To know of your mercy and grace.
In Jesus’ saving name, Amen.

Thy Kingdom Come #Help

As part of our rhythm of daily and weekly prayer and devotion as a Church, we are revisiting the themes of the recent Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture on a Saturday morning at 9.05am.

We are called today to take the time and pause and pray….
asking Father God for His help
asking Jesus to help those we name before Him
asking the Holy Spirit to come near those in need of help today

We are also encouraged today to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be evidenced anew in our day. We are invited to pray for up to 5 people – family, friend, neighbour, colleague – to meet with Jesus.
