This year we had a total of 9 high school graduates. Some of them have been in the youth group for a long time while others have been more recent. At any rate we are very proud of all of them.
In order to make their graduation special our church set aside a time in the morning service to recognize each one of them. During that time we shared with the congregation few things about each high school senior – what they have accomplished, some memories and where they plan to go from here.
At the end of the service we invited everyone to eat some cake and congratulate the seniors. It has been a blessing to see church members hug and share words of affirmation and encouragement with our HS graduates.
Several months ago while talking to one of the seniors, he suggested that he would like to have as a gift some photos (old and new) from different events he participated in while in youth group. So, I decided to put together a slide show with all of the seniors and show it to the congregation. It was such a great idea!
