Thy Kingdom Come #Adore

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last year around the world…and in preparation for May this year… we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #Adore

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able this weekend – with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit – and spend time in prayer with Him – bringing Him your prayers of adoration – telling Him how much you love Him as you pour out your worship.

O come let us adore Him!

In Jesus’ name,
Amen
