They contain stories of God s invitation, wondering questions and beautiful colouring pages all set to fit easily into your car! Backpacks of Blessing This summer, when you are shopping for back to school, could you add some new pencil crayons, or markers, or an extra backpack to your list? In past years, we have invited students to bring their back packs to be blessed and remember that God is with them always -even at school. This year, we thought that it would be wonderful to share God s love with other students who are also heading back to class but might not have school supplies for the fall. Please bring any school supplies you gather & your own backpack to be blessed on September 9, 2018. Page 5
