First Central Church Of The Brethren

The community around First Central Church Of The Brethren

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 5 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than a third of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third of the people here live without health insurance. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
