Thy Kingdom Come 2024: 9th – 19th May
Introduction
These ten days of prayer draw on a tradition of the church that has become well established in the Diocese of Sheffield for more than ten years. They are also now part of a longer-term commitment to prayer, which has to the development of the 2025 Prayer Community across our Diocese. This year TKC lasts from 9 May (Ascension) to 19 May (Pentecost).
You will be able to download a TKC Diary below. This will be updated regularly up to (and during) Thy Kingdom Come.
Events in the Diocese of Sheffield this year
Deanery Prayer Pilgrimage events
These are currently under development: details to follow. The aim is to pray for the mission of the churches in each deanery and to take our prayers out into the community. The style is short pilgrimage style events between churches. People can choose to walk or simply to join in with prayer at the churches along the way. We know that not everyone can walk far but this is no barrier to being involved.
Evensong event
Provisionally Sun 12 May: details to follow
Beacon Event
Sunday 19 May, evening (time to be confirmed) at St John’s Owlerton
A time to celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and receive afresh.
