Back to School Blessing & Worship Service
Sunday, August 18, 10:30 a.m.
West-Ark Auditorium
900 N. Waldron Road, Fort Smith, AR
Let us pray for you all year!
August 18 is Back-to-School Blessing Sunday!
West-Ark is keeping one of its favorite traditions, the Back-to-School Blessing. On Back-To-School Blessing Sunday, we make a special effort to bless our school children, college students, teachers and school workers. This Sunday begins a personal commitment to praying for these individuals. Here is why we do the Back-to-School Blessing:
- Praying is every Christian’s ministry. The Spirit distributes different gifts as they are needed, but every child of God is given the privilege to pray. The Back-to-School Blessing gives our members the opportunity to focus on praying for specific individuals. On August 18, you will be able to take a card with the name of a student, teacher, or education worker. Your pledge in taking that card is to pray for that person during the upcoming school year. Your prayer is a ministry to that person, and over the years we have heard how our students and teachers/educators have been blessed because someone like you is ministering to them through prayer.
- West-Ark has a particular calling to Campus, Kids, Healing, and Hope. The Back-to-School Blessing fits all four of these. Our first ministry to our campus ministry and our youth is to pray for them. We also believe that by praying for our schools and our young people, we are contributing to the healing of our community and our nation with the hope that our God is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine.
- It is unifying. The Back-to-School Blessing illustrates how all generations work together in God’s plan. Also, it brings together all of our schools – our public, private, college, Christian, and home schools. We include just about everyone in this event. Everyone can pray and everyone needs prayers.
- It is mission work. Our best opportunities for evangelism in this region will be through our schools. We have many stories that testify to this. When Jesus noticed that the fields were white for the harvest, he told his disciples to begin by praying to the Lord of the harvest.
Get ready for the Back-to-School Blessing. If you are new to our church family and work in a local school (home, public, private, etc.), we want to know. Send us an email at office@westark.org.
As extracurricular events are beginning before the official start of school, please invite your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to the August 18 Back-to-School Blessing.

Presented by Dr. Michael Cole on Sunday evening, February 24, 2013.
Ex 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and ALL that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
Ex 31:17 ‘It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’
Job 38-42:6 . . . answer thou me . . .
Psm 8:3 When I consider {“with stars”} Your heavens, the work of YOUR fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained
Psm 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And ALL the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
Psm 104:5-9 You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever, You covered it with the deep as with a garment; The waters stood above the mountains. At Your rebuke they fled; At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which You did appoint for them. You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, That they may not return to cover the earth.
Ecc 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.
Ecc 3:20 All are from the dust, and all return to dust.
Isa 45:12, 18 I have made the earth, and created man on it. It was I — My hands that stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded. . . . For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is no other.
Isa 48:13 Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens; when I call to them, they stand up together.
Isa 55:9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.
Jer 31:35-37 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, Who disturbs the sea, and its waves roar (the LORD of hosts is His name): “If those ordinances depart from before Me,” says the LORD, “Then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.” Thus says the LORD: “If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done,” says the LORD.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Mt 19:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at THE BEGINNING ‘made them male and female,'”
Mk 10:6 But FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION, God “made them male and female.”
Lk 17:26-27 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them ALL.
Acts 14:15 [Barnabas & Paul said] “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and ALL things that are in them
Acts 17:24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.
Acts 17:26 And He has made FROM ONE BLOOD every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their habitation
Rom 1:19-22 Because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the CREATION OF THE WORLD His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, Because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools
I Cor 11:8-9 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
Heb 1:10 You, Lord, IN THE BEGINNING laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of YOUR hands;
Heb 3:4 For every house is built by someone, but He who built ALL THINGS is God.
Heb 4:3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said: “So I swore in My wrath, they shall not enter My rest,” although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Heb 9:26 He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. [The verse indicates men have sinned “since the foundation of the world.”]
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
I Pet 3:20 Who formerly were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
II Pet 2:5 And did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly
II Pet 3:3-8 Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, And saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION.” For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, By which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which now exist are kept in store by the same word, reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Rev 4:11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created ALL THINGS, and by Your will they exist and were created.
Rev 10:6 And swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it
