Many of you will have seen the harrowing television pictures from Ukraine over the last few days and we would like to alert you to some of the ways in which you can help support the Ukrainian people. Money can be donated to the Diocese of Europe which is working closely with the mission agency USPG. Funds raised will support Christian charities and churches carrying out humanitarian work both in Ukraine and responding to the arrival of refugees in neighbouring countries. Visit ukraine-emergency-appeal.raisely.com for how to donate.From the Durham Diocesan Communications Team

It was a peaceful atmosphere which many people enjoyed by simply sitting, listening to the quiet music and praying silently.We finished the evening with a short ancient service of night prayer, often called Compline.Watch this space for future similar services!
