Bellshill Central Parish Church — we’re here, we’re open, and you’re very welcome!
Whether you were with us recently, haven’t been for a while, or have never been through our doors before, you can be sure of a warm welcome at Bellshill Central. We’re a growing church, rooted in our community, and we’d love you to be part of what’s happening.
⛪ Sunday Worship — 13 September
Join us at 11am at Bellshill Central Parish Church, 346 Main Street, Bellshill, ML4 1BA.
Our service will be led by Rev Margaret ES Rose, BD. Margaret was our locum minister for more than two years, and we’re delighted to welcome her back to lead worship with us.
The service will include the Sacrament of Communion, with a retiring offering.
Everyone is welcome at the Lord’s Table. You don’t need to be a member, and you don’t need to have attended before. Simply come as you are.
We use non-alcoholic Communion wine, and gluten-free bread is available.
For families:
Young Church and Crèche activities are available during the service. We begin with an interactive All-Age Talk, after which children and young people can join the activities. Children are very welcome to remain in church with their parents if they prefer.
Accessibility:
• Step-free access via the side path
• Disabled toilet facilities
• Baby-changing facilities
Unable to join us in person? The service will be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/bellshillchurch
