Backpack Blessing
As a new school year begins, we invite all kids to bring their backpacks to church on Sunday, September 7 for a special Blessing of the Backpacks. During the service, Pastor Ben will offer a prayer of encouragement and protection over each child, educator and staff member and their school year. This meaningful ritual reminds our young ones that they are cherished members of our faith community and that their journeys matter deeply to us. Let’s surround them with love and support as they head back to school!
