Today marks Day 1 of Thy Kingdom Come 2026. ✨

As this year’s global wave of prayer begins, we invite you to join us over the next 11 days in praying, ‘Come Holy Spirit’, asking God to renew us by His Spirit and help us share His love with the Five people we are holding in prayer.

Let us pray that the Spirit will make us effective witnesses to our Five loved ones. 🙏

Oh Lord, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves and not need You.
In Jesus name,
Amen.

😎 Sunday's Cool! 🥳
Peter encourages persecuted Christians to keep doing good, even when faced with evil. They should replace any fear with readiness to gently explain the reason for their hope in Jesus, who also suffered to bring salvation.

This week we’ll explore how, with the Holy Spirit as our advocate, comforter and encourager, we are strengthened to be faithful witnesses, sharing our hope in Jesus with others.

Join us this Sunday at 10am in St Paul’s Church, Ashby or St Peter’s Church, Bottesford as we think about 1 Peter 3.13-22. Why not print off the activity sheets and bring them along to show us what you have done, or come along to get your own copies? Show us what you’ve been doing – post in the comments or bring your sheets along to the service. 😀
