Here is a Blessing of the Backpacks you can do in church at the start of the school year to remind students that God blesses them each day of their lives as they reach out in faith as a blessing to others. This kit includes instructions for coordinating and presenting a 10-minute event, a script to bless the backpacks, a children’s sermon, tear-off notes for parents to put in their children’s backpacks and 10 luggage tags for the children to attach to their backpacks to share the great grace-filled message proclaimed in Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith!”
