As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture earlier this year – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we have been re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit one of the videos that was released for younger viewers….. Series 2 with the Cheeky Pandas – The Broken Song Machine – a story about OFFERING ourselves to serve God.
* Harvest Thanksgiving *
