Macedonia Church

The community around Macedonia Church

Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 4 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly half of adults live with obesity, 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.
