Life and Work special offer to Bellshill Central friends and members

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

Hi folks. Peggy Walker, our life and work coordinator has received the following message from the Life and Work team for anyone wishing to join the distribution network at a discounted price. This is a lovely offer from the editorial team and should you wish to take up the offer please contact Peggy Walker directly.

Dear Margaret

I hope you are keeping well during this challenging time.

In the July Life and Work magazine I was encouraged to read the piece in the Parish News section titled ‘A wash of colour’ about the community challenge set by Bellshill Central Parish Church to decorate the railings around the Church. This is a lovely and creative way to bring the community together, and an encouragement to everyone who sees it.

If there were other members of your Church, who would enjoy reading this, and the other articles and features in the magazine, we would like to offer extra copies at a 20% discount. This would be a cost of £2.24 rather than £2.80 per magazine.

If you would like to order extra copies please just let me know and we would be pleased to arrange this for you. The copies can be delivered direct to individuals.

Take care and best wishes,

Melissa

Prayer Ribbons

by Bellshill Central, posted in COVID-19, Other News, Prayer items

As the country looks towards the Government’s plans to relax restrictions and allow a phased return to some normality in the Coronavirus pandemic prayer more than ever is needed!

Here at Bellshill’s Central Church we’ve encouraged daily prayers each night at 8pm, for our town, community and the wider country for those affected by COVID19.

Our Hearts of Hope are still firmly fixed to our railings and have also inspired others to spread hope with the symbols of love and hearts in the town.

HOPE IS STILL NEEDED! IF YOU’D LIKE TO MAKE A HEART AND ADD IT TO THE RAILKNGS, PLEASE DO SO. THERES PLENTY OF ROOM.

We want to encourage everyone to pray more now as we look towards the phases to return our communities back to normality.

  • We pray for common sense.
  • We pray for people to listen to our leaders advice.
  • We pray for a reduced number of COVID 19 cases throughout all the phases
  • We continue to pray for those families who have and still are affected by COVID19
  • We pray for our Dr’s, nurses and all key workers

Please stop for a moment and pray. It can be short or long. God listens to every prayer!

We’d encourage you to place a prayer ribbon (just a length of coloured ribbon) on our gates and railings each time you pray. This will show, by the number of ribbons, how many prayers have actually been offered. This will be a tremendous show of hope, love and strength and show people we are praying for them as we move into the phases proposed by our Government.

please take part and spread the word to all of bellshill. Prayer is important, but even more so as we look to the future.

Please remember we have a prayer requests option on our website. Simply submit the details and our minister will pray for the person or situation. This is completely confidential
