Thank you for visiting our website.

 

Shettleston New Church, like many churches across the land, was required to close doors when the country went into lockdown from the end of March 2020 until September 2020.  And again from December 2020 until March 2021.  The congregation were able to worship online thanks to YouTube sermons and this was supplemented by regular emails from our Minister, Louis Reddick and from our Discipleship Facilitator, Douglas Robertson.

​

We re-opened for Sunday worship on 28th March 2021, Palm Sunday.  We met then with restrictions in place such as face covers, one way system and limited to only 30 and sometimes 50 people in attendance! 

 

Services are back on now every Sunday morning (see Services page) with no restrictions remaining; the use of hand sanitiser being offered to all visitors.

​

Most midweek activities restarted in Autumn 2021, although these were again halted for a period of time due to the omicron varient rise in Dec'21.  See the Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Boys' Brigade pages for more info.   Please also see our Facebook page for recent news.

MESSAGE FROM OUR MINISTER - DECEMBER 2022

​

Dear Friends,

The time for Christmas carols is fast approaching. I’m looking forward to the chance to sing my favourite, Charles Wesley’s glorious “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”, once again.

But there is another carol about the song of the angels that always touches my heart because of its honesty about the challenges we can still face even 2000 years after the coming of Jesus – “It came upon the midnight clear”. And this Christmas, increasing numbers of us may feel we can relate to the third verse:

And those whose journey now is hard,
whose hope is burning low,
who tread the rocky path of life
with painful steps and slow

But if that is where we find ourselves, let’s take heed of the second part of that verse:

O listen to the news of love
which makes the heavens ring!
O rest beside the weary road
and hear the angels sing!

So let’s keep listening to that news of love, with every Christmas card we read, every service we attend, and every carol we hear. If we can allow this wonderful news of our Saviour’s birth to ring in our hearts as well as in heaven, then we will soon find our hope burning bright once more as we look towards the future.

May you know hope, love, peace and joy this Christmas,

Louis
