Thy Kingdom Come

Each Saturday morning at 8am we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury and others for the 11 days leading up to Pentecost during the last two years….it was a call for the Church to seek and experience God’s Kingdom rule in our lives and churches and communities and land and across our world….and will be repeated in 2019.

Today we pause to pray in expectation….

Take time and space in a place where you can pause to pray with the LORD our God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth

In my life
In my street
In my family
In my Church family
In my city
In my nation
As it is in Heaven
