Thy Kingdom Come #Adore

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost in 2017 and 2018 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 daily 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 adoration – for who He is and for all He has done for us and given in Christ Jesus!

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers of adoration this morning.

O Come let us adore Him!em>
