Author: Bellshill Central

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.

Funeral Service for Robert Thomson

by Bellshill Central, posted in Weekly Church News

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Robert Thomson at this sad and tragic time, a local 18yr old who went missing in early June and died in sad circumstances some time later.

A funeral service for Robert will be held within Bellshill Central Parish Church on Monday 27th June at 1pm, to which all are invited.

We envisage that this will be a very busy service, so we urge people to plan ahead for travel purposes and parking.  The service will be conducted by Rev Kevin de Beer.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve, everyone does it differently.  As followers and believers in Christ, we turn to God’s Word to find strength and comfort as we grieve.

Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted”
