Thy Kingdom Come: Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer between Ascension Day (14th May) and Pentecost (24th May).

Every person, household and church are encouraged to pray during the 11 days in their own way.

It is our hope & 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 5 people who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call.

Whether you have joined in ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ before or not, we invite you to take part & join in.

There are some prayer resources online Thy Kingdom Come | Thy Kingdom Come and some hard copies are available in church.

‘Green Pastures’ Dementia Friendly Service: The next service will be on Tuesday 2nd June from 2pm-3pm. This is a short service of music, prayers and reflection, with tea & coffee afterwards.
