Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.
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.
Every person, household and church is encouraged to pray during the 11 days in their own way.
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.
Whether you have joined in with Thy Kingdom Come before or not, we invite you to take part from 29 May - 8 June 2025.
There will be no live stream service today. Do join us in Sapperton for our Holy Communion with Bishop Robert, if you are able to do so.
