Looking ahead, please note the dates 25th May – 4th June 2017 – Thy Kingdom Come. This is the Archbishops’ initiative between Ascension Day and Pentecost encouraging us to join with the family of God the Father to pray “Come Holy Spirit”, so that we may be effective witnesses to Jesus Christ. The aim is simple, and threefold:
- To join in prayer with the whole family of God the Father
- To pray for the empowering of God the Holy Spirit
- That we may be effective witnesses to God the Son, Jesus Christ.
The Diocese will be holding a beacon event at the Cathedral on Wednesday 24th May to launch the initiative. There are already examples of good practice from 2016 which can be found on the diocesan website (http://www.cofesuffolk.org). Do have a look and see what others have done, and see if you can incorporate something imaginative into your local MU branch activities to promote this exciting opportunity for faith in action.
There is more information about the Thy Kingdom Come initiative on our Faith and Policy pages.
