As a new school year begins, join us for a special blessing for students, teachers, families, and our entire community.
Bring your backpack, briefcase, or work bag, as we pray for God’s guidance, courage, and love in every new season.
Whether facing the first day of school, starting a new job, or stepping into a new season of work, everyone deserves the reminder that God goes with us. We also invite our youth to be a source of encouragement within our Aldersgate church family by mentoring a younger child, offering support, friendship, and a caring presence as they grow, or simply walking alongside them on Sunday morning to help them feel a little braver for the first day of school!
