Parkwood CME Church

The community around Parkwood CME Church

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 8 in 10 the children here are growing up below the poverty line. More than half of the people here live below the poverty line, and more than half of households aren't sure there will be enough to eat. That is 2,200 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.
