CONYERS, Ga. — Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine Thursday night. From airstrikes to troop movements, fatalities are already being reported from the military operation. To beckon peace, Conyers' Mother of God Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church hosted a special service at 7:30 p.m.
Taking to Facebook, the church said "We have Divine Liturgy for peace in Ukraine at 7:30pm tonight. Please join us in person or virtually."
The church is preparing to take any donations to help those in Ukraine make it through the worst of the invasion.
Speaking to 11Alive, one church goer explained her thoughts on how so much destruction could be caused in her home country.
"I guess my feelings are the same as every Ukrainian right now. It's a horrible day, and I feel that we have a lot of horrible months ahead of us." She said.
