August 24, 2025 (Sun)- Blessing of the Backpacks Church Service and Preschool Open House (More details to come)
Blessing of the Backpacks: Mark your calendar for this annual event on Sunday, August 24. You are invited to participate in any/all aspects of this event, including Church Service (10am), Lunch (immediately following church service), and/or Preschool Open House (approximately 11am-12:30pm).
The Church Service will begin in the Sanctuary (front of building door 1) at 10am. This will be a kid friendly service geared toward kids with special activities for the kids! Students of any age can bring their backpack for a special backpack tag and blessing for a great school year. Immediately following the service, there will be food and activities in the back parking lot (or CFC door 6 depending on weather). For about an hour or while supplies last, Southminster will have hot dogs and other treats and the Preschool is providing dessert! Southminster will host activities for the kids, and the Preschool (door 10) will also be open at this time (approximately 11am-12:30pm) for anyone to walk through and visit rooms. By this event, you will have received in the mail the “Back to School” packet with teacher/room assignment. Although not all the staff will be at the event, you will be able to tour your child's classroom, play for a bit, and weather permitting explore the playground. This is an extra opportunity to help your child feel comfortable at AGSP prior to their first day. If you attend the Open House August 24th, I would love it if you could drop off your completed paperwork to the preschool office (which will be mailed in the Back to School Packet) so that I can get a head start on processing paperwork.
You are welcome to participate in any part of this event that you would like!
Hope to see you here!
