To Our Graduating Seniors:

Graduation is more than a ceremony; it’s a turning point. It’s where preparation meets purpose. And while it may feel like you’re stepping into the unknown, remember this truth: God is already there. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.” —Jeremiah 29:11 This promise doesn’t mean every path will be smooth. It means you are never alone.

Whether you’re heading to college, starting a job, serving in the military, or still figuring things out. God walks with you. Let me encourage you to remember three simple things going forward: One: Stay Close to Jesus. Make time for prayer, for the Word, and for worship. The world may pull you in many directions, but only Christ leads to life. Two: Choose Friends Who Strengthen Your Faith. Surround yourself with people who help you grow closer to God, not away from Him. Three: Serve Wherever You Are. Kindness, integrity, humility, and love are ways to shine Christ’s light every day.
