Street Pastors grow in number
Borders Street Pastors attended Earlston Parish Church on Friday, April 20, for the commissioning of 11 new members.
The seven new street pastors and four response pastors were welcomed into the group by Rev Sandy Gunn of the Ascension Trust, Police Inspector Tony Hodges and councillor Euan Jardine.
