In the midst of Commencement services, trustees meetings, and honorary degrees, our Community faced a death and birth -- one of our faculty members lost her mother this weekend, and one of our seminarians gave birth to a son. We say good-bye at the same time that we celebrate the new beginning, and in the midst of such busy-ness, this loss and this addition to our community mirror what our graduates are going through. As our grads depart from this place to enter into new ministries, they bid adieu to the familiar and enter into what is different. Good luck to all our graduates. May your ministries be fruitful.

From the beginning, again
In the midst of Commencement services, trustees meetings, and honorary degrees, our Community faced a death and birth -- one of our faculty members lost her mother this weekend, and one of our seminarians gave birth to a son. We say good-bye at the same time that we celebrate the new beginning, and in the midst of such busy-ness, this loss and this addition to our community mirror what our graduates are going through. As our grads depart from this place to enter into new ministries, they bid adieu to the familiar and enter into what is different. Good luck to all our graduates. May your ministries be fruitful.

They recognized all the high school grads at church on Sunday. Just takes a little "Pomp & Circumstance" for me to get all misty.
