Thy Kingdom Come #sorry
As a Church family we have been revisiting the 11 themes of the Thy Kingdom Come Prayer venture each Saturday morning.
This venture runs for the 11 days leading up to Pentecost and this year will be 21-31 May.
We will be continuing this through Saturdays in May at 12 noon and daily in the period 21st-31st.
Today we are encouraged to pause and pray – with words of confession.
Most merciful God,
we confess to you,
before the whole company of heaven and one another,
that we have sinned in thought, word and deed
and in what we have failed to do.
Forgive us our sins,
heal us by your Spirit
and raise us to new life in Christ.
Amen.
