Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As a Church we recently took part in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come.
This ran during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost.

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 name before God those we have been praying for to meet with Jesus and to experience Kingdom life and blessing.

We name before Father God those we know in need at this time.

We pray for our national leaders…our Church leaders…in these days.

We pray for our world…..have mercy O God we call out!

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
