We invite you once again to reflect on the Lord’s Prayer this week, focusing on the second petition: “Thy Kingdom Come.”
Here is a beautiful and thoughtful collect from the Advent Ember Days in the 1962 Canadian Book of Common Prayer. It’s also included on the prayer sheet that is distributed in our weekly email.
Take a moment to pray it slowly and let it shape your prayers this week.
How is the prayer “Thy Kingdom Come” stirring your heart right now?

Yesterday, Rob challenged us to consider how praying the second petition of the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy kingdom come,” is actually a dangerous prayer.
When we pray it, we’re asking God to rule in our lives without rival… to take His rightful place while we take ours. Are we really ready for that? Are we prepared for our lives to “blow up” (in the best and most necessary way) as God shows up and reigns fully?
What do you think? Is “Thy kingdom come” a dangerous prayer for you right now?

This week we invite you to reflect on the first petition of the Lord’s Prayer, Hallowed be Thy Name, using this thoughtful collect from the Seventh Sunday after Trinity, included on the prayer sheet Pastor Rob provided.
It’s a powerful prayer asking God to deepen our love for His holy name, strengthen our faith, and keep us rooted in His goodness and mercy.
We encourage you to take time this week to pray this collect during your prayer time this week and let it shape your heart.

Yesterday Joshua kicked off our series on the Lord's Prayer by discussing the petition, 'Hallowed be Thy Name,' drawing from Ezekiel 36:16-38.

In preparation for our new sermon series on the Lord's Prayer, here's a beautiful collect for the Spirit of Prayer.
May it draw our hearts closer to God as we gather to worship and learn from Jesus' own words.
We'd love to see you there—Sunday at 9:00 AM!

Resurrection Sunday.
From Palm Sunday through the whole of Holy Week, we praise and sing Alleluia this morning for all Jesus has done for us.

He is Risen, Indeed!

Scenes from last night’s Easter Vigil. Was a late night, starting at sunset, but how wonderful to shout Alleluia together after the Lenten fast.

The Lord is Risen indeed, and this is Good News for now and always.

8:30 this evening, we gather with other ADOC churches to celebrate the Great Vigil.
