Thy Kingdom Come

As a Church we took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many weeks and months ago now!

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.

This week we focus on the theme of THY KINGDOM COME as we pause to pray with others.

We pray to our God who reigns over all.

We pray to experience a fresh Pentecost in our lives.

We pray for others known to us.

We pray for the Church.

We pray for Scotland.

We pray for the United Kingdom.

We pray for the world.

We pray for the Kingdom of God to be evidenced on earth as it is in heaven.

In Jesus’ name….Amen and Amen!
