The community around New Salem Church

It takes 8.2 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, about 1 in 5 adults live with diabetes, and more than a third of adults live with obesity, and about a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. A scattered parish is still a parish.

Pray for the families driving a long way to everything — to work, to a hospital, to this door on a Sunday morning.
