Blessing of the Backpacks - Details and Resources
Our Annual Blessing of the Backpacks will be held on Sunday, August 13th at all three services (8,9:30 & 11am). Children and teens will not only receive a blessing for their school year, but they will also receive a zipper pull to remind them that God is always with them. Parents can pick up information from our Connect at Home Center on how to give additional blessings on the first day of school and beyond. You can also find this and other resources below or request addition Faith Path building materials.

Fully Embrace Your Child's Uniqueness
Every child needs to experience something the scriptures call "the blessing".
WHAT IS THE BLESSING? The blessing is a powerful tool with which we communicate acceptance and genuine commitment. The word comes from the ancient practice of weighing coins on a scale to determine value. Blessing someone “adds value” to his or her life. We see in scripture the word bless or blessing used almost seven hundred times. The Bible also gives us great evidence that our God is a God of blessing. We receive that blessing from our Heavenly Father and have the wonderful opportunity to pass it on.
As your faith partner, we offer free kits to guide you through each Faith Path Step. Each kit includes a training video, guide, starter ideas, and other helpful elements.
