Get Ready for a Blessing-Filled Back-to-School Event!

Sunday, Aug. 11th, 2023 @ 10:00AM

SCOTTSDALE, AZ North Scottsdale United Methodist Church (NSUMC) is gearing up for a heartwarming celebration as a new school year kicks off! Join us on Sunday, August 11th at 10:00 AM for our “Blessing of the Backpacks” a special worship service featuring blessings for kids, educators, and even their mobile devices and backpacks.

As part of this event, we're collecting backpacks and school supplies to donate to the Vista del Camino Community Center in south Scottsdale. This event is free and open to everyone, so come on down and help celebrate this special milestone with families.

Every student who attends will receive a FREE backpack tag—a constant reminder that God is with them in their daily life, and their church family is praying for them throughout the school year.

Teachers, we've got something special for you too! The first 20 educators to sign-up at the NSUMC greeters’ desk on August 11th will receive a $25 Amazon gift card to help with classroom supplies. Just bring your current school ID to participate.

Even if you don't have students at home, you can still participate and make a difference. Consider donating backpacks and school supplies, which will be blessed and distributed to families in need through Vista del Camino Community Center. This wonderful facility offers after-school care, clothing, food, and financial support to less fortunate children. Julia Bautista, Director of Special Programs at Vista del Camino, shared her excitement: “We look forward to the NSUMC Back-to-School Supply Drive. While the city of Scottsdale had huge success helping over 800 students in July, we still have requests to fill.”

Mark your calendars and join us for a morning of back-to-school blessings and giving back. Let's help inspire our students and educators to do their personal best and let them know we’re praying for them every step of the way!
