Thy Kingdom Come #help

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….many weeks and months ago now!

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 HELP as we pause to pray with others.

We are invited to spend time with the LORD our Father God….bringing our requests for His Help

In these days our prayer list for those we love, those we are concerned about, those in our community and city and nation and world will probably be a lengthy one.

Take time out with God

Name others before Him

Ask
Seek
Knock

Pray for others in need known to you

Ask God’s help to live and speak forJesus in these days
