Backpack Blessing!
Bring your school backpack, briefcase, work bag, bicycle or scooter and receive a blessing to be a blessing! This is a special way to mark the new beginnings September brings. We will pray for the fresh start, which may bring anxiety as well as anticipation. This is an outward sign of our inward faith.
This is also a way to remember that in our every day lives, in our work, rest and play, God's blessing is with us. Often a ceremony or liturgy can help us move into a positive mindset about something we had apprehension about, and the start of a new school year can be daunting, especially if we're attending a new school.
We hope to see you at church with your backpacks, wheels, and whatever else you use to carry out your life and work!
