Sumterville Church

The community around Sumterville Church

It takes 6.2 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 5 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and more than half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than 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.
