Thy Kingdom Come #Jesus

As a Church we took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost.

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of JESUS as we pause to pray with others.

We are invited to spend time with the LORD our God….asking for others to meet with Jesus….

Name those known to you….in your family…..street…..office…..sports club…..

O Lord
Hear our prayers
And give saving grace
We ask
In Jesus’ name
Amen
