Thy Kingdom Come #Praise

As part of the follow-up to the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year across the world, we pause as God’s people this weekend and consider the theme again of #Praise

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and bring Him your weekend praise!
Have a praise party with the angels!

Praise you Father God!
Praise you Lord Jesus!
Praise you Holy Spirit!
Praise You for who You are!

Praise You for all You have done!

Praise you for all You are doing!

In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
