Word on Wednesday
WORD ON WEDNESDAY HOME PAGE CLICK HERE

Our minister, Rev Kevin de Beer, has launched his own YouTube channel where his weekly “Word on Wednesday” short reflection videos are posted each Wednesday morning.
~ Exploring the Christian faith – knowing, living and sharing faith ~
Kevin believes that as the social media presence of the church grows it is a good platform to reach out to people. He said: “We are fortunate to have a team that worked hard on our Internet presence and I was asked to post 31 days of prayer last summer which was well received. “The gift of sharing prayers was repeated throughout Lent and this too was well received. “As the Facebook page of Bellshill Central has grown in its reach and influence, we have decided to launch ‘Word on Wednesdays’ – a three-minute biblical reflection, followed by a prayer.”
We have as a church also published ‘First Steps – Journeying in Faith, Hope and Love’ and has 50 copies to give to people in Bellshill who have questions concerning God and the Bible. The Rev de Beer said: “We believe that the church offers a community where people can gather to worship, to ask questions and give loving service.”
New Church CD: Sounds from Central
Bellshill Central Parish Church is pleased to announce that our church CD, featuring what is arguably one of Lanarkshire’s finest pipe organs, is now on sale.

The CD has the following items of music:
This would make a great Christmas gift for anyone connected with Bellshill Central Parish Church, anyone with a love of church music, organ music or a gift of something that little bit different.

They are on sale each Sunday before or after worship, available on Sunday 17th December after the Candlelit Carols at 6.30pm and finally after our Christmas Eve family service at 7.00pm.
