What’s next? Jesus had died and risen again, but what was next for him and his disciples and what’s next for us as a church?

Thy Kingdom Come (18th to 28th May)
Please pray! The 18th May is Ascension Day, when we remember Jesus ascending to heaven 40 days after his resurrection. During the ten days after this, his disciples spent time in prayer as they waited for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Inspired by their example, we want to encourage more prayer today. Over the period from Ascension Day to Pentecost, the Thy Kingdom Come initiative encourages people to engage in extra prayer. We want to join in with this!
Your Kingdom Come (Matthew 26:36-46)
What are we praying for in the Lord’s Prayer? What does Jesus mean by, “Your Kingdom Come.” What kind of kingdom is this?
Witnesses
“But you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Do you believe in organised religion? (Exodus 18:13-27)
Increasingly people say they want to be ‘Spiritual’ but don’t believe in organised religion. We are not saved by organised religion, but we do need it to help us in our discipleship. In Exodus 18, Moses is given advice on how to organise the people of God.
Beautiful Baroque
On Sunday 14th May at 3pm in the Sailors’ Church, Thanet Chamber Orchestra will be performing a free concert with Petra (St. George’s organist) playing her harpsichord.
Volunteer Sunday
“Now the body is not made up of one part, but of many.”
Whose Law is it? (Romans 13:1-10)
With the Coronation of King Charles, it is worth reflecting on the Christian understanding of political authority. If Christians see God as the ultimate authority, how are we to relate to earthly rulers? Both the good and the bad? Claire explores the Biblical teaching in Romans 13.
Coronation Viewing and Lunch
Thank you to the fantastic St. Luke’s and St. George’s social events team for organising such a wonderful event for the Coronation. The church was decorated beautifully and the lunch afterwards was fit for a king!
