Welcoming Sunday

Join us as Sunday, September 28 at 11 a.m. as we gather for Welcoming Sunday—a time to reconnect after summer and celebrate the start of a new season together. During worship we will share a special Blessing of the Backpacks. Anyone heading back to school—students of all ages, teachers, professors, staff members, bus drivers, or anyone with a role in education—is invited to bring along a backpack, computer bag, or other school-related item. Together we will ask God’s blessing on the year ahead, praying for learning, growth, friendship, and safety in every classroom and community.

This is also a wonderful opportunity to invite a friend, neighbour, or family member to experience the warmth of our church family. All are welcome!
