Blessing of the Backpacks

August is almost over, September is just around the corner, and we’re looking forward to our annual Blessing of the Backpacks!

Why do we bless backpacks? The backpacks of students will contain their school work (and much more) to be carried from home to school and back again. As our students carry their backpacks, our prayer and hope is that they will remember that the love and care of God and our congregation surrounds them each school day.

Please join us for this special morning.

And don’t forget to bring your backpack!
