Thought of the Week

A song from the past sang by Roy Orbison was "Only the lonely" and many other songs of loneliness have been written.

Loneliness is an age-old problem through the generations, sometimes by choice, others suffering a loss, rejection, hurt, mental health issues or illness. 

There are some things we may not like to talk about but talking helps us put things into perspective and realize we are not on our own. 

Although, some may like some time on their own, it is good to be interacting with others, there is a saying “ that no man (or woman) is an island” if not, how can we begin to understand other people or how they are coping with life and it ups and downs. We can encourage and learn from one another’s experiences, and ways of coping.

There are a lot of support groups to help with loneliness some lead by Government, local councils, charities and religious groups.

We at Scartho Methodist Church have Indoor bowls, A Friendship group, Warm Space tea and coffee afternoon, Toddlers group and Saturday Morning Tea and coffee and all are welcome to come and join, the details are on our website. 

This the way we as a Christian family are able to help in our community's
