If you wish a name added to our spoken Roll of Remembrance please get in touch ASAP, but at least by Friday at 8pm so we can make the necessary preparations.

WINTER SPONSORED WALK

#bellshillchurch #getactive #walk #run #community

This year’s Sponsored Walk didn’t take place as usual due to COVID19.  What we encourage you to do this year is to have a Winter Walk during November and December 2020.  You can do this on your own remembering to walk somewhere safe, or in your family or support bubble have a walk together. Or with a friend (or friends!) as long as you remember to keep socially distant from them – we want you always to be safe!

Please download the sponsor form here – DOWNLOAD

You are asked to try and walk 4 miles (that is the circumference of our Parish – give or take) and you can walk it in one go or do it in stages (for example a mile a day for four days)

A 4-mile route leaving the Church is shown below if you want to walk around our Parish of Bellshill Central. The route (below) is a moderate route with a steeper section once you cross Motherwell Road at the Calder Bridge along Community Road.

If you want to take part also let us know and we’ll send you a sponsor form. If you want to sponsor a participant, again please let us know.

Remembrance Poppies and display

Remembrance Day – Unfortunately, we won’t be able to meet in person this year to reflect and remember as we usually would.

However, we would like your help to create a Remembrance display on our front railings, to either side of the gates.

One idea is to crochet a Remembrance poppy and affix it to the railings – just like the ones in the video below. However, any item that signifies Remembrance is welcome.

Just add to the display anytime from 2nd November onwards. You don’t need to be an arty person to take part, you can just simply buy something for our remembrance display. Or add a laminated verse or a name.
