As a church family at Liberton Kirk we have been revisiting the 11 themes from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier in the year. We are pausing to do so together on a Saturday morning.
Today we are invited to pause and pray with praise!
Praise my soul the King of Heaven!
Praise Him! Praise Him!
Praise the name of Jesus!
