Blessing of the Backpacks
September 21st, 2025, 10 am
It has been a magical season this summer, friends, as we have learned about ourselves, the world, the divine, and our neighbors through the lessons of the beasts and birds and organisms all around us.
But we are excited to launch into fall, with a new season and a blessing of the backpacks as our community members prepare to get back in the classroom for a new school year. So this Sunday, September 8th, in addition to launching our new season, we will also be doing a blessing of the backpacks. So if anyone in your household is going back to school soon, we invite them to bring their backpacks!
AND our neighbor kiddos in our local schools are in great need right now of blessing too! Wichita center has asked if we can contribute school supplies like backpacks, college-ruled composition notebooks, pink erasers, and permanent markers for some of our neighbors. Wichita continues to see more and more families in our community and could use some help! So if you are able to bring any of those items this Sunday, that would be so amazing!
