Created to Grow

Sunday, August 2

Celebrate God’s gifts of creation, community, and new beginnings at Grace Lutheran Church’s Created to Grow celebration.

We’ll begin the day with a special Youth-Led Worship Service at 10:00 AM, followed by a Blessing of the Backpacks. Students, teachers, school staff, and anyone beginning a new season are invited to bring a backpack, briefcase, tote, or work bag to receive a special blessing as we prepare for the year ahead.

Following worship, join us for a Family Festival from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM featuring fun, food, and activities for all ages, including:

• Bounce House
• Food & Treats
• School Supply Drive
• Backpack First-Aid Kit Activity
• Dental Hygiene Station
• Fellowship and family-friendly activities

Whether you’re part of Grace Lutheran or visiting for the first time, we’d love to welcome you. This free community event is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate together, connect with neighbors, and begin the school year surrounded by God’s love and encouragement.
