Blessing of the Backpacks 

2017 Blessing of the Backpacks
​Mission project update:
WOW! Thank you to our congregation! You supplied Vista del Camino with 89 backpacks, over 50 pounds of student supplies and $100's of dollars in donations (that will be used for children's clothing). Thank you to Carey Johnson for delivering all of this to Vista del Camino! So proud of our generous members!​

 This  is our first milestone of the school year.  It will occur on August 13, 2017 during our 10:00 a.m. worship service. This milestone is a way to bless our children and their teachers as they return to school.  All children and teachers are invited to bring their backpacks to church to receive a blessing on the backpack and themselves.  They will also receive a backpack tag to serve as a daily remind them that their church family is praying for the throughout the year. 

Church members without students at home are encouraged to purchase new backpacks that will be donated to our local Vista del Camino Center in southern Scottsdale to support the families who do not have the ability to supply these materials to their own children.​
