From Rev. Katie Jackson:
Ascension Day 9th May – Pentecost 19th May
Thy Kingdom Come, which runs between Ascension Day and Pentecost, is a global, ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians from around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. Across our benefice we are joining this movement of prayer this year. The main focus for Thy Kingdom Come is something called ‘praying for 5’; where we are each invited to think of 5 people who we would like to come to know Jesus or experience his touch afresh, and then commit to praying for them every day for the duration of the 11 days. To help us do this, at each of our churches there will be interactive prayer stations for us to use and enjoy so please do come and make use of the prayer stations that will be available in all 4 churches.
