Immanuel Lutheran Church will be hosting the popular “Backpacks, Blessings and Barbecue” event on Sunday, August 14 and Christie’s Dairy Delights will be serving free ice cream during the barbecue portion! The day is sure to be a crowd-pleaser and will include community worship, a “backpack blessing,” and a barbecue for all. Students and educators are encouraged to bring along their backpacks, totes, or briefcases to be blessed. K-9 Comfort Dogs from Lutheran Church Charities will be available for petting and hugs!

This event is open to the entire community and all ages!
