Need Help

Many times, we feel that we need a little extra help, maybe a situation we cannot cope with – a bereavement, a time of illness, a stressful situation at work – and the list goes on.

At Scartho Methodist Church we believe that talking and prayer has helped many people and can help you.

We have many opportunities for prayer during our services and people who will pray with you in a smaller group, or one-to-one, following a service. Private prayer is available in our dedicated prayer room. Alternatively, we have prayer meetings each month on the first and third Saturdays at 9am.

Our regular prayer letter, which helps our congregation to pray for local, national and international situations can be found below.

You can request prayer by placing your prayer request in the box near the church gate, or by using the prayer request form at the bottom of the page.

There are also opportunities for you to come and talk, even if it's only about the weather, at our Warm Rooms afternoon or our Saturday Coffee morning.

Warm Rooms

Thursday afternoons, 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Saturday mornings, 10:00am - 11:30am

Please join us for free refreshments, conversation, access to our wifi and heating.

There will always be someone to talk and pray with you, if required, at these times.

Weekly Prayer Letter

Prayer Diary For Week Commencing

3rd and 10 Aug 2025

We thank God for the beauty that surrounds us; simple pleasures like going for a walk with the dog in the park, smelling the scent of roses, watching bees buzz from flower to flower and hearing sparrows twittering in the bushes. As an Eco-church, we pray that we can do more to help with conservation, both locally and globally.

Please pray for the employees of Lindsey Refinery, after the news that it is to be closed. The Government is offering them training guarantees to be able to move over to work in the clean energy sector. Please pray that there will be a good take-up of this offer and that the employees will be able to find work with their new skills.

Please pray for the desperate citizens of Gaza, that the war will stop, that Israel will allow more aid to reach the starving people, especially the weakest; babies, children and the elderly.

Please pray for the continuing talks between US President Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer, that there will be more of an alignment of views about peace in Ukraine and Gaza and improved trade deals.

Please pray for our preachers who are preaching during the next 2 Sundays.

Pray for the preparation as well as the service.

10th August – Susan Chambers taking a Communion service at Tetney,

Chris Norman at Newstone, Kath Melling with us at Scartho and Ivan Stead at The Haven.

17th August – Susan Chambers taking the early Communion service with us at Scartho

and a Communion service at Waltham.

Pray for our local hospital, Diana Princess of Wales, Grimsby. We pray that the disruption of the doctors' strike will be minimised and that those who had their appointments and operations cancelled will be attended to as quickly as possible. We pray especially for those having operations this week, that they will soon feel better and in good health.

We pray that those local chapels which have registered with Eco-church (Tetney, Waltham, Newstone, Keelby and North Thoresby) will proceed to make their applications to attain the Bronze Award.

Please pray for those Ministers who are leaving their current stations and preparing to move during August. May God bless them as they prepare for the new Circuit appointment and please pray too for Ministers who are "sitting down"/retiring and becoming supernumerary. May God bless their retirement and new opportunities in life.
