Thy Kingdom Come: 13-23 May
Running for the 10 days between Ascension and Pentecost, Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer initiative to help us pray for people to come to know Jesus. For more information see thykingdomcome.global, or watch Emily's video all about this years events below:
This year we are praying daily for 5 people to come to faith and also for those who have struggled or felt lost during Covid.
We will be kicking off with 24 Hour Prayer during the first weekend - an unbroken chain of 24 hours of prayer running from 6pm on Friday 14th May to 6pm on Saturday 15th May. During this time we will be praying in our own homes for hour slots and then calling the next person in the list to pass on the baton of prayer. Praying together, but separately like this can help unify us as a church community.
Click this 24Hr Prayer signup link and start thinking now about making time to pray, and ask God how much time He would like to spend with you during 24Hour Prayer, it can often provoke a great response. God wants to talk!
Check out the prayer resources below including brilliant video clips by people at LCC from a previous Prayer relay.
Prayer Ministry appointments will be available from 10am-12noon Saturday 15th May with a Ministry team based at LCC. Appointments can be in person, by phone or zoom. Click the following link to book your preferred time (2 appointments per half hour slot): https://www.24-7prayer.com/signup/7a10b2
