Blessing of the Backpacks

Students (and teachers) of all ages are encouraged to bring their backpacks (laptop bags, etc)  to worship Sunday, August 25 so that we may bless the bags our students and teachers will carry throughout the school year. This blessing symbolizes the wider support each student and teacher will receive from their church family as they journey through another year of learning. We will also be officially "dedicating" our teachers and volunteers at St. John's for the school year on this day.
