Thy Kingdom Come 2025

Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement which starts Thursday 29th May. TKC invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.

During this period, the Garden Room at Church will be set up as a prayer room with interactive stations. Thy Kingdom Come booklets are available in church.

We start TKC with an informal prayer and worship meeting in the Garden Room at 7:30pm on May 29th.

Further details can be found on our website at https://stcatherines-tilehurst.org.uk/tkc/

St Cat’s Lite – Saturday 3rd May

Our popular “St Cat’s Lite” returns Saturday 3rd May.

St Cat’s Lite is a fun, informal, all-age service. We start with different craft activities that help us think about the months theme. We continue exploring the theme through songs, stories and prayer. We finish with refreshments. While open to anyone of any age, it’s especially popular with children & families.

It takes place at St Catherine’s on the first Saturday of the month, starting at 3:30pm.

Everyone is very welcome at this or any of our activities.

Rocky’s Plaice Holiday Club
