Thy Kingdom Come 2024
Thy Kingdom Come is a global wave of prayer which takes place every year between Ascension Day and Pentecost. Christians around the world are encouraged to pray for people they know to come to faith. `It is a movement that unites Christians across traditions, demominations and nations. And this year the theme is RENOVATION (to make new again) inspired by Revelaion 21:5 and the love and hope we have for our communities, churches, workplaces, households, schools and the land in which we live. Renovation honours the prayer that Jesus himself taught us to say, 'Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven ...'

Building on our work last year, CTiNA are arranging for a Prayer Gazebo to be placed in the town centre on 3 days between Ascension Day and Pentecost Sunday (19th May). The aim is to speak to passers-by and ask them if we might pray for them at our special Pentecost Service. Sometimes this leads to great conversations about faith, invites to church or prayer there and then.
The days in question are: Saturday 11th May; Wednesday 15th May and Friday 17th May and we'd be looking for people to volunteer to do a 2 hour slot from 10-12, 12-2 or 2-4pm on one (or more) of these days.
If you'd like to be part of this outreach, please speak to Dave, Gareth or Ben.
Pentecost Celebration Exeter Cathedral, Sunday 19 May at 6pm
We're delighted that, for the first time in 5 years, there's a Thy Kingdom Come celebration service at Exeter Cathedral on Pentecost Sunday. This is an ecumenical event and we'd love as many churches as possible to bring a group for an inspiring evening of prayer and worship led by Bishop Jackie and Bishop James, with music led by Andy Flannagan and a talk from Ruth Valerio. We hope that our worship together will draw you closer to God, and inspire you to pray for God’s kingdom here in Devon.Please let us know you are coming by booking your ticket on Eventbrite.
