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.
Lord our God, our light and our life, in our longing to live by your Word we lift our eyes to you. Let your Word come into our hearts. Let your Word help us to understand our lives and our time, so that we can recognize your leading in everything and gather courage every day in spite of our weakness, sins, and faults. We can still find joy, for your kingdom is coming. We can feel that you are among us, however great the anguish of these times. Let the light of Jesus Christ shine out; let your Spirit of peace and grace come to all nations so that your will may be done. Free people from all their confusion. Release them from their bondage. Make them free for what is good, true, and eternal. May your name be praised among us today and forevermore. Amen.
Our Christmas Eve Nativity Service takes place online this year via this website, Facebook and YouTube. Use whatever website/link works best for you!
Our Young Church have been busy this year with this online presentation of the Nativity and it does not disappoint. They’ve had to be imaginative as it all had to be recorded individually at home, then sent in, then edited, then all stitched together into this 50minute service of drama, readings and songs.
We must thank Robyn and Emily Aitken who were the co-writers and co-producers this year. Girls, you have done a wonderful job, keeping the Nativity special, but in bringing it right up to date for 2020!
Although we are in our homes, we have creatively retold the story of the Birth of Christ in a virtual setting, with participants from all parts of our Church Family.
