Thy Kingdom Come at All Saints

Thy Kingdom Come (TKC)) is a global prayer movement, across 85 different denominations, that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension (May 18) to Pentecost (May 28) for more people to come to know Jesus.

We are all invited to “PRAY FOR FIVE” during these 11 days. Every person, household and church are encouraged to pray in their own way for five people they know who do not yet know Jesus.

Beautiful print and online resources will be available, and morning prayer will be offered in person Monday through Saturday at 8:30 am in the church during this time. It’s simple… think of 5, pray for five … Stay tuned!
 
The Holy Spirit throughout the ages:  Come and learn about the Holy Spirit in advance of Thy Kingdom Come and then return in June to hear three stories of the working of the Spirit that continue to make an impact in our world today.

May 16th @ 7:30pm – Holy Spirit through the Scriptures – One Night only – Come and learn who the Holy Spirit is, and how the Holy Spirit has been active and alive from the beginning of creation and continues to be presence today.

 June 6th @ 7:30pm – The conversion of the Ethiopian Eunuch – Come and hear how the Spirit was at work in this story to spread the gospel to Africa and is a touchstone narrative for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

June 13th @ 7:30pm – The conversion of St. Paul – Hear the untold story of how the Holy Spirit worked through others to help make a persecutor of the faith become one of the best-known defenders of the faith the world has ever known. 
 
June 20th @ 7:30pm – The Coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost – When the Holy Spirit came – people were able to hear the good news in their own languages and the message was spread throughout the earth.  Come and hear this familiar story told through the Indigenous Bible and how Indigenous peoples in North America hear and interpret this great event.

Jacky’s Thought and Prayer

Today is Ascension Day when we celebrate Jesus ascending to his father in heaven. For forty days after he left the tomb, Jesus had appeared to his disciples. He walked with them, talked with them, and even ate with them. He comforted them in their fear and confusion (Luke 24:36). He also made promises: that he would be with them “to the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20); that he would return (John 14:18); and that they would receive the Holy Spirit (John 14:26) to comfort and guide them.

Small wonder that the disciples… this disparate group of ordinary working men… were perplexed and frightened! They had spent three years in Jesus’s company, witnessing miracle after miracle, listening to his sermons, but they still did not understand. Luke describes Jesus blessing them, before he was “carried up into heaven.” (Luke 24:51). Following this, they returned to Jerusalem “with great joy” and spent time in worship. In Acts 1: 9, the disciples watched as “a cloud took him out of their sight.” They could only stand there, mouths agape, staring up into the sky.

As a child I attended a Church of England primary school, and on Ascension Day we would walk two by two to the church for a service. I have no recollection of what was said (I suspect it was from the BCP, which might as well have been in Latin for my seven-year-old self), but I still have an image of Jesus floating heavenward, his white robes billowing. In a movie, this is where we would see THE END on the screen. Of course, I realize now that this was not an ending, but a beginning of a whole new way of life for believers. We are not to be like the pre-Pentecost disciples, staring in confusion, wondering what to do next. Jesus has given us all we need to continue the work of sharing the Good News.

Today marks the start of a global prayer initiative, Thy Kingdom Come, in which each of us is urged to pray for five people who don’t yet know Jesus. We don’t have to tell them what we’re doing. We simply ask God for the Holy Spirit to open their hearts. It’s rather like being a secret agent for the gospel. If you’re sceptical about this, believe me, great things can happen. One of my five phoned me out of the blue last summer and shared that his faith had come alive again after many years in the wilderness. There are some beautiful print resources available at the church, while supplies last. Morning prayer will be offered Monday-Saturday at 8:30 a.m. Each of us can find our own way to take part in this mission. So, for the next ten days, until the feast of Pentecost, think of five, pray for five.

Celtic Prayer by David Adam

The Spirit of God is upon you. Th Spirit of God strengthen you. The Spirit of God guide you. The Spirit of God protect you.  The Spirit of God enlighten you. The Spirit of God fill you. Today and ever more. Today and ever more. Amen
