Thy Kingdom Come #Praise

As a Church we recently took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come.

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 PRAISE as we pause to pray.

Praise God – for who He is!

Praise God – for His kingdom blessings to you!
