Pray for Peace in Ukraine & Globally Throughout the World
|
Our brothers and sisters in Ukraine hope and pray that we here in America do not forget them in their trials and tribulations of war. They hope and expect us to 1) pray for them and 2) support them.
And this is exactly what we do here at SS Peter & Paul, the center of all things Ukrainian in Montgomery county. So don't stay home Saturdays and Sundays. Come to Church and pray with us. Both God and our kin in blood and spirit need us NOW, need our prayers and need our support! 
We continually pray for all who travel to the safety of neighboring nations as well as those who fight for freedom, and the perseverance of liberty, justice, and independence.
*** We continually pray as one united voice throughout all of our churches, throughout our great nation, and throughout all countries in our world that our Lord Jesus will grant our People Freedom, Democracy, and Peace. *** |
