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 final reflection with the Psalms in 2020

Time Is tiching Away

20 # Short Commentary and Lesson from Psalm 90.12

There are only 8,760 hours in each year. Nearly half of that time is spent sleeping, eating, and commuting to and from work. The average job consumed another 2,080 hours, leaving only a quarter of the year for everything else.
How are you using your time? When you life is coming to an end how will you see your life in light of moral and spiritual issues? “What  good did you receive from the things you did? All you have to show for them is your shame, and they lead to death. Sin pays off with death. But God’s gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord” (romans 6.21,23). Time is ticking away; don’t waste it.

A reflection from the Psalms-Psalm 69

Drowning in Misery

17 # Short Commentary and Lesson from Psalm 69.1-3, 13-17

You’ve lost your job, the car needs to be rapaired, the kids have been fighting again, and your “friends” have deserted you.

Your feet feel like they are planted in thick mud and the river is quickly rising to your chin. Your voice is hoarse and your eyes are swollen from your tears. Where is God when you need him?

Don’t be afraid, for despite your overwhelming circumstances, God can be trusted (vv. 30-36), The day will soon come when you can “tell the heavens and earth to start singing! Tell the mountains and every tree in the forest to join in the song! The Lord has rescued his people; now they will worship him” (Isaiah 44.23)
