As a Church we were part of the global prayer venture – Thy Kingdom Come.
This prayer continues around the world!
Each Sunday at Midday we are re-visiting one of the 11 daily themes….and this time we revisit the sixth theme of PRAY FORas we pause with God and watch and listen to a short reflection….
