Thy Kingdom Come #PrayFor

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 on a Saturday morning at 9.05am.

We are called today to take the time and pause and pray….for others
those known to us in need
those in our family
those who live in our street
those in our church family
those who made the news headlines this past week

We are also encouraged 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.
