CHRISTMAS ISN’T CANCELLED 🌲🎅🤶🎁

Christmas isn’t cancelled, but it will look a little different this year

This year we need to do things a little bit different, due to not being able to gather together with each other over the Festive season

Here at Bellshill Central Parish Church we are looking at imaginative ways to engage and involve the community of Bellshill that we serve.

Things to look forward to and be involved in are:

  • Offer to read a chapter of the Gospel of Luke. Get in touch to video yourself, or your family, so we can share a chapter each day during the month of December.
  • Make an advent nativity scene at home and share your pictures with us.
  • If you make an advent nativity at home, tell us about each person in the scene. What is their story and journey?
  • Decorate a window at home and again share your pictures or videos with us
  • Tie a Christmas decoration on the church railings and gates. It could be a bauble, a star, a bow or something else Chrismassy. But remember whatever you choose it will need to be waterproof!

We are currently looking at incorporating elements of three special services in December into one online extravaganza! Those involved will be speaking very soon to bring all our ideas together.

So, let’s pull together and make Christmas 2020 special for all the right reasons

WINTER SPONSORED WALK

#bellshillchurch #getactive #walk #run #community

This year’s Sponsored Walk didn’t take place as usual due to COVID19.  What we encourage you to do this year is to have a Winter Walk during November and December 2020.  You can do this on your own remembering to walk somewhere safe, or in your family or support bubble have a walk together. Or with a friend (or friends!) as long as you remember to keep socially distant from them – we want you always to be safe!

Please download the sponsor form here – DOWNLOAD

You are asked to try and walk 4 miles (that is the circumference of our Parish – give or take) and you can walk it in one go or do it in stages (for example a mile a day for four days)

A 4-mile route leaving the Church is shown below if you want to walk around our Parish of Bellshill Central. The route (below) is a moderate route with a steeper section once you cross Motherwell Road at the Calder Bridge along Community Road.

If you want to take part also let us know and we’ll send you a sponsor form. If you want to sponsor a participant, again please let us know.
