Thy Kingdom Come #adore

Each Saturday morning we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the days leading up to Pentecost in the last two years….it was a call for the Church to seek and experience God’s Kingdom rule in our lives and churches and communities and land and across our world.

Today we pause to pray….and Adore Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him above all else
O come let us adore Him above all others

Praise my soul the King of Heaven!

In Jesus’ name
Amen we say together.
