WEDDING INVITATION
Babs and Colin would like to invite everyone to share in the joy of their marriage
at Scartho Methodist Church on Saturday 18th July, at 2pm.
They also want to invite you to an Informal Buffet afterwards.
In order that they can estimate numbers for food preparation, they would be grateful if those wishing to join them
at the buffet, would put their names and the number of people coming on the form in the Front Hall
by Thursday 18th June please.
Please note that they do not need wedding presents, but they would be delighted with our presence.
LOCAL PREACHER RECOGNITION SERVICE
On Tuesday 23rd June, at 7pm there will be a special service to celebrate Inga completing her studies and being
recognised as a trained Local Preacher. There is a lot of work involved in studying to be a Local Preacher,
and a lot of work to come in preparing and leading services.
It would be great if we as a congregation could support Inga at this celebration service, as she is recognised
for her work and is formally commissioned as a Local Preacher.
MEN'S FELLOWSHIP
The next Men's Fellowship will be on Monday 15th June, at 7.30pm.
It will be held in the Front Hall.
GOOD NEWS – RECYCLING!
Clean silver foil, toothpaste tubes and Tetra-pak cartons can now be put in our grey bins!
So, instead of bringing foil to church, please put it in your own grey bin,
along with clean plastic milk containers and tins etc.
BIBLE MONTH
As in previous years, during the last three weeks in June and the first week in July, we will be joining in
with Bible Month alongside the rest of the Circuit. This year we will be studying the book of Philippians.
Each Sunday during Bible Month, our preachers will be preaching on themes taken from Philippians.
Our Housegroups will also be following the same themes so if you are not already in a group, this is a good time
to try one out. Material is also available on the website for you to use at home in your personal Bible Studies
including study notes and a Bible journaling kit – over the next few weeks. If you are unable to access the
Bible Month website there will be some copies available at church should you want one.
For resources or more information about Bible Month, please visit the website at:
https://www.methodist.org.uk/faith/the-bible/bible-month/
Any questions you may have about Bible Month at Scartho,
please see one of the Leadership Team or Housegroup leaders.
SUMMER STAY AND PLAY
We are hoping to run our Stay and Play again this summer and need your help!
It will be every Tuesday in August (4th/11th/18th & 25th) from 2 – 4pm.
It will include setting up and clearing away.
We need as many helpers as possible to help run the activities, chat to parents, children, grandparents and carers,
to serve drinks, play games inside and outside, run crafts, sit on the door etc.
We also need people to help us set up and pack away.
You don't need to bring your own activity but if you want to, and it is suitable, you're very welcome to do so.
This is one of our main outreach events of the year, and we have already had a lot of enquiries from
local families about when it will be taking place. However, we can only run this if we have enough support each week.
As such, if you are able to help, even if only for one week, please can you let Andrew know which dates you are
able to commit to as soon as possible.
Thank you.
MEMORY LANE CHOIR
The Memory Lane Choir will be joining us for an afternoon of entertainment
on Wednesday 24th June, at 2pm.
Refreshments will be served.
If anyone can contribute by buying or baking a cake for this event, it would be truly appreciated.
Thank you.
AFTERNOON TEA
There will be a delightful Cream Team, at Keelby Methodist Church, DN41 8HX
on Saturday 20th June, from 1 – 3pm.
There will be entertainment from the Keelby's Ukulele's throughout the afternoon.
Cost: £5.
SERVICE
Just to let you know that I will be going to Old Norse Lodge Care Home, Scartho Top,
to take a service on Monday 22nd June, at 2.30pm.
If anyone would like to join me they will be very welcome.
Susan.
PRAYER
A reminder, that if you would like to pray with someone, or just chat through what you've
just heard or any other issues, please stay behind at the end of the service and ask a
door steward or somebody you have seen involved in leading the worship.
We have people who are willing to pray, talk or just listen if required.
