As part of our rhythm of daily and weekly prayer and devotion as a Church, we are revisiting the 11 themes of the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture earlier this year on a Saturday morning.
We are invited today to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be evidenced anew in our day.
We are encouraged to pray for up to 5 people – family, friend, neighbour, colleague – to meet with Jesus.

Look Upward and Pray to hear and receive from God, the Holy Spirit
