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.
🐾 Annual Pet Service at Bellshill Central Church
Sunday 4th October at 3pm
There’s something special about the bond we share with our animals. They bring us companionship, comfort, joy and, quite often, a great deal of laughter! 🐶🐱🐰🐹
At Bellshill Central Parish Church, we’re delighted to welcome people and their beloved pets to our Annual Pet Service on Sunday 4th October at 3pm.
This is a relaxed and joyful service celebrating the wonderful animals who are part of our families, while giving thanks to God for the whole of creation.
Whether you have a dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, hamster — or something a little more unusual — everyone is welcome!
🐾 What to expect
Our Pet Service will include:
- Prayers of thanksgiving for our animals
- Bible readings and reflections
- Music and plenty of joy
- An opportunity to have your pet blessed
- A chance to remember and give thanks for animals who are no longer with us
And, of course, there will be plenty of wagging tails, curious noses and happy faces!
Pets must bring their humans! 😄
So, mark your diary, grab the lead, carrier or favourite pet blanket, and come along for an afternoon celebrating the animals we love.
