A service of union for Maxwelltown West and New Abbey took place on Tuesday 5th May 2026 at 7pm.

This marked an important moment in the life of both congregations, as they celebrate a new chapter of worship, witness, and service within the Presbytery.  Members of the Presbytery, neighbouring congregations, and friends from the wider community shared in this significant occasion.

We continue to hold the congregations of Maxwelltown West and New Abbey in our prayers for the journey ahead together.
