Back to School Blessing

Much of Dallas and the surrounding school districts are back to learning in some form or fashion this week. Since COVID and its deleterious effects began in March, life has not been anything close to normal. But the return of school promises some semblance of what we once knew. The weather wants to cool off, students are primed for a fresh start, and teachers courageously want to reconnect with their pupils. 

This Sunday Katie Lemming, our Children’s Ministry Coordinator, will have Back to School Blessing Bags for all families with students pre-K through 5th grade. Complete with worship at home resources, Katie and her husband JD have dreamed up these bags that will surely be a blessing for all who receive them. For those participating in the limited capacity in-person service, they can pick up their bags following the service. For those not able to come, Katie will have the bags ready for you to drive through and receive.  

I invite your prayers for the many teachers and students who call St. Bart’s home. Pray for Martha Reilly Elementary just a few blocks from the church, for Hill Junior High, and Hexter Elementary. This season offers much hope and promise. May God be gracious to us and our neighbors, shine the light of His countenance upon us, and grant us His peace. Amen.

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
