The international prayer initiative Thy Kingdom Come takes place each year between Ascension and Pentecost. I am delighted that a Thy Kingdom Come "Equip and Inspire" event is taking place in Telford on April 11th at 11am at Wellington Methodist Church to which you are warmly invited.
This two hour gathering will introduce the range of materials available and potential ways in which they can be used in local churches. In my experience, this is amongst the best prayer resource material I have ever come across, suitable for use by individuals, churches and families, and not just during Thy Kingdom Come.
Booking details are to be found on the attached flyer Kingdom Come pdf and I hope that you, or a representative from your church, will be able to attend.
