From the Pastor's Desk:
Today is graduation Sunday! We congratulate our High School seniors: Corey Markos, Faith Lloyd, and Ewan Donovan. And... we congratulate our two Pre-K: Raelynn Greer and Isabel Halloran. All of our graduates worked hard to achieve this milestone event in their lives. But we all know graduation is not the end ... it's the beginning of their future. These young people will continue to grow into adulthood. They will seek further education, a career, a spouse. Along the way, they will experience great accomplishments, and they will experience challenges and some heartaches of life. All in all, no matter what may come their way, we must encourage them to "stay the course." My advice to our graduates is to stay grounded in the Lord. Continue to study and read God's Word. Keep all the Biblical and foundational truths that you've learned over the years tucked in your heart. Know and believe these truths. The world is an evil place ... and it's only going to get worse. Satan wants to destroy you and your walk with God. Don't make it easy for him. Be aware. Heed the warnings. Flee from Satan's presence. Be a disciple of Jesus. Be an example of a bold, courageous, on-fire Christian! Church, let us commit to pray for and encourage this year's graduates. May we stand by them and support them and lead them to be solid disciples of Christ and future church leaders!
