Our worship and media teams have been busy recording a first for King’s — a home grown song all of our own — and something a little different. Written by our worship leaders Francis and Geisiel, with arrangement by our worship lead Rich, the song is a sung in three languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Twi and English; and is based on an Afrobeats rhythm.
Released Easter Sunday 2024, the video is also available on our YouTube channel.
You can also add the studio version of the song to your favourite streaming service at wingsmusic.lnk.to/Nyameye

We are using the traditional period of Lent to seek after God through prayer & fasting, bringing our ‘holy dissatisfaction’ to Him collectively as a church family. For these seven weeks, wherever you are in your faith, we are encouraging people to fast, from food, for a time.
This will look different for everyone, it may be skipping a meal once a week and using that time to pray, it might be as a group you fast all day and break your fast together with a meal in the evening, it might be fasting completely for a day or two.
The 7 topics are:
12th Feb: Week 1 — All that is within me
Looking at how we praise the Lord with our whole selves.

FASTING GUIDELINES
For some there may be medical reasons meaning you are unable to safely fast from food completely, or there may be people who struggle with eating disorders.
If this is you or people you know, walk through this together asking the Holy Spirit to reveal if there is a particular type of food to fast from, or something that would be helpful to fast instead of food.
We want to reiterate that we live under grace and it’s important to be safe and sensible about this. There’s room for everyone to grow in this practice in some way.
God has blessed us in so many ways, and we don’t just want to grow in size and numbers. We want to grow as we plant and establish communities of believers in their local spaces.
