Historically, churches and denominations have proven innovative around social and health issues, with a long history of responding to community needs. The pandemic presents an opportunity for our communities of faith to again live into the space of innovation and engagement.
Virtual and hybrid schools mean that students need a supportive environment, access to the internet, and oftentimes help with schoolwork and technology. As churches sit empty and volunteers look for opportunities to serve, how can we use our facilities and provide access and assistance for children and their parents?
