Sunday worship on April 13 will be held at Bellshill Central Parish Church, 346 Main Street. Step-free access is available via the side path, disabled toilet facilities. Baby changing is available.
We gather at 11am for our morning service, which is led by Mr Ian Douglas. All are welcome. This is Palm Sunday. You're invited to bring along branches and palm leaves to wave as you sing. The choir have prepared Schubert Sanctus. and a very moving piece to Finlandia.
Activities for young folks are available during the service for any young folks that come along with you. An interactive all age talk takes place before the activities begin. Children are welcome to gather in the church with their parents.
After the service hot cross buns will be served in the hall — please stay behind for further fellowship.
Our service will be livestreamed via www.youtube.com/bellshillchurch, if you're not able to come along in person.
