We’re excited to share with you a FREE Blessing of the Backpacks and Back-to-School Worship Liturgy!
Our worship liturgy includes a Call to Worship, Opening Prayer, Blessing of the Backpacks Liturgy, Prayers of the People, Closing Prayer, and a Benediction.
For years, Illustrated Ministry has created illustrated tags for the Blessing of the Backpacks. Many churches participate in something like this as part of their back-to-school traditions. This year, for our sixth backpack tag design, we are excited to share our “You Got This” Backpack Tags.
These backpack tags have been extremely popular, and we’ve seen customers use them in incredibly creative ways.
- Some churches printed out the tags in color and laminated them to make luggage tags for backpacks, suitcases, briefcases, purses, and more!
- Others used the design to make shrinky-dinks that they turned into keychains for folx in their congregations.
- Some even used the illustration and made buttons for their community.
Blessing of the Backpacks and Back-to-School Worship Liturgy
Each year, we also receive many requests from folx for a written liturgy for their blessing of the backpacks. This year, we’ve created one! But with all that you are planning for the academic year, we wanted to gift you with more than just a blessing of the backpacks liturgy; we included additional liturgical elements that you may wish to include in a back-to-school worship service.
As you plan your Blessing of the Backpacks this year, we hope these additional components from this free resource will ease your planning. Whether it’s in the Call to Worship, the Prayers of the People, or the Benediction, this free resource provides you with options that are ready to be used in your service.
