Back-to-School Blessing

"I am with you always."
Matthew 28:20

When you are shopping for school supplies, buy any extras that you can afford and donate them to Leaps and Bounds, Simon House, Orchards Childrens Services, or any agency that can provide these items for students who would otherwise struggle to purchase needed supplies

Before you and your family donate school supplies, bless them by saying a prayer over them for the child(ren) who might receive them.

On the night before school begins, lay out your backpacks to bless them and the teachers who will help you learn this year. Ask your parents to lay their hands on your heads and say a blessing for a healthy, happy, successful school year.
