Blessing of the Backpacks Weekend of August 19-20

We ask parents to encourage their child/children to bring their school backpacks. Adults, please bring briefcases, or laptop cases, as well, for a blessing during our worship services on the weekend of August 19-20. This has been a treasured tradition at Bethlehem and this is the perfect opportunity to offer a blessing to our members as a new school year gets under way and the pace of work picks up for the fall for the entire family.
