TUESDAY upper room TUESDAY

Perhaps you already make use of this opportunity for time out each week?
Maybe you don’t.

Perhaps you used to make use of this place with space?
Maybe you don’t now.

Why not make this part of your weekly routine as you step further into 2019?
If you are unable to attend due to work or family commitments – why not find a place with space and join with others in pausing to listen and pray with God.

The room above the Café becomes an Upper Room each Tuesday

You are encouraged to make this opportunity to pause and pray with God an active part of church life and work

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.
