The community around St. John the Evangelist

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 describe their own health as fair or poor. Nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and nearly a quarter of working-age adults live without health insurance. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for healing in the homes around this building, and for this church to be known as a place to bring what hurts.
