The United Church of Christ denomination is offering support to the people in Ukraine and those who fled as refugees through humanitarian relief partners who have a history of working in the region.

The newsletter from St. John’s United Church of Christ, Laurys Station, includes a message on the UCC Ukraine Relief Fund.

Church officials report, “Uniting in prayer, action, and giving, we stand as a people of faith in love and compassion with the people of Ukraine and with our global partners who are welcoming those driven from their homes.”
