Between 1951 and 1958, Ruddell joined Maymont Pastoral Charge (from Ruddell-Denholm Pastoral Charge) and it remained until around 1966, when the charge combined with Borden-Radisson and Speers-Richard Pastoral Charges to form the shared ministry Maymont Larger Parish. Four appointments continued -- Borden, Maymont, Radisson, and Speers -- while Ruddell, Fielding, and others closed. On August 1, 2004, Radisson also closed.

Around 1976, Marengo, Alsask and Flaxcombe (from Marengo PC) combined with Eatonia and Mantario (from Eatonia PC) to form Prairie Neighbours Pastoral Charge. The new charge lasted until January 1, 1983, when Marengo Pastoral Charge was re-established (alongside Eatonia-Mantario). Loverna was eventually listed in the charge and the point at Flaxcombe was closed in February 1988. In 2012, Marengo Pastoral Charge was dissolved, with Alsask and Loverna forming separate pastoral charges.
