Thy Kingdom Come

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the 11 themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to take time out with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and to pray for His Kingdom to come, His will to be done

in our lives
in our church
in our community
in our city
in our land
in our world

as it is in heaven

Take the time now – or when you have the opportunity – to spend with God in His presence…asking, seeking, waiting, expecting….
