Back to School Backpack Blessing

Back-to-school can be exciting—and a little overwhelming.
New classrooms. New teachers. New routines. Whether you're a student, teacher, or parent, this time of year can bring big feelings.

That’s why we want to bless you—and your backpack—as you start this new season.

💬 What to Expect:
Join us during worship at either service—9am (Contemporary) or 11am (Traditional)—Bring your backpack, briefcase, diaper bag, or any bag for a moment of prayer and a special tag to remind you all year:
✨ God’s got your back.

🎁 Every child will receive a small gift
🎟 Enter to win a Back-to-School Survival Gift Basket
☕ Enjoy fun refreshments and coffee
👶 Nursery care available during both services
🧒 Kern Kids meets at 10am between services

No need to RSVP—just come!
But feel free to click “Interested” or “Going” so we can pray for you and your family as you begin the new school year.
Tag a friend and invite them to come with you. We’d love to see you there!
