WE STAND WITH UKRAINE
Ми за Україну
As we watch the unfolding tragedy in Ukraine, we stand with its people against the aggression and violence they are so courageously trying to withstand. As a Church community, our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine, their leaders and people everywhere affected by this devastating act of aggression. We are left with a range of emotions from sadness and anger through to a sense of hopelessness. We are all left with the question….’what can we do?’ There is a variety of ways in which you can respond. Detailed below you will find a range of resources we hope you will find helpful.
