Morning Grove Church

Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and nearly half of adults live with obesity, and nearly half 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.
