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 each day on our Daily Devotions and Daily Reflections posts.
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.
We are invited to pause and pray for our nation after the national election….that the Kingdom of God may be evidenced in our land and His Kingdom will is done in our Government, our Church, our lives.
