Sanders Chapel

The community around Sanders Chapel

Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about 1 in 5 adults live with diabetes, and more than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line. 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.
