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 Halliday-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!   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. 

 

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.

MESSAGE FROM OUR MINISTER

AUTUMN 2025

​

Dear Friends
I’m just back from spending a weekend away with our Young Adults Group. It was a brilliant weekend, and a real privilege to watch the group members growing in faith and fellowship - and having a lot of fun along the way! One of the activities that we did was to share some of our favourite Bible verses and talk about why they were important to us. It was very uplifting to hear how the Lord has been encouraging our young people through His Word.

One of my favourite passages is Isaiah 40:28-31. In fact, I love the way the whole chapter makes clear what an awesome and amazing God we serve. But the final few verses of the chapter give me cause for hope even when life is difficult:
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:28–31)

So, that’s me. But what about you? Is there a Bible verse/passage that is particularly meaningful for you? Why not take a little bit of time to consider what it might be? Better still, take the time to share your verse with someone else and tell them why it is important to you. It’s a great way to encourage one another!

Wishing you every blessing for the autumn,

 

Louis
