Our Back to School Blessing on August 8th is open to all children and youth, preschoolers through high schoolers.  On that day, please bring your child(ren) to the playground/nursery before 10am just as you have been doing since re-gathering.  The children will be brought to the courtyard at the end of the worship service and will stand in a circle in the center of the courtyard. 

The congregation will exit the sanctuary and assemble, masked, around the courtyard under the overhang (Christmas Eve style).  We will bless the children and youth and sing our Alleluia together. 

We will then have the children step into Reimer Hall and invite parents to sign their children out from our childcare staff there.  We hope that you will join us as we send our children back to school with blessings for safety, care, learning, and compassion.
