The First Presbyterian Church in Luverne is supporting Ukrainian people affected by the war during a mission service at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23.
During that service Yakov Daniko, a Ukrainian pastor from Sioux Falls, will talk about the needs of the Ukranians and about local opportunities to help. A youth choir from the Sioux Falls congregation will provide special music.
The Luverne Presbyterian Church is raising money to distribute simple stoves to keep Ukrainian people warm this winter in war-torn areas where standard heating sources won’t be available.
The stoves, which will use wooden rubble of war as fuel, will be distributed in homes, churches, government offices and businesses to help the Ukrainian people withstand the coming frigid winter weather.
The Ukrainian people in the Sioux Falls area have direct contacts in Ukraine, and 100 percent of the donated funds will be spent on the stoves. Western Union has waived transfer fees for funds going to Ukraine.
For more information, contact Rev. Dr. Val Putnam, Interim Pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Luverne, by phone at 507-283-4787 or email at vputnam@sio.midco.net.
