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

SUN 8th JUNE

Please pray about the continuing problem with retail firms' IT systems being attacked.  Recently another 2 have reported attacks, these being North Face and the luxury jewellers Cartier.  These firms have said customers' details were stolen but not their financial details.  Pray for all the retailers affected that they will be able to get back into full operation as soon as possible.  Also pray for the authorities that are investigating these attacks that they will be able to find out who is doing it and stop further attacks.

 

Please pray for peace and calm in South Korea now a new president has taken up his post.  The election came about after riots and attempts to enforce martial law in the country.

 

Please pray about the water supply firms in this country, some of whom are struggling to survive and others failing to deal with things like sewage leakages.  Especially pray for Thames Water which could now slip into very messy administration under government control after an American equity firm has pulled out of a rescue deal.

 

Please pray about the village Blatten in Switzerland, part of which has been flattened by part of a glacier that has broken away.  The village was evacuated some days before but one person is still missing.  Please pray for everyone who has had their lives upset.

 

Please pray about the continuing problem with shortages of some vital drugs.  This is not just affecting our country but many other countries as well.  Pray that production will keep up with the need.

 

Please pray about a recent crush outside a cricket ground in India during a celebration of the local club winning the Indian Premier League.  About 10 people were killed and others injured.  Pray that the injured will make a complete recovery and for those that have lost loved ones in this tragic event.

 

Please pray for our preachers who are preaching next Sunday.

Pray for the preparation as well as the service.

Please pray for the church in Pakistan.  It is number 8 on the Open Doors at risk list.  Pakistan's notorious blasphemy laws are often used to target minority groups, but Christians are disproportionately affected.  Indeed, roughly a quarter of all blasphemy accusations target Christians, who make up just 1.8 per cent of the population.  Blasphemy laws carry a death sentence.  While this is seldom carried out, people accused of blasphemy are vulnerable to attack or murder by mobs.  In June 2024, an elderly man was killed by mob violence after being accused of desecrating the Quran.  The 2023 attack on Christian homes and buildings in Jaranwala continues to contribute to a climate of fear.  Historical churches have relative freedom for worship and other activities.  However, they are heavily monitored and have been targeted for bomb attacks.

The number of Christian girls (and those from other minority religions) abducted, abused and forcefully converted to Islam (frequently backed by lower courts) is growing.  And churches that engage in outreach are particularly prone to opposition.  All Christians suffer institutionalised discrimination.  Occupations that are deemed low, dirty and degrading – such as cleaning sewers or working in brick kilns – are reserved for Christians by the authorities.  Many are referred to as 'chura', a derogatory term meaning 'filthy'.  Christians are also vulnerable to being trapped in bonded labour.
