Thy Kingdom Come #Offer

In our land and across our world during the next 10 days believers and followers of Jesus are being invited to pause and pray for the Kingdom of God to be experienced and evidenced anew. This is a venture created by God through the Archbishop of Canterbury and others.

As part of our daily devotional rhythm there will be 11 posts on our website and social media pages – 10-20 May at 8am – on the 11 themes brought to us by the Thy Kingdom Come prayer venture leaders.

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!
