On Sunday, September 13th, WellSprings celebrated our annual “WellCome Back” Sunday – the special service which marks the end of summer and a return to the work, school, and worship schedules we follow through most of the year. At the end of this all ages service, we celebrate with bubbles!
As part of this special service, we had our “Blessing of the Backpacks”. All students (of any age!) were asked to bring their backpacks to Bell Hall to be blessed, and to receive a special gift from our community that they can keep with them, throughout the year. Gifts included stickers and keychains the students could choose themselves, that students could keep with their backpacks throughout the year to carry those blessings with them.
