Westminster Diocese is supporting the global prayer movement for evangelisation ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ which takes place from Ascension to Pentecost.
Thy Kingdom Come invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus Christ. What started out as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York in 2016 to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
‘To have a week of prayer for Christian mission is just a wonderful thing. Please do join in before Pentecost, this drive to pray together for the gift of God’s spirit for our mission. We know how rich Pentecost is in the life of the church from its very beginning. That richness can be ours too – if we ask God for it.’
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, Joint President of the Council of Churches for England
Each school is invited to join this event, and to encourage pupils and staff to ‘Pledge to Pray’ during this period. This is done by logging on to the ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ website, with each pledge lighting up a dot on world-wide map.
