St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church: Blessing of the Backpacks, Briefcases & Blackberries

 

Celebrate the beginning of a new school year! On Sunday, August 28th, we will have a special "Blessing of Backpacks, Briefcases & Blackberries" during our 10:00AM service. Students of all ages, bring your backpacks, and grown-ups, bring your briefcases or any other symbol of your work. We'll place them around the altar, and ask for God's blessing on our vocations of study and work as we begin a new program year. Invite your friends and neighbors.
