On August 4, we will do our annual Blessing of the Backpacks! This time to gather, pray for the school year, and bless each other as we begin again has become a cherished moment in the life of our church.
I hope you will invite your friends and family who are going to school (any year) or work in the school system to join us!
New this year: School Supply Drive. As you bring your backpacks, please bring along some school supplies to donate. Simply bring the items with you as you bring your backpack to the front of the church and leave them at the altar. Let us extend our blessing to those in need across our community. Items needed are:
- Paper
- Two-inch binders
- Backpacks
- Pencils
- Composition notebooks
Items will be given to the Dodge County School system, via Jodi Brewer, for distribution as there is need.
We’ll see you at either service on Sunday, August 4!
