Thy Kingdom Come #Prayfor

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost earlier this year believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers for others – for them to experience God’s Kingdom blessings!

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers for others this morning.
Lift before Him those known to you at this time.
Lay before Him those in need in our church family.
Pray for refugees and others from overseas in our city, in our community.

O LORD our God
Hear our prayers
And have mercy we ask.
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen!
