Today at All Saints we had the blessing of the school bags
The children talked about what they carry in their school bags, pens, ruler, lunch box and so on. Then we talked about where God is and what Jesus meant when he said “I am with you always”. So that means, that when they walked through the school gates, he walked with them. They told me about the things they can take to school that don’t take up room in their school bags, but come from God. They suggested kindness, love, helpfulness and more. We talked about practical ways they could show these things to the other students and the teachers in school. Then we made little school bags in which they put lolly sticks, with these things written on them and a tag which had their name and the words “God is with me in school” written on them . In the photos they are showing their handiwork to the congregation and Mtr Fiona is blessing their real school bags.
