First Christian To Host "Blessing Of The Backpacks" Service Sunday

  • Friday, August 12, 2016

First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), will host a “Blessing of the Backpacks” during worship this Sunday. All children will be invited to bring their backpacks to worship, where our pastors will lead the congregation in a special blessing for the beginning of the new school year. 

Educators (active or retired!) are also encouraged to attend, to receive a blessing on their good work with the entire community's children.  If you parent a child, care for a child, are an educator, or care for an educator, you are encouraged to attend!

Located at 650 McCallie Avenue, across from UTC, all are welcome at First Christian Church. Email Rev. Brandon Gilvin at brandon@firstchristian-chat.com or call 423-267-4506 for more information.
