#thykingdomcome #silence

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 #silence

 

Take a few minutes now – or when you are practically able -with God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit- and be still with Him.

Find a place to wait in His presence.

Find a time to listen for His voice.
