Saint John Episcopal Church

The community around Saint John Episcopal Church

Within about a mile of this church, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. About 3 in 4 the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the families one rent increase away from moving, and for this church to know their names.
