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

15th February 2025

Please pray for the Anglican church as they consider how to deal fairly with historic cases of abuse.

 

Please continue to pray about the war in Ukraine.  Pray that peace will come soon that is fair to everyone.

Pray that whatever happens will not make Russians think that they can do something similar to other countries.

 

Please continue to pray about the future of steel production in Scunthorpe.  Pray that the decisions made will reduce pollution and support their skilled workforce.

 

Please pray about the recent fire in a 50 storey block of flats in Buenos Aires the Argentine capital.  Thank God that no one was seriously injured and pray the cause will soon be found.  Pray for all those people whose homes have been damaged.

 

Please pray about all those affected by the outbreak of bird flu in this country which is affecting local people. 1.8 million birds have so far been culled in this country to stop the spread of the virus.

 

Please pray about the future of Gaza.  Firstly that the peace will continue and secondly about the reconstruction of people's homes.  Also pray that aid will get to those that really need it.

 

Recently in Sudan there has been an attack on an internal refugee camp, the market and some homes have been burnt, there has been some looting and the people have been fired upon.  Pray for the safety of the people and that these attacks will stop.

 

Please pray for the poor in this world who are being badly affected by the American decision to stop international aid.

 

Please pray for Susan Chambers who is preaching at The Haven next Sunday.

Pray for the preparation as well as the service.

 

Please pray for the church in Mauritania, in north western Africa, number 23 on the Open Doors at risk list.

 In this Muslim country changing religion is legally punishable by death.  There are no known cases of this in recent years – but the threat remains.  While visiting or migrant Christians from Western countries are largely left alone, evangelism is strictly forbidden and can lead to prosecution.  Most Christians in Mauritania are from sub-Saharan Africa and they can face discrimination in employment, because of both racial and faith-based discrimination.  Since Mauritania is staunchly Islamic, Christian activities are severely restricted, making it difficult for Christians to express their faith; for converts, it's almost impossible.  Christianity is viewed as a negative Western influence, and it means that Christian converts face severe hostility both from the authorities and from their families. The presence of Islamist extremist groups also constitutes a threat to those who leave Islam.

 

Please pray for the Church in Afghanistan.  The re-conquest of Afghanistan by the Taliban in 2021 came as a shock to many.  These events led to the suspension of humanitarian aid to the needy people of Afghanistan, the reintroduction of much harsher Islamic laws, the flight of 1.6 million Afghans from Taliban rule, the intensified persecution (and even manhunt) of Christians, and the emboldening of Islamist movements elsewhere against what they perceive as a weak and failing Western world.  Gripping poverty and hunger, and the increasing attacks of the Islamic State against the Taliban also intensify the suffering.  There is so much to pray for; above all, pray that God preserve the lives of Afghans so that they might hear the good news of Jesus.  The status of women deserves special prayer.  Virtually all progress made from 2001 – 2021 has been undone by the Taliban since September 2021.  Women are once again all but banned from participating in public life.  Numerous women die in childbirth in Afghanistan because many cannot receive healthcare from male doctors.  One-third of women suffer from physical violence.  Special radio programmes share with women from the Bible, about the love and value God holds for them.  Pray for justice and freedom from gender-based oppression, and especially that women might find the true freedom that comes only through Christ.
