The Sun Valley congregation, in California, US, held a special service to honor their children when they graduated. They were blessed and celebrated by the entire congregation. It was a wonderful way to show the children that they are valued and held as a high priority in the church family.
Now it’s back-to-school season for our congregations in the Northern Hemisphere. So, these rising first graders, rising sixth graders (middle school), and rising freshman (high school) in Sun Valley are headed back into the classroom, with all its joys and challenges.
See the portraits of the graduates below. Thank you, Brenda Benitez, for your devoted service to the Kids Ministry and for sharing this story so our Update readers can celebrate with Sun Valley.
Join us in praying for the children in Sun Valley and for all the children in our lives, as they go back to school. Do you have an intentional prayer practice for the children in your life? How will you demonstrate your love for them as they return to school?
(In Southern Hemisphere countries, the school year typically runs from February or March to November or December.)
