Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As part of God’s Church we participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come earlier this year. This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost….many months ago now!

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of PRAY FOR as we pause to pray with others.

We are encouraged to take time to bring our prayers for others to the LORD our God

For family

For friends

For neighbours

For colleagues

For those in need known to us.

Have mercy we call out
In Jesus’ name….Amen

A Call to Saturday Evening Prayer

As part of the Kirk’s rhythm of prayer and devotion we invite people to pause and pray each day.

We offer a Daily Devotions Bible reading each morning and a focus for midday prayer.

At this time in your Saturday you are invited to pause and pray as the day closes and as you step into Sunday with others

You may wish to revisit MATTHEW 28.16-20 and consider what Jesus said here.
You may need to name others before Father God.
You may want to be still with God as you look back on your day.

A Time to Pray with Others

At this time in your Saturday and in these changing times you are invited to pause and pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.

You are encouraged to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus

For family and friends

For children and young people in our city at this time

For NHS and Care Home staff in our city

For our country and our national leaders at this time
