Thy Kingdom Come #Praise

As part of our rhythm of daily and weekly prayer and devotion as a Church, we are revisiting the themes of the recent Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture on a Saturday morning.

We are called to pause and pray with praise..
For who the LORD God is
For what He has done in and through Christ Jesus
For the blessings He has given in this past week
For the handiwork of His Creation

We are also encouraged today to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be evidenced anew in our day. We are invited to pray for up to 5 people – family, friend, neighbour, colleague – to meet with Jesus.
