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.

Growing into Christ
Verse for the Day
‘The gifts he gave were … for building up the body of Christ, until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ’ (Ephesians 4:11-13).
Scripture Passages
Proverbs 9:10
Psalm 119:97-103
Mark 12:28–34a
Prayer
May I rise with You, Light of the World,
called to bring grace and mercy.
May I journey in the wake of Your Spirit,
called towards righteousness and peace.
May I rest with the hope of good things
in the places of Your creation that You, O God, call me to bring healing.
May we all, with courage and joy,
work faithfully for the coming of Your kingdom.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
Now and always and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
Questions
- Personal: Where have you experienced ‘stretching’ as you strive for the full stature of Christ? Reflect on what you learned.
- Local: Who do we need to stretch us a bit more in our loving and serving in our local context?
- Global: Who do we need to journey with to stretch us in our loving and serving in a national and global context?
Go and Do
Global: Find something culturally distant and uncomfortable for you and engage and learn from it.
Personal: Reflect on where you are afraid to go. Have a conversation with someone you trust about discipleship opportunities that feel challenging.
Local: Find a group or local activity that stretches your faith and service, and learn a bit more by engaging with them.
