Celebrate Back-to-School with us!
BLESSING of the BACKPACKS MILESTONE Sunday, 8/12/18 @ 8:30 a.m. & 10:00 a.m. |
|
North Scottsdale United Methodist Church would like to send children back to school with a blessing and a Good Shepherd Cross backpack tag.
All children are invited to bring their backpack to church on Sunday August 12th, 2018 so both they and their backpacks can be blessed at both our 8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. worship service.
These backpacks are our children’s constant companions as they go about their school days, so the pastors of NSUMC would like to bless them. After the blessing, they will give each child a tag to put on their backpack to remind them that God is with them in their daily life and that their church family will be praying for them throughout the year.
Don't have any students at home? All are invited to be a blessing to other less fortunate children by purchasing a NEW backpack and bringing it to the church that Sunday. These new backpacks will be distributed to Vista del Camino Recreational Center in south Scottsdale.
