#Silence ThyKingdomCome

In our land and across our world during the 10 days in May leading to Pentecost 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 re-visiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and to be still – listening.

Please take a few minutes with God – when you are able now or during the day – to be still in a time of silence.

Listen.

Expect.

Receive.
