Let's give our blessing to all of our students in preparation for the new school year! Bring your school backpacks to the Service, and we'll bless them so that they're more than mere tools for carrying books and papers and pens: they will be companions to you in our place.
This is a ritual for students of all ages, including on-line and home-schooled children.
