Get ready to kick off the school year with a sharpened focus on praising God at Pencil-Palooza! This unique, pencil-themed event is designed to bring families together for a time of prayer, praise, and back-to-school fun.

Through creative, pencil-themed stations, families will engage in prayer, Scripture, and reflection together. From writing God’s Word to packing pencil pouches with prayer, each activity points kids and families toward a faith-filled school year.

Families will leave with a prayer-packed pencil pouch, a pencil that has been blessed, a backpack tag, and a new “Pencil Prayer Pal” family to encourage and pray for all year long!

It includes 7 pencil-themed stations, the printables needed for them, plus a few extras! Also included are marketing tools like social media graphics and flyers so you can promote your event.
