All school-aged children are invited to bring their backpacks as we pray for God's guidance, protection, and wisdom throughout the new school year. We will also bless the backpacks collected through our Backpack & School Supply Drive before they are distributed to students in our community.
Teachers, school staff, college students, and educators are encouraged to bring a backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or other work bag as well. As a congregation, we'll pray for everyone beginning a new school year and send them into the season with God's blessing.
