Since it began in May 2016, God has grown TKC from a dream of possibility into a movement which 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.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.“In praying 'Thy Kingdom Come' we all commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities." Archbishop Justin WelbyThe story of Thy Kingdom Come so far! BRAND NEW Animation! - YouTube
We were delighted to welcome St Giles' Reception Class to church, where they did an Easter Trail, told the Easter Story and brought in their Easter Garden.We learned about how old the church is, and why it is outside the village, and we also looked at the font, the altar (or table) and the beautiful old paten and chalice we use for our shared meal. We blessed the Easter garden, which is going to stay in church over the holidays.
The Disasters and Emergency Committee Home | Disasters Emergency Committee (dec.org.uk) as well as many charities, have appeals to help the earthquake victims.We can also pray.Prayer for the Turkey and Syria Earthquake AppealGod of time and space, we cry to you for your children - our neighbours - in southern Turkey and northern Syria, following the earthquake that has devastated hundreds of lives. Only they and you know what it is like to experience such trauma in the middle of the night. We give thanks for the aid that is already being given and for the promises of help that have been made by many nations. Comfort, we pray, those who are trapped in collapsed buildings; those who have lost loved ones; those who wait for news and those digging through rubble to save others. Grant the gift of hope so that those caught between life and death know that you are with them and that others are ready to support them as they seek a future that overshadows the experiences of today. We ask this in the Name of Jesus, who endured so much for love of them. Amen Source: Christian Aid
