One Question. One Minute. takes a day off. Meet One Minister. One Day.

What does a minister actually do all week? Apart from Sunday, obviously.

Follow Iain through one day, squeezed into 90 seconds. Not an ordinary day, because it turns out there isn’t really such a thing. There’s just a day.

Dogs, accidents, school runs and unexpected twists.

What you don’t see are the phone calls that come all day long, the questions in the corridor or over a coffee, the unexpected chats on the street on in the playground. Nor can we show the scramble to find childcare because Revd Iain can’t go alone to a pastoral emergency.

Some of the day is holy. Some of it is paperwork. Most of it is people.

Watch the full 90 seconds now.

WHY BOTHER?

Why bother going to church, praying, worshipping or helping others? Especially when life gets difficult, things don't go to plan, or we simply don't feel like it.

This week, we're asking some honest questions about faith, commitment and what keeps us going when times are tough.

Join us as we explore WHY BOTHER?

What does it mean to step out in faith, especially when we don't know exactly where the journey will take us?

In March 01st sermon, Rev Iain Majcher explores Genesis 12:1-9 and the story of Abraham, a man called by God to leave behind the familiar and step into an unknown future.

It's a story about trust, obedience and having the courage to follow God's calling, even when we can't see the whole picture.

Join us as we look back at Abraham's journey and discover what his story might teach us about our own journey of faith today.

This Sunday, 1 November, we will gather for worship in the Church Centre at our church in Bothwell, rather than in the sanctuary, as there is still no heating in the church building.

Please note the following changes for this week:

Venue: the Church Centre (the halls) at our church in Bothwell, Main Street, G71 8EX
No livestream: we are not able to livestream from the Church Centre, so the service will not be available online this week but we will hopefully share a sermon recording later in the week.
No communion: we will not be celebrating communion this Sunday

After worship, we will hold a meeting about the future of our congregation. This is an important conversation, and I would warmly encourage everyone who can to stay and take part. Your voice matters as we discern together where God is leading us.

The Kirk Session will meet as soon as possible to discuss where and how we will worship in the next weeks ahead, and we will share that with you as soon as a decision is made. Thank you for your patience and grace as we work through this together.

If you know someone who may not see this newsletter, please give them a call or let them know in person, so that no one misses out.

🙏 Church of Scotland – National Day of Prayer
📅 Saturday 31st October 2026 | 10am–12pm
📍 West Halls, Bellshill

“Pray continually.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Prayer is more than words; it is an opportunity to pause, draw closer to God, and bring before Him the joys, struggles and needs of our world. In the busyness of everyday life, prayer reminds us that we are never alone and that God calls us to be people of hope, compassion and love.

Along with congregations across Scotland, Bellshill and Bothwell Parish Church will be taking part in the National Day of Prayer, with prayer stations and a quiet space for personal reflection at our West Halls on Saturday 31st October, from 10am to 12pm.

Whether you come with a prayer on your heart, a concern for our community, or simply a desire to spend some quiet time with God, everyone is welcome.

Jesus reminds us in Matthew 5:14, “You are the light of the world.”

Come along, have a breakfast roll, spend time in prayer, and discover how, together, we can be a light in the darkness for our communities.
