Blessing of the Backpacks 🎒 A new school year is here, and this past Sunday, our students brought their backpacks to church as we prayed over them, their teachers, their classmates, and the year ahead. We’re grateful for the opportunity to surround our kids with prayer as they head into a new season of learning, growing, and making a difference. 💛
Our Student Ministry also prepared a special gift for each student, along with lunchbox notes for parents to tuck into their kids’ lunches throughout the school year. Each note pairs a Bible verse with an encouraging, practical reminder, helping kids carry a little bit of God’s Word with them wherever they go.
From fruit snacks reminding us that our actions should show what’s in our hearts, to applesauce encouraging us to grow in the fruit of the Spirit, each treat points students back to Jesus and gives them a simple way to put their faith into practice.
Pray with us for our students as they begin the new school year! 📚
