Blessing of the Backpacks

Starting a new school year is a big deal—for kids and grown-ups. We invite you to join us for Akita Sunday and the Blessing of the Backpacks at 11 am at First Community North on Sunday, August 17.


Bring your backpack to this joyful worship service as we:

• Celebrate a summer filled with fun, faith, and friendship at Camp Akita

• Send students, teachers, and school staff off with a special blessing for the year ahead

Whether you're heading into preschool or leading a classroom, this blessing is for you. Come be surrounded by support, and community as the new school year begins!
