Blessing of the Backpacks

As we prepare for a new school year, all students are invited to bring their backpacks to worship on Sunday, August 16, 2026, for our special Blessing of the Backpacks.

During the service, we will offer a special blessing for each child, their backpack, and the school supplies they will carry throughout the year. We pray that God will guide, protect, and encourage our students, teachers, school staff, and families as they begin another year of learning and growth.

Whether you're starting preschool, heading off to college, or anywhere in between, we hope you'll join us for this meaningful tradition as we ask God's blessings for a safe, successful, and faith-filled school year.

Heavy rains on July 21 brought significant flooding to communities around the state, especially Lewis, Upshur, and Raleigh Counties. As emergency crews assess the impact, the Diocese will share how we can best support our neighbors in the days ahead.

Please consider a financial gift to the disaster response through the Episcopal Diocese of West Virginia: wvdiocese.org/donate — designate "Disaster Response" as the fund — or a special offering in your congregations over the next few weeks in order to support the long-term recovery ahead.

Please hold the people of our affected communities in your prayers as they navigate the days and weeks ahead.

Holy God, be present now with all those affected by the flooding across our state. Comfort those who have lost homes, possessions, and any sense of safety. Strengthen the hands of first responders and relief workers, and give wisdom to those coordinating the response. Draw us together in generosity and compassion, that no one may walk through this alone. In Christ's name.

Amen.

As Christians, we are storytellers of God’s love. From Creation to Christ—and through us—this love is meant to be shared. Just as Mary and Mary Magdalene spread the Good News, we too are called to share it with joy.

Your gifts and pledges help continue this story—feeding the hungry, offering hope, and showing God’s love in action.

Pledge faithfully. Give generously. Share joyfully.
