Shady Grove Church

The community around Shady Grove Church

Among the people scattered across those miles, about 1 in 5 the people here live without health insurance, and more than a third of adults live with obesity, and nearly a quarter 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.
