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.

Young Church A Woman Who Made History

by Bellshill Central, posted in Mid Week Church

Welcome to another BCPC online young church, today Rev Kevin tells us about a woman who made history! Hundred’s of years ago a woman had a passion, used her imagination, and did not give up. God tells us the same!

Listen to Rev Kevin’s story, we pray together and have a song about God being good. Stay safe everyone, watch this together as a family, whenever you are able.

A Psalm A Day – Psalm 146

by Bellshill Central, posted in A Psalm a Day

Psalm 146

Good News Translation

See the source image

In Praise of God the Savior

146 Praise the Lord!
    Praise the Lord, my soul!
2 I will praise him as long as I live;
    I will sing to my God all my life.

3 Don’t put your trust in human leaders;
    no human being can save you.
4 When they die, they return to the dust;
    on that day all their plans come to an end.

5 Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them
    and who depend on the Lord their God,
6 the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea,
    and all that is in them.
He always keeps his promises;
7     he judges in favor of the oppressed
    and gives food to the hungry.

The Lord sets prisoners free
8     and gives sight to the blind.
He lifts those who have fallen;
    he loves his righteous people.
9 He protects the strangers who live in our land;
    he helps widows and orphans,
    but takes the wicked to their ruin.

10 The Lord is king forever.
    Your God, O Zion, will reign for all time.

Praise the Lord!

A Psalm a Day – Psalm 145

by Bellshill Central, posted in A Psalm a Day

Psalm 145 New International Version

A psalm of praise. Of David.

1 I will exalt you, my God the King;
    I will praise your name for ever and ever.
2 Every day I will praise you
    and extol your name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    his greatness no one can fathom.
4 One generation commends your works to another;
    they tell of your mighty acts.
5 They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
    and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
6 They tell of the power of your awesome works—
    and I will proclaim your great deeds.
7 They celebrate your abundant goodness
    and joyfully sing of your righteousness.

8 The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
    slow to anger and rich in love.

9 The Lord is good to all;
    he has compassion on all he has made.
10 All your works praise you, Lord;
    your faithful people extol you.
11 They tell of the glory of your kingdom
    and speak of your might,
12 so that all people may know of your mighty acts
    and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
    and your dominion endures through all generations.

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
    and faithful in all he does.
14 The Lord upholds all who fall
    and lifts up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all look to you,
    and you give them their food at the proper time.
16 You open your hand
    and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways
    and faithful in all he does.
18 The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth.
19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
    he hears their cry and saves them.
20 The Lord watches over all who love him,
    but all the wicked he will destroy.

21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.
    Let every creature praise his holy name
    for ever and ever.
