Blessing of the Back Packs/Back to School Bash

Description
At Christ the King, we celebrate the end of summer & the start of the new school with a picnic, a bounce house for the kid's, and a DJ. Prior to the celebration we collect school supplies to be distributed at local schools for children in need, and then during the Worship service we bless the backpacks and supplies, the children & their teachers, administrators, bus drivers, and school staff.
     *** In 2019, we packed 54 bags of basic supplies ***

Future Dates: August 8, 2021
