The community around The River Church

It takes 5.4 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 2 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and more than a third of adults live with obesity, and about 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.
