I hope that you all are doing well and you are having a great start to your summer. I have a special announcement for all of the Graduating Seniors. This next Sunday, June 12th, is Graduation Sunday, and we here at Elevate want to celebrate this monumental accomplishment. We will recognizing our seniors at the beginning of the service. I want to invite all of our Elevate seniors and their parents to attend this Sunday’s service.
At the service’s beginning, I will call our seniors up front with their parents to stand beside them, in alphabetical order according to their last name. Once everyone is upfront, I will hand a microphone to one of the parents standing with the student to read their blessing verse over their student. Please try to keep it to just the verse of blessing because we have several students to recognize for this accomplishment. We will keep moving right down the line until everyone has had a verse of blessing read over them by their parent. After that, I will pray over all our Graduates and their parents, and then everyone will return to their seats.
Every High School graduate will be receiving an Elevate journal and an Elevate alumni pin. Students do not need to be wearing their cap and gown for this. Parents, please have the verse you selected ready to be read. I will have paper copies on hand if needed.
I am looking forward to celebrating your student’s accomplishments this next Sunday!!
