Thy Kingdom Come #adore

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many 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 ADORE as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to take time to bring our words or adoration to the LORD our God on this first Saturday of a new year

Give Him your sacrifice of praise!

O worship the King, all glorious above!

O come let us adore Him – Christ the Lord!
