For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever

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 we focus on the theme of JESUS as we pause to pray with others.
We are encouraged to pause and take time with the LORD our God on this particular Saturday in April 2021.
To cry out for those on our list to meet with Jesus and have a Kingdom-changing-experience.
To ask…..seek…..knock…..wait…..
Thy Kingdom Come O God!
Give saving grace we ask!
