This year we’re very excited to be celebrating the 10th year of Thy Kingdom Come!

Help light up the world in prayer at our special all-age Thy Kingdom Come celebration at Southwark Cathedral, Sunday 8 June, 3pm. Details & booking here

There are three main ways for parishes and schools to engage with this year’s campaign:

  • Gather – all together in church or school
  • Together – meeting in smaller groups
  • Sent – times of individual prayer

The Mission Team has carefully curated the resources below to help our churches engage meaningfully with Thy Kingdom Come 2025. As we unite in prayer across the diocese, we invite all parishes to join us in asking that the Holy Spirit would move powerfully, drawing many to know Jesus Christ personally. As we approach Pentecost 2025, churches across the diocese are invited to participate in Thy Kingdom Come in three different ways. Parishes can do as much or as little as they wish, in which ever ways suit your context – ideas and resources are below and more can be found on the dedicated Thy Kingdom Come website.

Gather - all together in church or school

Practicing the Way Prayer Stations

Based on Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer, prayer stations can explore the following themes:

  • Sabbath
  • Prayer
  • Fasting
  • Solitude
  • Generosity
  • Scripture
  • Community
  • Service
  • Witness

A short ‘rule of life builder’ exercise can be used at the final prayers station – perhaps with a QR code or link to this site.

Stations of the Resurrection

The perfect follow-up to the Easter season, these stations – with readings and accompanying Church of England liturgies – can be used for times of quiet reflection.

This book, featuring artwork and reflections, may be helpful.

Called to More - meditations

Use these podcasts (each less than 10 mins long) to begin times of silent reflection in church. We suggest starting the session by listening to the podcast, followed by thirty minutes of collective or personal silence.

Together - meeting in smaller groups

Sycamore Course

Sycamore is an informal course about the Christian faith and its relevance for life today. It gives you space to meet other people, share ideas, explore your beliefs, and think about questions that really matter. Each session involves a short film and time for discussion – perhaps over a meal.

Hope & Hospitality

In the pages of the Bible, we find the story of six meals that changed the world centuries ago and offer lessons that could change our world today. In this inspiring series, Krish Kandiah explores each transformative meal, showing us that at the kitchen table, we don’t only interact with food, friends, family, and feelings – but also with our faith.

Life in the Spirit

The Life in the Spirit Seminars provide an opportunity to find out more about a life lived in the power of the Holy Spirit and to take the first steps into a new relationship with our Lord.

The Lectio Course

Join Pete Greig, founder of 24-7 Prayer, for The Lectio Course, an absorbing and inspiring five-part series that walks you through the practice of Lectio Divina. Learn the rhythms of reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation as they apply to the Bible. Hear the astonishing stories of men and women who have encountered Jesus through this ancient yet astoundingly relevant spiritual habit. Discover how to hear God in His Word, so you can be equipped to take His love to the world.
