Pray for Big Alpha Launch Event

This evening…. 7-9pm

Quiz hosted by Kenny

Nick Blair guest speaker

For all attending

“I am praying not only for these disciples but also for all who will ever believe in me through their message. I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. “I have given them the glory you gave me, so they may be one as we are one. I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me. Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am. Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began! “O righteous Father, the world doesn’t know you, but I do; and these disciples know you sent me. I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them.”

ThyKingdomCome #Offer

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the 11 themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – ourselves – and all we are and have
For His Kingdom purposes
For His royal will to be accomplished

O LORD
LORD God
As a response to your amazing grace and loving-kindnesses

I offer
myself
body
mind
and spirit

I offer
my skills
and monies
and possessions

I offer
my time
now
today
tomorrow

To You
so that
Your Kingdom come
Your will is done

In Jesus’ name
Amen!
