Mothers day activities…

Sunday 14th is mother’s day!

As part of our online church service we want to share your messages to your mums!

If you want to make a video message, send it to us.

If you’re making a card or other homemade crafts take some pictures or a wee video of how you have been busy!

If you’ve got some pictures of you with your mum we would love to include them too.

We want to help you share the love you have for your mums, and say thank you to God for the precious gift of mum’s.

Funeral details for the Late Mrs Betty Toal

The details for Mrs Toal’s service are as follows.

a) A service will be held at Holytown Crematorium on Tuesday the 2’nd March at 09h30

b) The hearse will pass the church (Bellshill Central) from Fosters funeral care at a time still to be determined (but it will probably be at about 09h15). Those who might want to pay their respects are invited to stand outside the church at the appropriate time.

c) Restrictions are still in place and so there will only be 20 at the service (which will be by personal invitation)

d) For those who might want to offer a brief prayer in honour of her life then one of the following hymns might serve as a guide to prayer (each one of these hymns proved special to Mrs Toal)

  • Lord of all being throned afar
  • Abide with me
  • What a friend we have in Jesus
  • The Lord of sea and sky
  • Will your anchor hold
