Thy Kingdom Come #silence

As part of our rhythm of daily and weekly prayer and devotion as a Church, we are revisiting the themes of the recent Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture around Pentecost on a Saturday morning at 9.05am.

We are called today to take the time to pause and pray….in silence

Find somewhere to be quiet
with Father God

Ask
Seek
Knock
Listen
Hear
strong>

Be still and know that he is God

We are also reminded today to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be evidenced anew in our day. We are invited to pray for up to 5 people – family, friend, neighbour, colleague – to meet with Jesus.
