Thy Kingdom Come at Midday

As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture earlier this year – 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 PRAY FOR – as we pause to offer our prayers for others in need known to us – and for our world at this time. ‘Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’ O LORD our God!
