Hello Christ Church,
We would like to identify veterans, military personnel and their families in our church. We would also like to identify their needs and ways the church can be of help. Filling out a survey will aid us in getting started. Suggestions and opinions from all, not just military or veterans, will be appreciated. - Katherine Mayer, Fr. Hal

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 would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen.
Church of England, Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby
Church of England, Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrel
