Thy Kingdom Come

Each Saturday morning at 8am we are revisiting a theme from the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture… something that was launched by the Archbishop of Canterbury and others for the 11 days leading up to Pentecost during the last two years….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….and will be repeated in 2019.

Today we pause to pray in expectation….

Take time and space in a place where you can pause to pray with the LORD our God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth

In my life
In my street
In my family
In my Church family
In my city
In my nation
As it is in Heaven

Thy Kingdom Come #silence

In our land and across our world during the 10 days in 2017 and 2018 before Pentecost believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew…and to pray for 5 friends and contacts to meet with Jesus. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others and will be repeated in 2019…and wholly encouraged by the Moderator of the Church of Scotland.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there are 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

On this particular Saturday we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and to be still – listening.

Please take a few minutes with God – when you are able now or during the day – to be still in a time of silence.

Listen.
Expect.
Receive.
