Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Kingdom Come is a prayer movement launched by Archbishops Justine and Sentamu in 2016. For the 10 days leading up to Pentecost, Christians from all over the world are called to pray for more people to come to know Jesus. Our vision at St John’s is to be a loving and growing community released and empowered to join in God’s work of proclaiming and demonstrating the good news to Egham and beyond. This year you are all invited to contribute towards this vision becoming more a reality through:
