We so enjoyed working with you this year to bring your faith expression to life. Your service on Sunday was, indeed, a lovely and characteristic expression of your class's personality as people of faith.<br />
<br />
We hope this experience gives you inspiration and courage to keep talking about what you are so good at---being the light! As you graduate and move on, we hope this moment of worship and reflection will stay with you, calling you ever to return to this core of who you are....a lamp set on a stand, a city on a hill, meant to be seen and heard.<br />
<br />
Have a great summer and a good start into the next chapter of your lives! We will be thinking of you and saying a prayer for you!<br />
<br />
Also, please pass the word along to those who are even now becoming next year's seniors! Make sure they know to be on the lookout for the chance to help plan Baccalaureate 2013!<br />
<br />
Shine, friends, SHINE!<br />
<br />
