For Geneva Campus Church, it was collecting backpacks for students at West High School. For The Church at Christ Memorial, it was taking the teachers from Leopold Elementary out for a social get-together. For Redeemer City Church, it was taking care of kids at Huegel Elementary School so the African-American parent group could have a time to meet.
For many congregations, linking up with Madison-area schools covers a wide range of activities, For some, it also involves providing food through a network of food pantries that serves low-income families.
All of those connections came together on Nov. 19 as representatives of a range of congregations gathered as the Collaboration Project’s Church + Schools affinity group at the Madison Church of Christ on Fish Hatchery Road.
