Thy Kingdom Come #prayfor

As part of God’s Church we have participated in the global prayer venture of Thy Kingdom Come each year. This runs during the 11 days between Ascension and Pentecost…..and this year it will happen May 13th-23rd.

Each Saturday at 12 noon we are continuing to ask and seek and knock on Heaven’s door…..’Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done’…..and to pray for up to 5 people we know to meet with Jesus and to experience God’s Kingdom reign in their lives.

This week we focus on the theme of PRAY FOR as we pause to pray with others in our nation and across the world.

We are encouraged to pause and take time with the LORD our God on this first Saturday in March 2021.

To Pray For those in need known to us at this time
To Pray For family and friends and neighbours
To Pray For our nation and our world in these times
