Living In Providence, RI

The early pilgrims felt that they were guided by God to this new land, and because of that, their choice to name this special place Providence is highly significant. The word is defined as a manifestation of God's foresightful care of his creatures, and thus the name of Rhode Island's capital city spiritually resounds as a place that offers much to both residents and visitors.
