Promotion Sunday & Blessing of the Backpacks

Promotion Sunday
It is that time of year when we celebrate the promotion of our school age students up one grade level and our preschoolers move up by age. Sunday, August 20th will be the day your child will begin checking in and attending their new class. Their new teachers are excited to meet them and kick off a fun year where they will form lasting relationships with God, with the Church and with members of their faith community.
Blessing of the Backpacks
Remember to bring your backpacks to church on August 20th for the Blessing of the Backpacks. We will say a special prayer for the new year in all three services!
