#thykingdomcome #toJesus

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 #toJesus

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and bring Him your weekend prayers for others.
Find a place to pray for others.
Find a time to focus on others.

Oh  God of saving grace
Thank you for sending Jesus
And your plan of salvation
Hear our cry as we name before you
Those we ask come to Jesus
Soon

In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
