Pentecost with the Pope

More details about Thy Kingdom Come can be found on this website on our Thy Kingdom Come page.

To round off Thy Kingdom Come 2020, His Holiness Pope Francis will take part in an online church service on Sunday 31st May at 9 a.m. alongside the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and a number of other UK church leaders, including Methodist Youth President Thelma Commey who wrote this year’s TKC Prayer Journal.

The Pope will deliver a special message for Pentecost Sunday when we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church.

The Pope’s heartfelt message calls on all Christians to seek a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in order that they might be bearers of Christ’s love, light and hope, in a world “experiencing a tragic famine of hope” but also urges a turning away from the “selfish pursuit of success without caring for those left behind’ and to be united in facing the “pandemics of the virus and of hunger, war, contempt for life and indifference to others.”

The service includes a number of prayers from children, with music by internationally renowned worship leader Matt Redman and the choirs of St Martin-in-the-Fields. A special version of the well-known hymn Amazing Grace, bringing together a diverse range of singers from across the UK, will also premiere, concluding the service.

The service will be interpreted into British Sign Language throughout and subtitles are also available.
