Pentecost Service: Thy Kingdom Come

Diocese of Southwark

Southwark Cathedral

The Diocese of Southwark invites you to join us for an interactive family-friendly celebration on Pentecost at Southwark Cathedral.Created for the wriggliest and chattiest among us, we will be exploring the meanings of Pentecost through song, movement, and craft across different sensory stations.When: Sunday 8 June 2025Time: 3–5pmSandwiches and refreshments for all to enjoy.The event is open to all and free to attend. With sensory experience we will be exploring the theme of Pentecost:– Through touch create swirling patterns of fire with rice dyed with fiery colours – Through taste (and edible friendship bracelets!) celebrate the Holy Spirit as our friend and comforter who gives us boldness to pray in turn for our friends – Through smell, explore the call to be ‘the aroma of Christ’ to others, rubbing herbs to wake up their scent and creating mini herb bags to gift to others – Create a sight for the eyes, making fiery headbands to remember the story of tongues of fire dancing on the heads of the apostles – Make a joyful noise with shakers made from discarded plastic bottles: the Holy Spirit can create beautiful new things even from the things and moments we see as waste This year’s theme for Thy Kingdom Come is ‘Light up the world in prayer’ and is an afternoon specially designed by Rachael Gledhill (Associate Vicar of St John the Evangelist, Upper Norwood) and Sharon Moughtin (Vicar of St Mary in the Wilderness and author of Diddy Disciples) we will explore Pentecost to mark the global wave of prayer. Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost (28 May – 8 June) for more people to come to know Jesus.In its 10th year, TKC calls for every person, household and church to pray for 11 days in their own way. Since it began in May 2016, God has grown TKC from a dream of possibility into a movement which unites more than a million Christians in prayer. It takes place in nearly 90% of countries worldwide, across 85 different denominations and traditions – so that friends and family, neighbours and colleagues might come to faith in Jesus Christ.
