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

SUMMER 2025

​

Dear Friends,

On Sunday 8th June 2025, the church celebrated Pentecost – the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the early church as described in chapter 2 of Acts.  The Holy Spirit certainly arrived in dramatic fashion with the noise of a rushing wind, tongues of fire and giving the disciples the miraculous ability to speak other languages to the foreign visitors who were in Jerusalem at that time.  Peter, the same disciple who had denied knowing Jesus 7 weeks earlier, stood up in front of a huge crowd, preached an amazing sermon and 3,000 people responded and were baptised.

Although we may not (yet?) be seeing such spectacular outpourings of the Holy Spirit in 21st century Britain, the Spirit certainly seems to be on the move across our land at the moment.  A recent report from the Bible Society of England and Wales (‘The Quiet Revival’) highlighted a dramatic increase in the numbers of young people attending church regularly, reversing decades of decline.  At Shettleston New, we too have seen something of a turnaround this year – we have already welcomed 9 new members and had the joy of 2 adult baptisms, with more likely in the near future – praise the Lord!

So let’s go into the second half of the year filled with hope and ready to respond to the Spirit’s leading, welcoming all those that the Lord brings our way.

Wishing you every blessing for the summer,

Louis
