Thy Kingdom Come

Day of Pentecost - Thy Kingdom Come                                         TKC 2020 Anthem

Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. What started in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.

During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will

• Deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ
• Pray for God’s Spirit to work in the lives of those we know, specifically for five friends or family to come to faith in Jesus
• Pray for the empowerment of the Spirit that we would be effective in our witness  

Activities in the Diocese of Fredericton
