Blessing of the Backpacks Tags and Resources

Our church participated in our community back-to-school fair and it was a simple way to give a little love to kids going back to school, and it was cost effective.

Preparing for Pentecost

May 18, 2021 By Traci Smith Leave a Comment

Pentecost is the day when the Holy Spirit comes from heaven like a rushing wind. It’s full of symbolism… flame, wind, water, the dove. It’s a rich time to do fun crafts or activities as a family to celebrate this important day in the Christian year. The color of pentecost is RED.
