Assisting Ukraine Refugees – Matching Gift Opportunity
Matching gift opportunity: The Union Cross (Southern Province), and Lititz (Northern Province) Moravian congregations have informed the Board of World Mission that they will each donate up to $5,000 towards our effort to assist our Czech Moravian friends in providing compassionate hospitality to Ukrainian refugees fleeing violence in their homeland.
The Moravian Congregation in Nová Paka has been in possession of a largely vacant hotel for several years without knowing what to do with it. Now they know, and they are working hard to make final renovations on rooms even as the first refugee families are arriving on their doorstep. The Union Cross and Lititz congregations feel blessed to be able to offer these donations and would love to match your gift up to $10,000. Can your congregation help us to multiply their gift? How can your congregation rise to the challenge? If you would like to participate in this matching challenge, please follow the giving instructions below:
