Morningstar Church

The community around Morningstar Church

It takes 5.1 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 5 in 10 adults live with obesity, and nearly half of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. 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.
