UKRAINE ASSISTANCE
Please pray for the whole situation. This must be our first response as Christians. You can still watch the diocesan prayer service on YouTube here which has testimonies from the church wardens in Kyiv and a reflection from the chaplain in Moscow. It is heartfelt, informative and moving. Do take the time to look and use it to continue praying.
Ways to help and work with other organisations that are marshalling help are detailed below.
Ukraine Café @ St Paul's Church Centre
On Fridays 11:00-16:00 we are organising a Ukraine Family Café
The purpose is to provide a comfortable and relaxing space, where Ukrainians of all ages can come to socialise. Pre-school children or those who are not yet in school, are welcome and there are toys and activities available.
Talk, tea, coffee, juice, cake and a simple lunch is on offer.
The Church Centre is at Hoornzeelstraat 24, Tervuren, and is best accessed by its own entrance at the rear of the complex via the ramp. See the Locations page for directions.
