From Our Pastor

Today is a day of celebration.  We are celebrating our graduates and their achievements.  They have toiled, studied, and completed coursework to arrive at this time of recognition of their efforts and achievements. We pause to celebrate their preparation and beginning a new phase of life.  Graduation is not an endpoint.  It is a beginning.  It is a launching pad into a new stage of life.
 
Congrats grads!
