A sk
for His help – for yourself and for a situation/person known to you at this time

Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

This prayer continues around the world!

Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the youth videos.
This week it is OFFER – as we are encouraged to bring all that we are and all that we have in an offering to God’s Kingdom ways
