As we prepare for the season of Lent, Bellshill Central Parish Church invites you to journey with us through reflection, prayer, and community. Lent is a time to slow down, to listen, and to prepare our hearts for the mystery of Easter. Through weekly reflections, Holy Week activities, and moments of quiet devotion, we walk together in faith and hope.
Weekly Lent Reflections
Each week during Lent, we share a short reflection with Scripture and prayer—available in worship, on social media, and in printed form. These reflections invite us to consider themes of wilderness, repentance, discipleship, and grace, helping us draw closer to Christ in everyday life.
Holy Week Daily Reflections
From Palm Sunday to Holy Saturday, we offer daily reflections to guide your prayer and contemplation. Each includes a Scripture passage, a short meditation, and a prayer—designed to be read at home, in church, or wherever you find a quiet moment. These reflections follow the footsteps of Jesus through the final days of His earthly ministry.
Holy Week Activities
Monday 30 March – Prayers for Holy Week
Join us via Zoom for a quiet time of prayer and reflection as Holy Week begins. A gentle space to pause, pray, and prepare.
Wednesday 1 April – Film Night
We gather to watch a film that invites deeper reflection on faith, sacrifice, and hope. All are welcome—bring a friend and stay for discussion afterwards.
Thursday 2 April – Communion Service
On Maundy Thursday, we remember the Last Supper and Christ’s command to love one another. Our evening communion service is a time of sacred remembrance and shared grace.
Friday 3 April – Good Friday Open Doors
The church will be open from 10am for quiet reflection.
Reflections will be offered on the hour at 10am, 11am, 12pm and 1pm.
Come and go as you wish. Sit, rest, remember. All are welcome.
A Shared Journey
Lent and Holy Week are not only about solemnity—they are about love, renewal, and the promise of resurrection. Whether you join us for worship, reflection, or quiet prayer, you are part of this journey. Let us walk together toward Easter morning, trusting that God is with us every step of the way.
