You're invited to a special Blessing of the Backpacks—a joyful worship for students, teachers, and school staff of all ages. As a new school year begins, join us as we offer prayers and a blessing over everyone heading into classrooms, hallways, and offices.
What's it look like? During worship, we’ll take a moment to reflect on the things we all need as a new school year begins—like encouragement, courage, and a sense of wonder. Everyone who feels comfortable doing so is invited to come up to the front with their backpacks for a short blessing and to receive a small backpack token as a reminder that God is with you every step of the way. It is also perfectly fine to soak up the beauty of the blessing from your seat!
Be sure to bring your backpack, tote, lunchbox, laptop case, or whatever you carry each day. We’ll bless them, and you, as we begin the year surrounded by love, encouragement, and the promise that you don’t go into the year alone.
We are a community who believes everyone is a child of God. We’d love to see you here!
