Fairtrade fortnight

by Bellshill Central, posted in Other News, Weekly Church News

FAIRTRADE FORTNIGHT
Fairtrade fortnight runs from 22nd February – 7th March

As the church buildings are currently closed, due to COVID-19, we haven’t been able to support Fairtrade this year, but you might like to host something like a fairtrade breakfast at home to support the work of Fairtrade

Many of our local shops all have Fairtrade good you might like to buy : from bananas and cereal to tea and coffee. If you’re looking for something for a little later in the day they also have Fairtrade chocolate and Fairtrade wine – and Fairtrade flowers too

Mrs Betty Toal – May she rest in peace

by Bellshill Central, posted in Other News, Prayer items, Weekly Church News

It is with a heavy heart and with great sadness we share the news of the death of Mrs Elizabeth (Betty) Toal. Betty was the oldest member of Bellshill Central Parish Church.

As we are all well aware Betty was and will always be a remarkable woman. She was deeply loved by many in Bellshill.

We remember her memory, her grace and dignity. We especially remember Colin and the family at this sad time.

Eternal rest, grant unto her, O LORD,
And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.
