Coming of Age Service 2009

It all went by so fast, it was nearly impossible for one camera to capture it all. Here are a few of the photos I've received so far. If you have photos from the service that you'd like to include in the Picasa album (here), drop Becky a line via email. Don't miss the audio links below, including Faith Statements from the youth!

Blessings and Declaration of Coming of Age 2009

Our Coming of Age worship service included not only Faith Statements for each of the graduating youth (listen below) but also Blessings from the minister, mentors and parents and a Declaration of Coming of Age to celebrate the accomplishments of group members. Listen to this portion of the service here:

Congratulations Coming of Age Class!

Congratulations to all the participants, leaders and families of Coming of Age! Not only did we enjoy a wonderful course this year, but ended with a bang with a spectacular celebration dinner and a truly moving worship service. In the coming days, I will post words and photos from the final portion of the program. Stay tuned!
