Thy Kingdom Come #offer

As part of our rhythm of daily and weekly prayer and devotion as a Church, we are revisiting the 11 themes of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year each Saturday morning.

We are invited today to pause and pray – offering ourselves for God’s Kingdom purposes.

Our whole selves
Our time and talents
Our monies and possessions
– even today

We are also encouraged to pray for up to 5 people – family, friend, neighbour, colleague – to meet with Jesus.
