The Year is Starting... |
I know, I know, New Years is in January, but we all know that the year really starts in September. Sunday School kick-off will be Sunday September 12. This year we will be starting Sunday School at 9:50 to give parents time to get to church before the service starts and the teachers a few more minutes with the kids.
We will start on the front lawn (or in the parish hall if it's raining) on the 12th - Bless the Backpacks and send the youth off to Sunday School with joy and then proceed into the church. Please come and bring your backpack and school supplies to donate to School 6 in Buffalo. |

Backpack Blessing - September 12 |
 We did a blessing of the backpacks combined with a school supply collection at the beginning of the school year last year - it has become a Diocesan wide event this year. We will be blessing backpacks, students and teachers at the 10 a.m. service on September 12. This is also our Sunday School kick-off day - so it will be a celebration of learning - more to come on this - but we are currently collecting school supplies for School 6 in Buffalo - so please stock up at the back-to school sales. All school supplies are welcome, but especially back packs, pencils, pens, notebooks and notebook paper, glue sticks and rulers. School supply donations may be placed in the labeled bin in the kitchen hallway. Thank you! |
