FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A Peace Vigil for Ukraine
Wednesday March 23rd 3pm - 7pm

The United Church of Craftsbury (the Church on the Common) and Saint John the Baptist Episcopal Church (in Hardwick, next to Jeudevine Library) invite you to a peace vigil: a time of personal prayer, reflection, grieving, and meditation on the situation in Ukraine and in other troubled parts of the world. Our two churches will both be open, heat and lights on, on Wednesday, March 23, from 3pm until 7pm. Come for four minutes or four hours, or anything in between - whatever your schedule allows and your heart desires. Come as you are, no need for "Sunday Best." There is plenty of room for social distancing, so there will not be any crowding together. Some church folks will be there if you need direction to bathroom facilities or any other support. We welcome the opportunity to share our time and our warm, cozy space with those experiencing distress at the events occurring in Ukraine and anywhere there is violence against our brothers and sisters in our human family. All are welcome.

Please feel welcome at either church, whichever is convenient for you. There will be no structured liturgy at any time during these four hours.
