The community around St James Baptist Church

It takes 2.8 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 about 1 in 5 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about 1 in 10 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. 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.
