Since today was the last Sunday prior to Canada Day we decided as a church to hold a special service honouring both Canada and the Ukraine. Since the war has been going on we have been quite active in assisting Ukrainian refugees who have had to flee their homeland and come to Canada.
This is one such family. It was an honour to present them with a financial gift as well as a van to assist them in getting around the city. Next is to help them find a home of their own. The wife who speaks English shared with the congregation their story of losing everything , fleeing to Poland and finally arriving here in Edmonton last month.
Following the service we held a community meal allowing us to get to know these wonderful people even more
Beautiful set of pictures. So sad for all Ukrainians who have lost everything because of a cruel war by a bullying neighbour. I am very happy to read your text knowing they are being helped settle down.
You and your country’s assistance to the refugees is admirable. I pray that soon the Russians will revolt against their own government and take out the thug that has violated all sense of humanity.
You all have certainly taken the second great commandment to heart. What wonderful things you are doing for these people. I hope that it brings them peace and joy to know they landed in the lap of love.
