The community around First Congregational Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 3 in 10 adults say they are socially isolated. About 1 in 15 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it, and about 1 in 7 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 lonely within reach of this door, and for a congregation that notices.
