Thy Kingdom Come #thanks

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 and songs of Thanks!

Give thanks with a grateful heart!

I will enter his gates with thanksgiving!

Thank God for who He is.
Thank Him for His faithfulness and love in this past week.
Thank Him for the gifts He has given you recently.
Thank Him for sending Jesus.
