Covenant Supports the People of Ukraine
Soon after the invasion of Ukraine, Covenant’s Sanctuary Decorating Team added vases of yellow sunflowers with blue ribbons (the colors of Ukraine’s flag) to windows in the front of the Sanctuary. These flowers serve as a symbol of concern and hope for a peaceful resolution as we continue the people of Ukraine in our prayers. In addition, Covenant’s support of Ukraine is shown through its financial support for humanitarian efforts with Ukraianian refugees. As of August 30, Covenant has sent $4,855 to the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), and gifts continue to come in. Gifts can be sent through Covenant’s special offering webpage (UMCOR Ukraine) or directly to UMCOR’s International Relief effort. In addition, donations marked “for Ukraine” can be placed in the offering plate or sent to the church office.
