Backpack Blessing: What's in Your Invisible Backpack?
Robyn Travers
Mila is excited—and a little worried—about her first day of school. We all know that feeling: heading into something new and unknown.
In The Invisible String Backpack by Patrice Karst, Mila discovers that she has an invisible backpack filled with all the tools she needs to face whatever comes her way. And the wonderful thing is, we all have one, too!
Join us for this multigenerational service as we explore what we carry with us—love, courage, kindness, connection, and so much more.
Bring your backpack! Or bring whatever you carry through your day: a purse, work bag, computer case, tote, or anything else. We’ll bless these everyday companions for the year ahead.
Help a child start the school year ready! Please also bring new school supplies to donate to children in need.
Come discover what’s inside your invisible backpack!
