I am aware that many members will already have responded to the various appeals that have been recently launched to help those affected by the disastrous war in Ukraine. Nevertheless, it is felt that as a Church we need to show our concern and pain in some way. As I announced in the church a couple of weeks ago, on Pentecost Sunday, 5 June, we will hold a special service at which a collection for Ukraine will be taken. As always donations will be gratefully received at any time from those unable to attend on 5 June.
