Aid to Ukraine and the UM Response |
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought calls for prayer and statements of deep concern from all corners of the United Methodists Church. The Purchase District joins these prayers and the demand for peace for the Ukrainian community. Below is a helpful link on UM News, Statements, and ways to support during this devastating war. Please also add our fellow United Methodist brothers and sisters in the Ukraine and Russian to your personal and community prayer lists as they respond to the violence and human suffering that this war has brought about in the last few weeks.
