Thy Kingdom Come #Offer

In our land and across our world during the 10 days before Pentecost earlier this year believers and followers of Jesus were invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This was a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm we are revisiting the 11 posts on our website and social media pages – each Saturday morning at 8am.

Today we are invited to pause in God’s presence – and bring Him our prayers – offering ourselves and our Church for His Kingdom purposes

Please take a few minutes to pray your prayers this morning.
Offer yourself – body, mind and spirit – and bank balance and possessions – time and talents.

O LORD our God
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
In Jesus’ name, Amen and Amen!
