Join us for online worship Sunday 5th April at 11am

On Sunday 5th April, we will provide our next online worship which will be led by our minister, Rev’d Kevin de Beer, and will include some pre-recorded songs and hymns from our organist, the choir and congregation.

Join us from 10.45am, we will have some news screens to display and a couple of sing-a-long songs to join in with, before the Palm Sunday worship commences at 11am.

We thought it would be comforting to have familiar views and sounds while we worship in a different way during the COVID-19 crisis. So, in our online worship we will use the sounds of our organ, choir and congregation singing. We will use familiar images from our church, including our lovely stained glass windows.

The worship will be recorded in advance and will go online at just before 11am on Sunday morning at via our website and YouTube here https://bellshillcentral.church/watch-live/ or click the image to the left.

Once the live stream is finished it will be uploaded to our YouTube Channel for you to watch later if you missed the live stream and it will also be available on our Catch Up link at the very top of this website.

We hope you will join us!

waiting for our return!

Some notes for Monday’s Music for Reflection

Last Holy Week the Church Choir and some friends lead a service with excerpts from Stainer’s Crucifixion and had hoped to learn the other parts of it for this year’s Holy Week, but alas it wasn’t to be.

This 2020 Holy Week, we invite you to use last years Holy Week service for your thoughts, reflection and meditations as we enter into the journey and mystery of Holy Week and the Great Easter Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

We take this opportunity to thank those who took part last year and who are once again bringing this lovely rendition to us in 2020

  • Rev Kevin de Beer, leading the service and some narration
  • Jim Grier, narration (on the right of your screen)
  • Hugh Ainsley, narration (on the left of your screen)
  • Alan Mathew, Organist
  • Duncan Mackay, tenor solo
  • the choir of Bellshill Central Church
  • choir members from the West Church, Bellshill
  • Friends from Carluke, Lanark and others

We remember fondly and with love Betty Patrick & Bill Cameron. We sadly lost both during the following months. It is a lovely reminder to have had them part of this and again helping focus our thoughts in Holy Week, and we hope that they are singing with us in the heavenly choir.
