BACCALAUREATE SERVICE!!! [bak-uh-lawr-ee-it]
THIS SUNDAY, May
17th @ 9AM, In the Heaston Youth area... graduating high school students, their families and invited guests
will celebrate our graduates with a breakfast honoring them. We'll have a great
breakfast, fellowship and a time of praying together! It's always a great time
to be together and celebrate with our graduating students.
Later, in front of the entire congregation, during our regular worship time at Heaston,we will recognize the graduates and introduce them briefly and possibly learn and view a brief slideshow of their sweet little selves. : )
Just what is a BACCALAUREATE SERVICE anyway...?
A Baccalaureate is a centuries-old religious graduation
tradition that started in England, but in the United States, the term
generally refers to a non-denominational ceremony held a few days before
high school or college graduation. Baccalaureate ceremonies offer a quieter, more intimate opportunity to
pause and reflect on this rite of passage, [and] hear [others] members offer
advice to the graduating class. (source: about parenting)
