Service folder for the Prayer Service:

Our Christian brothers and sisters in Ukraine are in need of our support. First and foremost, they need our prayers to God for peace and security. There is also a very great need for humanitarian assistance as the war continues to destroy lives and property.

Faith Lutheran Church has established a fund for Ukraine, which will be forwarded to aid our brothers and sisters in the Ukrainian Lutheran Church and the Gift of Life program as well as other Ukrainians in need. 

If you would like to donate to our partner organizations and churches in Ukraine as they continue their humanitarian work, you may make a check out to Faith Lutheran Church and designate it for Ukraine Relief, or donate online at FaithLutheranOregon.com/OnlineGiving.
