May and June are the seasons for graduation, and so this Sunday we honor our graduates including our Children’s program director Sheryl on her last Sunday with us. It’s a day of sending forth, a day of mixed emotions, of joy and sadness, of holding on & letting go. A day of recognizing, as in the beautiful words of Kahlil Gibran, “your children are not your children, they are the sons and daughter’s of life’s longing for itself.” http://www.katsandogz.com/onchildren.html
At the same time, it’s a recognition of the tremendous pressures on children these days, in our culture, and how it truly takes a village to raise our children. https://rightforeducation.org/2016/07/it-takes-a-whole-village/
I give thanks to this faith community, for sharing in making these dreams a reality.
Join us this Sunday, as we celebrate honor and support our graduates, of all ages, from our preschoolers, to our PHD students! Bring your graduates!
peace, Pastor Laurie
