As the Church of Scotland in Bellshill we extend a warm welcome to any of our activities. People have been coming to this building to worship God for over a hundred years. While our town has journeyed through many changes over those years, the constancy of the witness of the “Church at 346 Main Street” has remained uninterrupted. The mission of any Church is to reflect through its presence, its music, its fellowship and its beauty the greatness of God, and we seek to do that here in all that we share. We hope that everyone who enters these doors will find an encouraging, friendly group of people. While we are far from perfect, we are regularly discovering truths that are changing us individually and enriching our lives as a church community. As we worship together, learn from the Bible, and pray for one another, we are strengthened in our commitment to Jesus Christ as well as to each other. If this is your first time here, we welcome you, and invite you to share the joy that we have found.

🎄❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU FROM BELLSHILL CENTRAL PARISH CHURCH! ❤️🎄

We are delighted to share that, thanks to your incredible generosity, we have filled 42 Christmas shoeboxes for Blythswood Care! 🎁📦

Each box is a little parcel of love, kindness and hope, bringing a smile to someone who may otherwise have very little this Christmas.

A special word of thanks to our wonderful coordinator Jayne for organising everything, and to Carole, our delivery driver, for helping get the boxes on their way. 💚

To everyone who donated, wrapped, packed and supported the appeal — thank you! Your kindness really does make a difference. 🥰

🙏 A Day of Prayer – Saturday 31st October

by Bellshill Central, posted in National Day Of Prayer

Bellshill Central Parish Church will be joining congregations across the Church of Scotland for a special Day of Prayer, seeking the light of Jesus to transform our Church, our communities in Scotland and the wider world.

On the afternoon of Saturday 31st October, our Trustee Elders will come together with Rev. Muriel Pearson, Interim Minister, to pray for our church and the wider Legbrannock Cluster, using three specific prayer points for each of the five churches involved in the proposed union.

Our website includes a link to the Day of Prayer materials, including the prayer pointers from across the Legbrannock Cluster.

There are also opportunities for everyone to join in prayer online:

🕚 11am – A live-streamed Day of Prayer service from West Kilbride Parish Church.

🕓 4pm – An online time of shared prayer led by Rev. Scott McRoberts and Rt. Rev. Gordon Kennedy, Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. Registration is free and open to all.

Let us join together in prayer, asking that we may be a Light in the Darkness, sharing the hope and love of Jesus in our church, our communities and beyond.
