Salem Church

The community around Salem Church

It takes 3.3 miles in every direction to gather two thousand neighbors around this church. Among the people scattered across those miles, nearly a quarter of the people here live without health insurance, and nearly a quarter of the people here live below the poverty line, and about 1 in 10 the workforce is looking for work and not finding it. 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.
