As our students prepare to head back to the classroom, we invite you to join us for a special Blessing of the Backpacks during both services on Sunday, August 9. This beloved tradition is a meaningful way to lift up our students, teachers, and school communities in prayer as they begin a new academic year.

All are welcome! We invite students of all ages, from preschoolers to college students, to bring their backpacks, book bags, or totes forward for a blessing. Teachers, administrators, and supporting staff are also encouraged to bring their bags or briefcases as we pray for God's guidance, wisdom, and protection over the entire school year ahead.

In a world where heading back to school can bring both excitement and anxiety, this is a beautiful opportunity to cover our community in prayer and to show our students and educators that they are seen, valued, and never alone.

All are welcome! Whether you're a student, a parent, a teacher, or simply someone who wants to support our young people, we hope you'll join us for this special moment of blessing and community.
