If you'd like to join us (even just for a specific book) or would like to know more, 
speak to Cathy Twomey or Kate Melling.
 

ECO TIP OF THE WEEK

​It's harvest, when we celebrate God's bounteous gifts.  
But are we using them wisely? 
Go through your fridge and kitchen cupboards this week and use up any produce which 
are near its use-by date, to avoid throwing it out later.  And try to make this a habit.

If anyone has any eco-tips that they would like to share, please give them to
John or Ann Boardman or email: jandab@hotmail.co.uk

TEAMS 4U SHOEBOXES
It will be soon time to hand in our shoe boxes for the 2025 Teams4U campaign.
I am still making shoe boxes until Sunday 16th November, when we collect them in to go off to children in need of receiving one.
If you would like to see inside my pre made boxes please ask myself on a Sunday morning or Denise Langridge on a Saturday morning and we would happily show you what is inside them. 
If you are able to donate £5 towards the cost of a shoe box then it will help me to continue making more.
Many thanks for your continued help.
Sue Burton

​

CARE 'TOYS FOR JOY' CHRISTMAS APPEAL
Each December, Toys for Joy brings together local people, schools, churches, and businesses to collect and distribute brand-new toys and festive treats for children across North East Lincolnshire who might otherwise go without.
Last Christmas, with the help of our partners and supporters, we provided gifts for 
1,036 children.  This year, we hope to reach even more families who are struggling.
We're collecting brand-new, unwrapped toys for children aged 0 –18 years old.  
Every donation helps make sure each child receives something age-appropriate and thoughtful.
You can drop toys off until Friday 5th December 2025 at:
CARE Office – 18 Hainton Avenue, Grimsby
CARE Cleethorpes Shop – 46–47 Alexandra Road, Cleethorpes
We welcome toys, games, books, art sets, sensory items, and festive treats.  Please avoid second-hand or used items – every child deserves something new at Christmas.
Or perhaps you might like to send a monetary gift to one of the above addresses?
Thank you.

​

SECRET PRAYER FRIENDS
As part of our desire to increase the prayer life of the church, we are introducing 
Secret Prayer Friends and would love as many people as possible to join in.  
Everybody who wishes to join in will be given the name of somebody to pray for secretly throughout the year and to send a birthday and Christmas card with words of encouragement. They may wish to send cards and encouraging words at other times of 
the year too. 
Everybody who takes part will have somebody to pray for and somebody who will pray 
for them.
If you wish to take part, please let Kate Melling have your name, birthday and (if you attend church irregularly and would like your cards posting), your address.  
Please do this by WhatsApp, e-mail or face to face if you need to (please make sure I write your details down).
You will be given the name and birthday of the person you are committing to pray for.
There will be a Secret Prayer Friend box at the back of church for you to leave cards for your secret prayer friend.
I would like this to be up and running by Sunday 30th November, so the last date to get your name to me will be Sunday 23rd November.
If you need any more details, please ask me or Richard.
Kate Melling: Email: katemelling@yahoo.com or Tel: 07908938994.

OUR STORY, OUR SONG

Our Story, Our Song – a message from Rev Angy Long, 
Chair of Lincolnshire District.
Some of you may recognise this as the theme of the President and Vice-President 
this year.

This is an invitation for individuals and groups in our churches in Lincolnshire Methodist District to create something artistic in response to the theme of 'Our Story, Our Song'. 
It could be a painting, a piece of needlework, a poem, a song or something else.

Our story, our song: the Methodist church, your Methodist church, 
your community.
My story, my song: something more personal, perhaps a testimony?

We will display, or listen to, the contributions at Synod in March 2026 and send them out 
on loan across the District during the summer. 

Please let Rev Angy Long know if you hope to create something.

Is this something you think you could be involved in either as an individual, or working together with others from within our church community? Could you organise a group of creative people to put something together from us here at Scartho?

​

CHRISTMAS CAROLS IN HOSPITALS
Please come and sing in the foyer of Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, Grimsby 
on Wednesday 17th December, at 10am. 
This is in aid of the Health Tree Foundation.  This is a charity which responds to the needs 
of the hospital. Christmas dress optional! 
Any questions please contact me.  Tel: 07969828348.
God bless.  John Boardman.

​

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.
