Shady Grove Church

The community around Shady Grove Church

It takes 5.8 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 4 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and more than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and about a third of adults say they are socially isolated. 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.
