 
 

The Reverend Morag Crossan has announced that from 1st January there will be a union of Langholm, Ewes, Eskdalemuir, Westerkirk and Liddesdale parishes.

Morag will be the new minister for this newly created charge of Eskdale and Liddesdale. She looks forward to working with everyone.

David Latimer said: “All of the elders are delighted with the amalgamation of the parishes and with Morag as the new minister. This is definitely the way forward to allow the church to continue in Langholm. Morag is an ideal parish minister”
