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.

Doorstep Carols Sunday 20th December 2020

by Bellshill Central, posted in Christmas, Other News, Weekly Church News

Rev Mike Goss of Barry and Carnoustie Churches is appealing to individuals and families across the country to gather in front of their homes for “Doorstep Carols” on the 20th of December at 6pm and ensure it is anything but a Silent Night.

He said traditional door to door caroling was clearly not possible due to COVID-19 restrictions but filling the streets with the joyful sound of classics like ‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’, Away in a Manger and ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ will send out a strong message that Christmas is “not cancelled”.

The event, which features five carols should last approximately 15 minutes, and would serve as a “beacon of light in the darkness” and provide hope for the future.

People can download the words to the five carols from the church website ahead of the event to ensure they are singing from the same (hymn) sheet.

Join us on your doorstep at 6pm on Sunday 20th December as we join in with the largest Carol service around.
