Kia ora All Saints whānau,

Thy Kingdom Come has started!
​It is a call to pray for people for people to come to know Jesus. If you have not heard about how Thy Kingdom Come started here is the story:

We are taking this a step further at All Saints:

1. Pick five people to pray for to come to know Jesus. You will need to put at least one person who is local
2. Pray for them right up until 30 July.
3. Have a coffee, dinner with some of your local people and be listening for God's prompting of who to invite to Go Sunday.
4. Invite one of your people to join you in your Go Sunday adventure on the 30 July.

Our desire is that people will come to non-threatening environments with their friends and meet Christians. It will give an opportunity for conversations, and questions. The lead in to all of this is our 8 week "What is the Gospel?" series. Which will clarify, challenge and give us words to know what the gospel is. 

Pentecost is on the 28th May. Our combined 10am service is going to include Baptisms of Jasper and Arlo Spence. Our prayer vigil leads into this service and there is a chance to pray for the Spirit to work in this place and the world.

There is so much happening, with many ways to pray, engage with and join Jesus in his mission here. In all of this we are trying to live into our mission as a church: To be passionate disciples devoted to Christ's Kingdom transformation.

Bless you all this week!
Andrew Spence
