Sunday worship on Sunday 31st March will be held at Bellshill Central Parish Church, 346 Main Street, Bellshill, ML4 1BA
We meet at 9am in the church garden for a short outdoor act of worship, if the weather is inclement we will meet in the hall. Afterwards we share breakfast.
We then gather again at 11am for our morning service led by Rev Jim Zambonini with activities for young folks available via our Creche and Young Church.
Please bring along some fresh flowers/daffodils to decorate the Flowering Cross.
The service will be lived streamed via http://www.facebook.com/bellshillchurch then edited and uploaded to our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/bellshillchurch
Huge thank you to everyone who contributed to our Daffodil tea. It was a great time of friendship and fellowship. We raised over £1,000 for church funds too! A massive and appreciative shout out to our Fundraising and social team for their tremendous organising and hosting of this wonderful afternoon
