Thy Kingdom Come #celebrate

Each Saturday morning we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the days leading up to Pentecost in 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.

Today we pause to pray….and celebrate!

For who God is!
For His good gifts during this past week!

Count your many blessings
Name them one by one
And it will surprise you
What the LORD has done!

In Jesus’ name
Amen we say together.
