Senior Blessing

High school graduation is a time of excitement and celebration! As one of our Skipping Stones, each of our seniors is invited to attend a special celebration of their achievement in graduation from High School. Graduates wear their cap and gowns for worship on the morning of the blessing. They’ll read the prayers and lessons, and lead special music. During worship, the congregation will bless them as they move into this new phase in their lives.
