Mission Impossible Building a Community of Students on Mission

Graduate Recognition Sunday – June 6th

Dear Seniors and Families:

The end of the school year is rapidly approaching and our seniors will soon begin a new chapter of their lives. Every year our church takes a moment to pause and recognize our graduates and bless them during a special Sunday service. We want our graduates to see and understand the love we have for them as they start a new phase of life.

This year our Graduate Recognition Sunday is June 6th at the  9:29 a.m. service in the Chapel where our graduates will be recognized and blessed by the Student Ministry. At the 11 a.m. service in the Sanctuary our graduates will be recognized as part of the service and have the opportunity to participate by serving communion.

We are asking our graduating seniors and their families to join us for this special time in the life of our church. Graduates will have a reserved seating area in the front of the church for the service. We also ask that the graduates would wear their cap and gown as part of the services.

We are creating a video to present at the services as part of our celebration of our students’ achievements. Each graduate is requested to provide up to 4 photographs of themselves along with some details regarding their next steps in life. These images and quotes along with a few short video clips will be used to create our video.

Deadline for information and image submission is Sunday May 30th.

Submissions can be delivered to the church office or emailed. If you are interested in serving communion at the 11 a.m. service, please include that in your submission.

Sincerely yours,

Michael J. McCrystal

Director of Student Ministries
