Blessing of the Teachers and Backpacks AND Family Sunday!
2023-08-13 11:00 - 12:00 | Sanctuary, 5206 Balcones Drive, Austin, TX, 78731
This Sunday is going to be especially busy as we gear our worship service toward children, focused on the book “Character Kids Save The Day!”
The service is highly interactive for our kids, and is fun for all ages. We will read the book and learn how its message connects to our faith as our kids head back to school. Along those same lines, it is also the Blessing of the Teachers and Blessing of the Backpacks!
This is an annual tradition at Highland Park, where we put a trinket on our students’ (of all ages) backpacks, and bless the school year that is to come. In the same way, we bless the teachers as they head into a new year, and send them off with a small gift from HP.
We hope you’ll join us for this fun and exciting Sunday!

NAMI’s mission is close to the heart of HP and its members. ALL people are uniquely created in the image of God and deserve love and acceptance! NAMI is a fantastic representation of that eternal truth.
The team is headed up by Becky Dillard, who is very passionate about this issue! We would love for you to sign up to either walk, or to donate money if you can’t do so. We often walk together, and Becky will be sure to communicate to everyone where to meet and how to walk together. It’s great fun, and all the proceeds go to a fantastic cause.
It takes place on Saturday morning, September 30 from 7:30am-12pm at The Long Center for the Performing Arts.
Sign up for The Church @ HP’s team or donate here!
