Blessing of the Backpacks

Past event
Aug 27, 2017, 10 to 11 AM

As our children and school staff head back to school we will celebrate with the Blessing of the Backpacks & Briefcases! Worship will be intergenerational, so children will stay in worship throughout the service.

Please bring your tools for learning and work to church on Sunday for a special blessing.
We will also bless the school supplies collected during the month of August, to be donated to Richmond Elementary School. When school resumes, the school will distribute the items to those in need of supplies. Here is the list of items they need:
