We are still accepting donations to send out to Ukraine. We have been asked for medication, especially painkillers (non – prescription). Thermal and warm clothing, blankets, men and women’s fleeces, sleeping bags, boots and baby food (no glass jars).
You are also welcome to drop in for a coffee and browse through our large range of items including adult’s and children’s clothes, soft toys, toiletries- donate whatever you can afford. All proceeds to Ukraine. Our work is far from done – we are here to support host families and their Ukrainian guests so please let us know how we can help.
A Prayer for Ukraine
God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the
laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your Spirit of Comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment, and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear, that you hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
CLOTHING BANK.
