Tuesday – UPPER ROOM day – Tuesday

Tuesday will be UPPER Room day once again.

A day with an opportunity for time-out with God in the space above the Kirkgate Café.

The Room will be open 7.30am-7.30pm….with a variety of aids and resources available…….with sofas, chairs and cushions freely ready!

There are optional times of prayer together at 7.30am, 12 noon and 7pm.
It would be good if you can meet with others briefly at any of these times.
Or if not, why not try and pray where you are at those times?

The café is open below 9.30am-2pm.

** Will you make use of this opportunity – a time of quietness and praying – listening and asking?

#ThyKingdomCome

As part of the follow-up to the recent Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture, today we pause as God’s people and prayerfully consider the theme again of #ThyKingdomCome

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God , Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and pray with Him, asking for His Kingdom to come in the lives of those known to you, or circumstances around you, or in this world of ours.

Acknowledge God’s Presence as the LORD God Almighty – and worship His majesty!
Speak before Him those known to you, the circumstances that concern you, the needs and news in the world at this time.
Acknowledge God’s Presence with you as your day moves on.
Our God reigns!

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done.
Amen we pray together.
