Holy Trinity's Blessing of the Backpacks

The first day of school is fast approaching! Our second annual Holy Trinity Parish Blessing of the Backpacks will be held Sunday, August 3 at the 8:00 and 10:00 services. Students of all ages, teachers, administrators, and educators of all sorts are invited to bring their packs. We will offer a special blessing for the school year, and participants will receive a special token for their packs to remind them of God's love and presence. We will also collect backpacks and school supplies (pencils, glue, scissors--anything) for local students in need. Drop off supplies at the church office; the entrance is the door closest to the church parking lot. If you wish to make a monetary donation: Make checks out to "Holy Trinity Parish Preschool," with "School Supplies" in the memo line, and either drop it in the collection plate during Sunday services, or bring or mail it to the parish office.
