Our time in worship on Sunday, September 6, will feature a "Blessing of the Backpacks." School's beginning is just around the corner, and Interim Pastor Larry Farris asks that all children and middle school youth of the congregation bring their school backpacks with them to worship at either the 9:30 or 11:00 a.m. service to get those backpacks blessed! Don't be shy, don't be embarrassed. This is a special moment to remember that Jesus is with us wherever we go and whatever we do, even school!
