The Anglican congregation in Kyiv, capital of Ukraine, has asked Anglicans to pray for peace. Join us in prayer for Ukraine at St Helen’s Church – there is a prayer station in the crossing, alongside space for people to reflect. Available during opening hours.

If you wish to make a financial donation to provide aid, please go to the Disaster Emergency Committee website by clicking this link or on the image above.

 

 

 
Following on from last Sunday’s engaging discussion on the Living in Love & Faith (LLF) initiative, if you would like to explore this further please go to Living in Love and Faith (churchofengland.org). The hope is for people in Church of England churches across the country to use the LLF resources to study and pray together. The resources are designed to encourage and enable engagement and learning in a variety of settings. If there is sufficient interest to attend the 5-week course on this, then please get in touch and we will consider running this after Easter.
