Back-to-school is a special time at Resonate. Every year, we take the Sunday before school starts to say a blessing over our children. The idea of blessing has been around since the beginning. When God first made humans, he blessed them. In the desert, God taught Aaron and the priests to bless his people.
The concept of blessing is a unique one. On one hand, you’re sharing your wishes and hopes for your child. On the other, you are placing God’s favor, grace, and power into the life of your child. It’s both a practical and spiritual practice.
This year, we are doing things a little differently. The whole Sunday morning will be geared around the idea of blessing. We will explore both the ways we are blessed and how we want to see God bless others. This day of celebration will culminate with a potluck feast.
