Is your child or grandchild gearing up for a new school year? We invite all students—preschool through college—to bring their backpacks to worship on Sunday, August 17 for a special Backpack Blessing during the 11:00 am service.

During Children’s Time, we’ll offer a blessing over each student as they prepare for the year ahead. Every child will receive a backpack tag as a reminder that they are loved, supported, and surrounded in prayer throughout the school year.

We also invite you to take a few moments to pray for all students, teachers, and school staff across our Dallas-area schools—including UTD, Dallas Colleges, and other local universities. May this school year be filled with growth, connection, and hope.
