Thy Kingdom Come #help

Each Saturday morning we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the days leading up to Pentecost….it was a call for the Church to seek and experience God’s Kingdom rule in our lives and churches and communities and land and across our world.

Today we pause to pray….asking for Help.

Ask
Seek
Knock

Expect

In Jesus’ name
Amen we say together.
