A special service where we pray God's blessing on us and all we do in our 9 to 5. In particular we pray for our children as they return for a new academic year. It is a fun and interactive service and people are encouraged to bring their school bags, work bags or something which represents what they do in their 9 - 5 as we remember God's presence with us wherever we are and in all we do.
