Open letter from the Moderator
Dear friends,
Greetings to you on this Ash Wednesday, in our world still in turmoil from Covid and now the situation in Ukraine.
I have just written a new Blog post as an open letter to all our churches.

Prayers for Ukraine
Following the military invasion of Ukraine, resources are available to help churches and individuals pray for peace and for the peoples of Ukraine and Russia, and reflect on the Christian call to be peacemakers.
The Joint Public Issues Team of the United Reformed Church, Methodist Church and Baptist Union has issued the following prayer:
Prayer from the Archbishop of Canterbury
In February 2022, when war in Ukraine began, the Archbishops of Canterbury and York wrote a prayer for the country and its people:
A Prayer for Ukraine
God of peace and justice,
we pray for the people of Ukraine today.
We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.
We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,
that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.
We pray for those with power over war or peace,
for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.
Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at risk and in fear,
that you would hold and protect them.
We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Amen
