Thy Kingdom Come #Praise

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost earlier this year believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 themes on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers and songs of praise – for who He is and for all He has done and given!

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers of praise this morning.

O LORD our God
Receive our praises
With songs of thanksgiving
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen!
