Are you ready for the beginning of the school year? We believe that the best way to begin another year is to pray for our teachers, students, administrators, and school staff members.
During worship on August 1st, we will have a "Blessing of the Backpacks." All students, children and youth, are encouraged to bring their backpacks and place them at the altar. Together, we'll bring forward our students and teachers and pray over them and their bags.
The Mt. Bethel Children's Ministry will also be collecting school supplies for those in need. These donations will be given to local schools as well as A Friend's House following the blessing. Anyone wishing to donate supplies (backpacks, paper, pens, pencils, etc.) can bring those items and place them in the boxes labeled "Back to School" in the fellowship hall and sanctuary.
