Between Ascension and Pentecost (21st to 31st May) our diocese, along with other Christians around the globe, will be part of the Thy Kingdom Come global movement of prayer (https://www.thykingdomcome.global/). This movement is about deepening our own faith, praying that others might come to know the transforming love of Jesus and that God’s reign of justice and peace might be realised in new and transforming ways.

JOIN THE WORLDWIDE PRAYER INITIATIVE MAY 21-31
"Thy Kingdom Come is a prayer initiative organized with one prayer in mind, that God would send his Spirit to empower the church to greater works of evangelism."
Arthur Wallis once said: "Every great revival is born out of prayer, is sustained by prayer and brings forth more prayer."
During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will:- Deepen their own relationship with Jesus Christ
- Pray for 5 friends or family to come to faith in Jesus
- Pray for the empowerment of the Spirit that we would be effective in our witness
