Aid for Ukrainian People
With all the suffering among the Ukrainian people many have asked how we might help those who have been impacted by the war.  There is a tremendous need for food, health supplies, and assistance for those who are now homeless; so, if you would like to donate to this crisis, we will receive donations and forward them to the ELCA for Relief in the Ukraine.  Please note on your check that the gift is for “Ukraine Relief.”
The suffering caused by the military actions in the Ukraine are affecting thousands of people and it is appropriate for us to remember these folks in our prayers and share some of our blessings so that life might be a little better for them.  God blesses us so that we might be a blessing to others!  Thank you for considering the gigantic need.
