Bearsden Cross Church is presently closed for 'in-person' Worship on Sundays
Following the changes announced on January 4th there will be no 'in-person' provision for Worship on Sundays. The restrictions are subject to review by the Scottish Government.
Summary of arrangements:
Online Sunday worship continues at 10.30am each Sunday and can be accessed through the church’s Facebook page.
We are following the advice from the Scottish Government and the Church of Scotland.
PLEASE NOTE: The Office remains closed to visitors at this time.
Online streaming
We are continuing to stream a weekly act of worship online.
From Sunday 21st February we start a series of services for Lent, see below for details.
On Sunday February 14th we had a 'Virtual Pulpit Swap' when Rev. Tom Speers from Calvary Presbyterian Church, Wilmington, Delaware provided a video for our service. You can watch the service on catch-up.
The streamed services are on our Facebook page at 10:30am on a Sunday morning but are also available thereafter for you to catch up later. Whilst Facebook will encourage you to 'sign up', this is not necessary to view the services.
Look for the Videos tab where all of these are available.
If you know of anyone who does not have Internet access then please let them know that we also offer recordings of the services on DVD or on a USB memory stick.
For a DVD or USB stick then please contact the Minister on 0141 942 0507 or by email at gwilson@churchofscotland.org.uk or the Church Secretary at
secretary@bearsdencross.org
If anyone you know is unable to access the Internet, and does not have the equipment to play a DVD or a USB stick, then why not suggest that they try our phone service? You can dial in at a local rate number to hear a recording of the sermon each week.
Simply dial 0141 483 7770 and the sermon will play automatically.
Lent 2021 - Following Jesus
This year we will be following Jesus through the six Sundays of Lent – from the wilderness of the desert to the foot of the cross.
Each week, the minister will preach on different aspects of Jesus’ life and ministry with a particular focus on his ‘holy habits’ – practices which can give us ways to engage with his life and ministry.
It's hopde that this focus on the way that Jesus lived his life will help us to draw closer to him as we live our lives and follow his ‘holy habits’.
This year we will be following Jesus through the six Sundays of Lent – from the wilderness of the desert to the foot of the cross.
