Come to Church in 2020

Coming along to church

You don’t have to have faith or sign up to anything to come along. You can explore what Christians do and believe and take things at your own pace.

What we do on a Sunday

We begin at 11.00am. We sing hymns accompanied on our fine pipe organ or piano, by our church organist. You can listen or participate in prayers. A volunteer reads from the Bible and the minister gives a talk on it. We sometimes have dramas and other activities.

We try to make the first part of Morning Worship suitable for all ages. For the next part, if there are young children in church, they can join our Crèche and Young Church who leave after the offering.  You can take them through and then come back into Church once they are settled. Or, if you prefer, they can remain with you in the Church.  After Morning Worship on the 1st Sunday of the Month we serve refreshments in the hall.  You are welcome to join us and get to know a few people.

Four times a year we join in Holy Communion (The Lord’s Supper/Eucharist)

This is on the 2nd Sunday of March, June, September and December, as well as Holy Week and Pentecost Sunday.  Holy Week communion is often celebrated with a joint service with all Bellshill Church’s Together. The Minister is able to make Home Communion visits for those who are no longer able to come to church in person.

Other services and their dates are announced in church in advance, such as our Time to Remember Services, Christmas services, Big Sings or ecumenical events.

Bellshill Central Parish Church – 2019 a year in photos

2019 at Bellshill Central has been a year of journeying together – all ages together – through the highs and lows. These images show our road taken, their essence remind us of where we have been. For what 2019 brought us – as family or individuals – we give thanks and look forward in Faith to 2020

Along the way we lost some much loved friends, family and precious ones. While we miss them terribly we remember them with the love they shared with us every day.

What’s the purpose of this year of pictures and memories? It’s to remind us that we are not just 4 walls, we are not just a building, we are a people. We are a busy and active congregation, and we are for all ages. We are inviting, welcoming and inclusive. We are the Church for YOU – our name says it plain and simple – BELLSHILL CENTRAL CHURCH – central to YOU!

Invitation to worship

Worship is for everyone who longs for God – believers and seekers. Worship is about honouring and praising our Lord and Saviour. It is a time when we gather together to experience the presence of the Holy Spirit, and express our joy and gratitude. The power of God’s word touches those who are hurting and awakens hope for the hopeless. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary worship, we invite you to celebrate the good news in Jesus Christ!

Sunday morning worship every week at 11am. You’re always welcome.

You will find a warm and friendly welcome here at Bellshill Central Parish Church of Scotland. We invite you to join us in a celebration of worship, christian fellowship, study and service. When you become a part of our exciting journey of faith, you will be encouraged, challenged and rewarded with renewed spirituality.
