Friendship Church

The community around Friendship Church

It takes 3.7 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, more than 3 in 10 households aren't sure there will be enough to eat, and about a third describe their own health as fair or poor, and nearly a quarter of adults live with diabetes. 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.
