On August 10, 2025 we had "Blessing of the Backpacks" during children's moment. Everyone from daycare to college and teachers were asked to bring their backpack to church to receive a blessing for the upcoming school year. It's a way to acknowledge the importance of learning, offer encouragement, and express support for students, teachers, and the entire school community.
VBS was held July 7 - 10, 2025. We had a great time and the kids were so excited to return each day. Thank you to all that helped with VBS.
A huge thank you to everyone who helped out by supplying cookies, helping in the kitchen, providing meals and working with the children. All of you played such a huge part in our VBS success this year. I was so very concerned at first with only having a 2 week time frame to prepare everything and no kids registered, but we truly are a TEAM here at Friedens. I think back to Pastor Eric’s sermon last Sunday where he made the comment “this is above us” and I know that is where the success came from ultimately. We had 17 participants!!!!
