School backpacks contain work to be done, work that’s been returned, books to be studied, and the tools to complete homework. In early September, students jump back into the adventures of learning, and we know that God goes with them. During worship on August 26 & 27, all students (children, youth, and adults) are invited to bring their backpacks. Both students and backpacks will be blessed for the coming year of learning. Students will also receive a special “Walk with Jesus” keychain for their backpack to remind them of the words of Jesus to do to others as they’d have others do to them. Teachers and school staff will also be in our prayers. God is the one who calls us to learn and to teach. All the activities and jobs that we perform are made holy as we do them for God’s glory and for the good of others.
