NIC Prayers for Ukraine

In response to the crisis in Ukraine, the NIC Discipleship Task Force is organizing a Zoom prayer vigil on Wednesday, March 23 from 5 - 6 pm.

This will not be a time for discussion nor debate. This will be a time of worship as we lift up prayers for peace and the people of Ukraine.

All are welcome to join us for this prayer service.
