Ukraine Relief Fund Opportunity
We are partnering with our missionaries, Jonathan and Corinne Long, who are taking van loads of food into Ukraine and also feeding those who make it safely across the border with Hungary. It costs $4000 to fill a van each day. Corry First would like to fill a van or hopefully two. Would you help us meet that goal? Please mark checks, offering envelopes and online giving with the word “Ukraine”, or place offerings in the blue and yellow box in the foyer. As always, continue to pray for those who are serving on the border and for the Ukrainians fighting for their freedom.
