Rally Sunday & Blessing of the Backpacks
August 28, 2016
Join us Sunday, August 28th as we kick off the new school year! Bring your backpack to church to be blessed at any of the services. At 10:10, enjoy sundaes for Sunday School! Come sign up your kids and youth for Sunday School, eat ice cream, make giant bubbles, learn about Adult Formation classes this year, get a taste of Godly Play and the Lego experience we’re bringing into Children’s Chapel, and more.
This year, we will also be collecting school supplies for a class of kindergartners at Caliber Beta Academy in Richmond, which serves a highly disadvantaged population of children. Please pick up some things from this list and bring them to the baskets in the narthex on August 28th to help these kids have a great school year too. The class needs:
– Pencils
