As the traditional “Pomp and Circumstance” music began Sunday morning, May 22, six of the church’s nine graduating high school seniors marched into the service. Three of the graduates were unable to attend due to their work schedules or previous out-of-town commitments.
As each graduate was called forward by Pastor Casey Ferguson, each received a study Bible and were interviewed as to his/her future plans following graduation. This was followed by a prayer for each of the graduates.
