Thy Kingdom Come, now celebrating its tenth year, has grown from a call to the Church of England to engage in evangelistic prayer from Ascension to Pentecost to be a world-wide wave of prayer touching some 180 countries and 85 Christian denominations. There are some very interesting resources, including a Digital Detox Devotional, so check out the website.

If so, Canon Doug needs to hear from you! It would be wonderful to have some of our African and Caribbean voices, along with others, heard as the gospel is read at the 10.30 am service on Pentecost Sunday, June 8th.
