ThyKingdomCome #toJesus

Thy Kingdom Come was a prayer venture earlier this year in our land and across our world.

We have been pausing each Saturday morning at 8am to revisit the themes raised by the leaders.

Today we are encouraged to bring to Jesus others known to us
our families
our neighbours
our colleagues at work
our friends and those we spend time with
our local shopkeepers and businesses

May they experience the Kingdom of God in their lives and circumstances – as it is in heaven.

O Lord
Hear our cry
Have mercy
Surprise them
With a blessing
Even today
Amen!
