Live Stream 10.30am Sunday 24th May – Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done
This week we are going to be looking at the Lord’s Prayer, and also praying for God’s blessing upon our homes, our communities and upon the whole of Creation.
We are engaging in this as part of the Archbishop’s initiative called, “Thy Kingdom Come.” ALL YOU WILL NEED for our Sunday “Live Stream” service, apart from yourselves, is a willingness to look again at the Lord’s Prayer and Prayer in general.
Afterwards, why not join us for a ‘virtual’ Coffee and a catch up? We shared the first of these on Ascension Day, and it was lovely to see people, int heir own homes and across the communities.
So look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Matt.
