Thy Kingdom Come #celebrate

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost 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 and will be repeated in 2019.

As part of our church devotional rhythm there are 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers and songs of celebration – for who He is and for all He has done for us and given in Christ Jesus!

Please take a few minutes to celebrate God’s goodness and grace to you this morning.
Celebrate a gift He has recently given to you!
Pray that when we gather together tomorrow evening on Palm Sunday with the Big Idea group of churches we will experience and evidence His kingdom blessings!

O Father God
Thank You
Thank You
Thank You!
In Jesus’ name
Amen!em>
