“The Faces of War”. . .

Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine stands as a solemn and tragic reminder of the depths of human evil and the brokenness of our human community. Yet even amid the devastation of this current conflict, God’s healing presence is being experienced and revealed in ever-enlarging acts of compassion, kindness, and self-sacrificial love. The war in Ukraine and the subsequent draconian tactics of the Russian government against their people constitute little more than the total abandonment of reason and the denial of even the most basic human rights. No moral or religious authority can justify the actions being undertaken by the Russian government. As Christians, we are called to respond by sharing the burdens of our Ukrainian and Russian brothers and sisters. May our prayer be for God’s wisdom to guide our responses. The Church must be the venue through which and in which the presence of Christ is carried into the human suffering of the war in Ukraine. Each community of faith and each believer must unite in prayer, in acts of compassion, generosity, and love for all affected by the inhumanity of war.

Blessings,

Pastor Tom

Please fill out the request card. During the opening song, the requests will be gathered and at prayer time, each request will be lifted up by Pastor Tom. There will be a follow-up on each request. You can also phone or text the church with a request which will be prayed over immediately and read the following Sunday during prayer time.
