EXCITING NEWS!! We will celebrate the start of school with a Blessing of the Backpacks ceremony on September 15 during worship. No one is too young–or too old–to have their bag blessed so bring your backpack, your briefcase, your messenger bag, lunchbox, purse, tote bag, diaper bag, or fanny pack to service and we will fill it up with love. Rev. Marcus will offer a blessing and everyone will get a special UUCB tag to attach to their bag.
