Thy Kingdom Come #toJesus

As a Church family we have been revisiting the 11 themes of the Thy Kingdom Come Prayer venture each Saturday morning.

This venture runs for the 11 days leading up to Pentecost and this year will be 21-31 May.

This morning we are encouraged to pause and pray for 5 people we know – in our family, neighbourhood, work, social events – to meet with Jesus and to have Kingdom change in their lives…..even in these uncertain times.

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
In their lives
We ask
In Jesus’ name
Amen.
