The congregation of Earlston Parish Church is generous in its charitable giving outwith the church, so we restrict the charities that we support from within the church.

CHRISTIAN AID
Our parish is one of the most generous in the Presbytery, both per capita and absolutely. 

BLYTHSWOOD TRUST SHOEBOXES
As the photograph shows, we collect a large number every year.

Christmas 2024 we collected 70 Shoeboxes plus lots of knitted items.

OVERSEAS MISSION
One of the projects of our Stewardship campaign was to identify an overseas congregation with whom to twin. This is now progressing: we have visited and been visited by Rev Rola Sleiman of Tripoli Presbyterian Church in Lebanon. In August 2018 we were visited by a young adult from the church in Lebanon, and in April 2019 a small group from Earlston visited Tripoli where we extended the bonds of friendship. We are grateful the Rev Rola Sleiman and her nephew Jack had a visit to us in August 2024. It was very special that she conducted Holy Communion for the residents and friends in Hanover Housing and in our Church.
