Mount Sinai United Holy Church of America

The community around Mount Sinai United Holy Church of America

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 6 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. Nearly a quarter of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about 1 in 7 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.

Pray for the households stretched past their means, and for this church to know their names.
