As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world as we pray for 5 people we know to meet with Jesus!
Each Sunday at Midday we will re-visit one of the 11 daily themes.
This week it is PRAISE – as we pause to sing our songs of praise to the King of kings!

Use verses 6 and 9 as you turn to pray
O LORD our God,
Good and majestic One,
Loving and Merciful,

For of ourselves we get it so wrong
Today and every day!
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Midday

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen
