BACK TO SCHOOL BLESSINGS
It’s Back to School time! Please stop by the Back to School table in the Connection Center on Sunday August 7 and August 14 to hear about Back to School serving opportunities.
Donate School Supplies and Backpacks-now through August 14
Help Grace and Friends of Westchase love our neighboring students and teachers this fall by donating school supplies and/or backpacks. You can conveniently purchase HERE or at the Back to School table on Sunday mornings for $20 each and then join us after worship on August 14 as we Stuff A Bus with supplies, uniforms and shoes for our partnering schools.
Stuff a Bus - Sunday, August 14
Immediately following worship before the equipping hour we will "Stuff a Bus" with school supplies, uniforms and shoes for our neighboring partner elementary and middle schools. There will be music, popsicles and an assembly line from the Welcome Center to the Plaza to the parking lot where an empty bus will be waiting for our Grace family to fill it up with back to school blessings.
Immunization Fair and Prayer Walk - August 17
Join us at Walnut Bend Elementary to help with our annual Immunization Fair. During this event, we will distribute school supplies to families in the community and spend time praying for the students in Westchase. Meet at 8 a.m. at Walnut Bend Elementary. Please RSVP to Kristy Elmore.
Student Mentoring - Sunday, August 28, 12:30 p.m. OR Wednesday, August 30th, 11:00 a.m.
Join us for lunch and learn more about becoming a mentor at Emerson Elementary, Walnut Bend Elementary or Paul Revere Middle School! We'll meet in the 3rd Floor conference room to discuss timing, expectations, and hear some incredible stories about being transformational in the life of a student. Please RSVP to Kristy Elmore by Friday, August 26.
Bless A Teacher - August
Teachers loved being connected with a prayer partner last year! This year, we hope to do even more to support and bless the teachers at Emerson Elementary, Walnut Bend Elementary and Paul Revere Middle School. Please consider signing up to be a prayer partner - we will gather after equipping hour quarterly to do something fun and special to bless the teachers this year (ie, snack bags, school supplies surprises, etc.) Sign up at the Back to School Table on Sundays July 24-August 14th or email Kristy Elmore for more information.
