Ukraine . USPG and the Church of England Diocese in Europe have launched an emergency appeal to get aid to people in desperate need because of the invasion of Ukraine. Funds raised by the appeal will support Christian charities and churches carrying out humanitarian work both in Ukraine and responding to the arrival of refugees in neighbouring countries. Donate using the link: https://ukraine-emergency-appeal.raisely.com/ .

Continuing to cover the Ukraine emergency in prayer is just as important as financial donations. Please pray:

• For the people of Ukraine and for their leaders as they counter the

attacks on their country and fear for their lives

• For the leaders of nations, for diplomacy, for pressure on the

Russian leadership, including the Russian Orthodox Church, for peace

• For the people of Russia who are living in fear, for courage to speak

out and protest

• For the Anglican Church in Europe in those lands, particularly the

small congregation of Christ Church, Kyev and the congregation of St

Andrew’s, Moscow

• For the journalists working in Russia and the Ukraine, for good

channels of communication

• For the humanitarian response to the crisis, international aid

agencies, for our own response to be effective as we give in the best

possible way

• For refugees, their welcome, the hospitality of nations and our own

government’s response.
