Graduation and Bridging

Think about it – everyone is on their own path in life and we all cross different kinds of bridges.  This past Sunday we celebrated our two five year olds who graduated from preschool and will be joining the elementary program next year.  To celebrate all of the children sang the UU Principle Song and Magic Penny.

In the second part of worship we had a Bridging Ceremony for our high school seniors. The ceremony included handing them each a rose with thorns (because life can be pretty thorny at times), gardening gloves (because our congregation wants these young adults to know we are there for them), books (and bookmarks) to go along with each of their interests and hand painted mini chalices for them to take on their upcoming journeys.   Each senior took a few moments to tell the congregation where they are headed this summer and next year.

Thanks to all who helped to make this day special.
