Welcome to your spring update of the JMA newsletter.

 

  With the current worrying situation in Ukraine, please find a prayer below that you might like to use with your JMA collectors.

Children's Prayer for Ukraine 

Loving God, we pray for peace in Ukraine.


Help keep people safe and protect them from being hurt.


Please care for children separated from their families,


Please help people who have had to leave their homes.


We pray for love and peace, everywhere.


In the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace,


Amen.

Please keep in your prayers particularly United Methodist congregations in Ukraine who are themselves organising aid and refuge in homes and churches for those fleeing the war. We continue to pray for peace with all in the region and partner churches who are affected by the invasion of Ukraine.


Find more prayers and resources for Ukraine on the Methodist Church website and Joint Public Issues Team website.


The Methodist Podcast

 

In the most recent Methodist Podcast we talk to two Methodists in Ukraine who are fleeing from the invasion to find safety, we hear how peace can stand up to aggression and learn how to talk to children about worrying news events. Listen here.

The Methodist Church in Britain and All We Can have opened a joint appeal, the situation is rapidly changing but a huge need is growing with persons displaced by conflict.  Donations will be used to support the response to the crisis happening in Ukraine, and ensure that critical humanitarian assistance is available to those who need it.
