Senior Recognition Sunday
Sunday, May 17 2026
What is this?
We'll recognize our high school graduates and send them into the world with a service of Blessing and Godspeed. This day is for all high school seniors – they do not have to be active in the youth group to participate.
The Details for our graduating Seniors and their parents
Time: High school seniors should arrive between 9:45am - 10am to pick out a quilt, take pictures & selfies infront of the decorted cake in Fellowship Hall, & enjoy some cake before the service begins! Once the 9:00 service lets out, you may go into the Sanctuary to pick out your quilt and save seating for your family.
Location: Sanctuary & Fellowship Hall
Homework due by Friday, May 1:
1) RSVP - Hit the button below to lead you to the form. The form will ask you to list your grad's future plans. We'll include this information during the service and our Life Together publication.
2) What if you can't attend? - Please let us know on the form. We would like to hear from all high school seniors, even those who are unable to attend the service.
3) Email a picture to Diane - Pics are for the slideshow to be shown during this special service. It should represent their high school years, or a senior picture will do just fine. We want to include all seniors in the presentation, so please observe the deadline; Friday, May 1.
What to expect (for graduates and their parents if attending the service)
1) Arrive at 9:45am to pick out a quilt in the Sanctuary - At 9:45am please head to the front of the Sanctuary so that students can pick out a quilt of their own. Quilts will be hanging on the back of the first and second row of pews. And, if you arrive early enough, feel free to take pictures and selfies next to the decorated cake in f.Hall. If you show up early, there will be plenty of time to enjoy some cake in Fellowship Hall :-)
2) Sit together as a family - During the worship service we will ask all graduates to come forward with their quilt for a service of Blessing and Godspeed.
3) Will there really be cake? - Yes! Stop by Fellowship Hall before or after services, to enjoy some cake and frosting!
