As a church family we have been revisiting the 11 themes from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture last Pentecost on a Saturday morning as we lead up to the 2020 venture before Pentecost this year…..May 21-31.
This morning we are invited to pause in these uncertain times and be still before God…
Take time to focus on Him as your Saturday starts

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from Jesus.
Reading : JOHN 11 verses 1-16

For our world
In these days
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Midday
Pray the Prayer for the Month as your midday prayer
Father,
As we reflect on the promises and prophecies in your Word,
we pray that you will give us wisdom and understanding
to see the relevance of these and apply them in our times.
Thank you that all these promises and prophesies are fulfilled in Christ Jesus,
our High Priest, who ever intercedes for us.
Amen.

Reading : read this passage again
Reflect prayerfully on the words and people involved here ….. and then Pray in response
Especially for others in need of comfort at this time
