Please join us for the Backpack Blessing & Mess Fest Summer Festival on Sunday, August 18!

Things to know:

• We are broadly inviting the community to this event and could use lots of helping hands to ensure all runs smoothly. There are opportunities to assist before, during and after the festival. Please sign up here.
• Community festivals are happening all over the city, and we'd love to make ours stand out by being exceptionally hospitable and welcoming to new faces. We encourage you to wear your name tag, introduce yourself, start conversations and help people find their way around!
• There will be no bike parking available on Sunday, August 18 due to set up that day. Please plan accordingly.
• Due to set up, the tower doors to the sanctuary will not be an accessible entrance/exit on August 18; please plan to enter through the cloister doors near the courtyard.
• Please feel comfortable wearing light, casual clothing; don't forget a hat or sunglasses and sunscreen.
• Kids & youth are welcome to wear a bathing suit under their clothing; don't forget a towel! Remember backpacks for the blessing at the 10 a.m. service.
