The Kirking of the Council - a tradition dating back hundreds of years – will be held in Bellshill Central on Sunday 29th September. A committee representing NLC and the BCPC congregation is working closely together to revitalise this historic tradition that was unfortunately stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Kirkin’ of the Council is a partnership between local congregations and North Lanarkshire Council that enables churches to bless the work of the elected Members and their officials and for the Council to recognise the contribution of the Christian community within the local area. We hope that all members and friends of BCPC will come along to this important Civic event, to support the minister and office bearers, and the invited guests from the Council and local organisations. Our invitation to the local community: “The congregation of Bellshill Central is proud to host this historic event, which will take place at Bellshill Central Parish Church. We would like to invite all the people in the town of Bellshill, and across North Lanarkshire - of all faiths and of none - to the Kirking service as we celebrate our common life together at this important community event. Whether you come to take part in the worship service within the Church or take part online, you will be made very welcome.”
