Thy Kingdom Come #silence

Each Saturday morning we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the days leading up to Pentecost in the last two years….it was a call for the Church to seek and experience God’s Kingdom rule in our lives and churches and communities and land and across our world.

Today we pause to pray….in silence

Take time and space in a place where you can be still with the LORD our God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

To listen
To talk
To hear
