 In today’s world it sometimes is a challenge to have hope. In chapter 29 verse 11, Jeremiah tells us: "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 hope and a future." With God, this church wants to extend blessings to each of our graduates recognized today that they may prosper in all that they do. We pray that they know that we will always be here for them and they can call this church… home. We will continue to pray for them, care for them no matter where they go, and we wish them great success in all of their future endeavors. We pray that they will remember what they have learned in their earlier years and seek God’s will for their lives in everything that they do.
