Thy Kingdom Come

 

Thy Kingdom Come (TKC)  is a global, ecumenical prayer movement each May, between Pentecost and Ascension, when we are encouraged to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. Since it began 10 years ago, TKC has grown from a dream of possibility to a movement that unites more than one million Christians in prayer in nearly 90% of countries worldwide.

 

As part of TKC this year we are holding a Day of Prayer in church on May 21st when anyone can drop in to pray for our world, our country, ourselves and others who do not yet know Jesus. There will be prayer stations set up in church and reflective music playing to enable visitors to pray quietly on their own.

 

If you would like to volunteer to host during the day please sign up on the sheet on the notice board.

It is always good to have a welcoming smiling face to greet people as they enter our church.

Christian Aid Week

 

This year Christian Aid Week runs from Sunday 10th May to Saturday 16th.  We will be having our annual Christian Aid Service on Sunday 17th. This year the charity is focusing on families in Nairobi, Kenya, who face the devastating reality of urban poverty and the daily struggle to feed their children.  From the 10th May, Christian Aid envelopes will be placed on the chairs for your donations and can be placed in the weekly church collection. Please support the charity if you can.

 

Another aspect of Christian Aid work is campaigning. Debt is now at its highest in the history of Kenya. To keep up with repayments, the government is reducing spend on health and education and there is no support for farmers. Many debts squeezing Kenya are owed to private lenders who make vast profits whilst Kenyan people face crisis. These debts are governed by UK law. The UK could limit the power of private lenders by introducing new debt justice laws that could help tackle poverty.

Please sign the online petition at  HYPERLINK "https://www.christianaid.org.uk/get-involved/campaigns/stand-with-kenya"https://www.christianaid.org.uk/get-involved/campaigns/stand-with-kenya     to force the UK government to use its power to force private lenders to cancel or renegotiate the debts of low-income countries.

 

Thank you
