Sunday September 12, 2021 – Blessing of the Backpacks

Experiencing Creation with All Our Senses: Touch
Blessing of the Backpacks

Today’s service includes a Blessing of the Backpacks. You are invited to bring backpacks or bags to the screen for this blessing, or anything that for you symbolizes our students and educators who have just returned to school (even drawing a picture of a backpack or an apple on a piece of paper). If you appreciate the blessing and would like to send it to someone you know, we are also sharing a link to just this part of the service. For those joining on Zoom, we will also share an additional responsive prayer for students and educators.

Today we begin the Season of Creation with the first week of our series “experiencing creation with all of our senses.” We begin with the sense of touch, and hear of Jesus teaching about the importance of being like children.

This morning we begin a musical fall, with a full quartet leading our hymns, sung responses, and anthem. You will notice that there is more recording in our beautifully renovated sanctuary, as we continue to learn about the A/V system and how it can work for us.

Come for our Stories and Makers Nest starting at 9:55am, or any time before our 10:30am service. If you are watching on YouTube, join Zoom at 11am for a time of conversation.
