Thy Kingdom Come

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost…..and this year it will happen May 13th-23rd.
You are invited to be a part of this.
You are encouraged to plan ahead in preparation.
More information will soon be shared from the Prayer Team.

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives. Who is on your list?

This week as we pause to pray with others we are asking God to comfort Her Majesty the Queen and the Royal Family.

Ask God to be with them at the funeral of Prince Philip this afternoon…..with His peace and comfort and strength and hope.

Ask God to give the Archbishop of Canterbury the right words to speak and that he might be used to let the Risen Jesus shine forth.
