Back to School Blessing - Your Photos Needed

7/20/2020

 
​Even though Back to School is going to look very different this year, we would like to include a special blessing in our church service on August 16th. As part of the blessing, we are planning a slideshow showing our teachers and students. To be included, please send a picture of whatever "back to school" means for you or your student this year. It could be a picture with a backpack, at a desk, with a computer- anything that represents what this looks like for you this year.

Not heading back to school? Those who are could use your PRAYERS. We invite you to drive near a school in our community and pause to pray for the students and all who work there. After you've prayed, snap a photo of the building or grounds and submit it to be used during our Back to School Blessing in worship. 

Please upload your photos via the church website at
uccmanhattan.org/upload-portal OR e-mail to [email protected] by August 10.

We also want to say THANK YOU to the Ministry of the Decorative Scissors who lovingly prepared backpack tags for our students again this year. Students, look for your tag in the mail sometime in August and know that your church family is praying for you as you return to school.
