A Call to Saturday Evening Prayer

You are invited at this time in your day to pause and pray as a new month has begun

You may want to be still in God’s refreshing presence before you step into Sunday

You may need to name others before Father God

You may find it helpful to read the words from today’s Daily Devotions – 1 Samuel 8

Thy Kingdom Come 2021

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost…..and this year it will happen May 13th-23rd.

You are invited to be a part of this.
You are encouraged to plan ahead in preparation.
Look out for more information from the Prayer Team.

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. Who is on your list?

This week as we pause to pray with others we are asking God to prepare us…as individuals, as a Church, as a nation, in our world… to experience afresh God’s Kingdom rule…to evidence the Kingdom of God at work.

Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on me, on us
Break me
Melt me
Mould me
Fill me
Use me
Spirit of the Living God
Fall afresh on us
