Weekly Church news from the pews and around our organisations and groups.
If you haven’t already indicated your attendance for Sunday 19th September can you please email bookings@bellshillcentral.church before Saturday evening. Jane is looking after the Test & Protect this week.
Whilst we call this “booking” we don’t have to worry about having enough seats! This booking is to simply let us know you’re coming so we can prepare our attendance list (making it easier when you attend church)
Welcome to our first in-person Worship Service since March 2020. It’s great to finally see you in the pews again. Since we last met together 540 days, or 1 year, 5 months, 22 days, or 77 Sundays have passed!
Please watch a short video with the Aitkens about how church might look when you come for in-person services.
However, there are still some restrictions in place

Throughout Scripture we are reminded of God’s direction over our lives. He is our good Shepherd who leads us if we we would look to Him for guidance. The Bible teaches us that God’s plan leads to joy and contentment. When we pray for God’s guidance and for discernment through the Holy Spirit, we can rest assured that God will provide wisdom! We do not have to worry about our next step or about tomorrow because we know who guides our way! Do not rush your day without going before God to seek guidance.
Dear Lord, times are really hard right now and life has really got me down. I don’t know what to do. I ask that You bestow Your wisdom upon me. I don’t want to lean on my own knowledge anymore, because it has let me down so many times. I need to hear Your voice. Give me the discernment to hear Your voice and Your voice alone. Speak to me in the way You know I will hear you best. I also pray for Your Will, Lord. I give You the praise and the glory in my circumstances because I know that I am exactly where You want me. I know this is to teach me something or to help me to grow. No matter what, I trust you and ask You to show what is best in this situation. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
