Watson Chapel

The community around Watson Chapel

It takes 4.5 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 6 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.
