Trinity/FBC Seniors

Today began a whirlwind of Senior activity for the last little Fain graduate! Senior Sunday at church has always been an exciting event--it begins in the Youth Center where all the families of seniors gather for breakfast and a major photo op! After Sunday School, they line up for the church service where they are each introduced and walk down the aisle to meet Jay, our pastor, and receive their gift. This group was given a small leather bound Bible that can be engraved with their name--perfect size to carry everywhere. During this time, many moms are getting teary-eyed and most of us remembered to bring our hankies just in case! The graduates line up in the aisles of the church after they receive their gift and then there's my favorite part---everyone who has worked with/taught/changed diapers and rocked them in the nursery/gone to youth camp/or any other church event is offered the opportunity to gather around and "lay hands" on a student. Stuart, our youth minister offers a prayer--this is a VERY touching moment in the service. Jay preached a wonderful sermon encouraging these seniors to let Christ guide them in all their decisions. After the service, we headed to the fellowship hall for lunch and the long awaited Senior Video! Everyone sends in about five pictures of their child with family and friends, and these are compliled into the video. There is much joy, laughter and some tears when watching how these young men and women have grown. Next event: Trinity Senior Video on Thursday...
