We all live in the “school of life” and yet life has its seasons. As our children’s school year begins yet again, let’s take the opportunity to reflect with intention on our third and fourth principles – support, acceptance, and encouragement towards spiritual growth, and a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.  During the service we will also honor those principles through our Blessing of the Backpacks, an expression of love and support for all who undertake the challenges of learning and growing, especially in these trying circumstances.
