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.

We’ll choose the top ten wedding hymns, and this will form our video content. We’ll also include some incidental music such as entry and exit music and what might be played while you sign the register.

So, please be in touch. Send an email to organist@bellshillcentral.church

Make sure you tell us

The hymn/s and tune/s
Your name
When were you married
Where were you married

Please have your wedding hymns returned by 30th March at the very latest. We look forward to hearing from you.

Prayer for Ukraine

February 24, 2025 by Bellshill Central, posted in Prayer items

Prayer on the Occasion of the Third Anniversary of the War in Ukraine

Our Father in Heaven!
Our eyes are turned towards You and we lift up our hearts before You.
O God, for over one thousand days we have been praying daily to You, imploring You, putting our hope in You.
For over three horrible years we have received horrible news of the death of our compatriots, we have heard the noise of explosions and the wailing of the sirens.
Lord, every day the number of orphans and widows increases. Every day there are more people who experience the pain of loss of loved ones.
Our God, we see no end to this calamity, only You hold us.
For over one thousand days, Lord, we have stood and believed.
We thank You, for Your Spirit nourishes us.
We believe in Your righteousness, we place hope in Your mercy, we experience Your love in the midst of ruin and death.
But God, our strength is at its end.
We tell You of our pains, Father, though You know them all before we even tell You.
The sons and daughters of our nation leave us, they are dying in the fields of battle and under fire in our cities and towns..
We remain, Lord, remain with us.
We thank You for all those that support us, we thank You for our brothers and sisters in Christ and for the goodwill from those of other lands. Bless them!
Breath into us faith for the victory of love and truth.
Come, Lord Jesus!
Amen
