Mount Pleasant Church

The community around Mount Pleasant Church

It takes 2.7 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 6 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them, and about 1 in 5 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it, and nearly a quarter of the people here live 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.
