Ukraine: How can I help? Donate | Welcome | Pray

WELCOME: Sanctuary Foundation is supporting new arrivals from Ukraine. The Sanctuary Foundation invites you to join us to make a real difference to the lives of Ukrainian people.

The UK government has announced it is developing a new humanitarian sponsorship programme that will allow an unlimited number of Ukrainian families to come to the UK.
This humanitarian sponsorship route is currently being designed, but it will assist and accelerate the government response if potential sponsors and supporters can express their interest as soon as possible.

You can pledge your support here:

DONATE MUCH NEEDED GOODS:
Craig and Caroline, who lead our Give and Share ministry, have been taking donations to a local couple who are collecting and driving back to Ukraine. The following items are still in short supply and very much needed:

Sleeping bags, thermal underwear, hot water bottles, baby milk, nappies, women’s sanitary protection and hygiene products, pet food, tea, coffee, sweets, rice, pasta, cuppa soups, jam, socks, paracetamol tablets, ibruprofen tablets, calpol, bandages, dressings plasters and Imodium.

These are the essential but anything like colouring books pens and backpacks for the children would be amazing as they often leave with nothing. Pet carriers are also needed.

You can drop off any of these items at our church office during office hours (scroll down to the bottom right of this page for more details). Craig and Caroline will make sure they are being delivered. Please do NOT leave donated goods outside the church if no one is in!

Yesterday was the start of The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which has been observed by many denominations around the world since 1908. Our “Ministers Together” group in the area meets once a month to pray for our churches’ mission and ministry and is made up of ministers from Roman Catholic, Baptist, Church of England, Methodist and URC churches. Denham Parish Church is part of this group. In the past we have organised outreach events, training and joint worship services.

Please pray that we would continue to grow in unity inspired by Jesus, the living Word of God.

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

“My prayer is not for them [my disciples] alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” Jesus in John 17:20–23
