Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) - Ascension Day to Pentecost – Will you join in?

Since it began in May 2016, God has grown TKC from a dream of possibility into a movement that unites more than a million Christians in prayer in nearly 90% of countries worldwide, across 85 different denominations and traditions, so that friends and family, neighbours and colleagues might come to faith in Jesus Christ.

It is our hope and prayer, that those who have not yet heard the Good News of Jesus Christ and His love for the world, will hear it for themselves and respond and follow Him. Specifically, we again invite each and every Christian across the globe to pray that God’s Spirit might work in the lives of five people who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call.

This is something we can all do and at Holy Trinity and St Michael’s we have again ordered booklets to help us in this essential task. Please collect one in Church and read it during the period from Ascension Day -Thursday 14th May for 11 days until Pentecost on Sunday 24th May. The booklet is introduced by our new Archbishop Sarah Mullally and I hope it will be encouraging. We have prayed now for 2 years for God to grow our church let us continue and during these 11 days at least concentrate on our 5 people. This may be a very ongoing discipline for you and the knack is never to give up!

I also hope as many of you as possible will join me at St Peter’s Formby for the joint service for Ascension Day on 14th May at 7.30pm. Lifts can be arranged if needed.

Trinity Sunday -31st May 2026
Last year we had a joint service for the whole Benefice – Holy Trinity and St Michael’s to worship together. Many of you said you had enjoyed the opportunity and so I am planning for us to repeat it this year. This means there will be no service at St Michael’s that morning and only one service at Holy Trinity beginning at 10.30am. We will have cake and refreshment afterwards and a chat to chat with each other. Archdeacon Pete has agreed to come and preach so it will be interesting to hear what he has to say about The Trinity. Please make come along and make this a day of celebration and fellowship.
Thank you for continued support, 

Julie.
