Ukraine Crisis - How Lutherans Can Help

Since last week, the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has filled news reports and social media feeds. Heartbreaking images of people saying goodbye to loved ones and lining up at the borders to leave the country are occupying our screens. Prayers and calls for peace are coming from around the world as we watch this crisis unfold

Lutheran Disaster Response is accompanying our companion churches in Ukraine, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, as well as such ecumenical partners as the Lutheran World Federation and Church World Service, in their humanitarian responses to the crisis. These partners provide refugees with immediate support and supplies such as food, blankets, water and hygiene kits. Presiding Bishop Elizabeth Eaton has joined other religious leaders from Europe and around the globe in issuing an interfaith call for peace in the region.

100% of your donation will go toward the crisis in Ukraine.

Barb's Medical Minutes

Do you know what your blood pressure numbers should be? Do you know what the numbers mean? The top number is the systolic, which measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number is the diastolic which measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. So,

Normal is lower than 120/80.
Above normal, but below 139/89 is stage 1 hypertension which may require diet changes like less salt and alcohol, or more exercise and sleep. Boo, no alcohol; Yes more sleep!
Regularly above 140/90 may require those changes, plus possibly medication.
Numbers go above 180/120—call your doctor immediately. You need medical help ASAP because it is a hypertensive crisis.

So, stop in the library this weekend and get your blood pressure checked after church! Emmanuel does more than save your soul, we might just save your life.
