Sunday on September 7th will be the Blessing of the Backpacks during worship. Both students and educators are invited to bring their backpacks and participate. The Blessing of the Backpacks is a meaningful ritual where children, youth and educators bring their backpacks to be blessed. This practice serves as a way to encourage students and teachers as they begin their academic journey, providing them with prayers, support, and love from the congregation. The blessing symbolizes the support and care of the community, reminding students that they are not alone and that their efforts will be recognized and valued.
