Bellshill Central Parish Church at 346 Main Street is now open for in person worship!
Our in person services on Sunday Mornings begin at 11am ( just as they did pre-Covid). Our doors open around 10.30am and we do not need any pre-booking beforehand. However, we ask that you call our Session Clerk to advise of your attendance so we can prepare the Trace and Protect sheets, as we need to keep a record of those in attendance, and by calling Stanley it will speed things up at the front door. Stanley’s number is 01698 747144. Or you can email bookings@bellshillcentral.church and we’ll make a note of your details and look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Sunday worship will be live streamed from inside the Church (and recorded) so that those who are not able, or don’t feel comfortable yet with in person worship, to take part in the service virtually. Just go to www.bellshillcentral.church/watch-live to take part. If the service isn’t available straight away it will be by Sunday afternoons on our YouTube and Facebook pages.
As Sunday worship is the only in person activity in the buildings at present, we are continuing to be the church locally in the community of Bellshill and Mossend by being active online, with Kevin’s continuing pastoral work and being a family of faith. Our groups and church members are in daily contact with each other.
