We have several high school and college graduates in our church family this year. We honored them with a time of celebration and devotion, and showered them not only with gifts, but with wise counsel and prayer.

The honorees this year are high school graduates LaShaad Hopewell, Chuck James, Zach Lowe, and Amanda Marone. We also honored Lindsey Catlett who has earned a Bachelor’s degree, and Stephanie Weberg who has earned an Associate’s degree.

This afternoon Dave and Donya Lowe invited everyone to an open house at their home in celebration of their son Zach’s graduation from high school.

Following the morning service, girls in grades 6–12 went to Sweet Frog in Dahlgren! Betsy Crookshank and Lorri Foster hosted the girls, and expenses were covered by the Youth Fund.

This evening we fellowshiped with missionaries PV and Aruna Joseph. They gave a slide presentation and wonderful talk on their opportunity to create missionaries and reach local children through the Joseph’s schools in India.

During the Morning Service, PV Joseph taught the Word. PV and his wife Aruna are church planters in India, and have established a seminary there.
