The community around New Light Church

It takes 5.2 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 5 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity, and more than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. 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.
