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 again revisit one of the videos that was released for younger viewers….. Series 2 with the Cheeky Pandas – Spider Madness – a story with the theme of HELP.
Communion Sunday at LK

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from the Living God.

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.

For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

Naming others before Him
As the month ends
Happy are those who have the God of Jacob to help them
and who depend on the LORD their God,
