Today we celebrated our graduates of 2021, Jordan Hadix and Mackenzie Pepitone.
From the time they were babies, both of these young women, attended church with their families. They came to Sunday school, took their First Communion, and joined the church on Confirmation Day.
This year’s graduates are entering a world that has changed dramatically. Mackenzie was able to join us in church, all the way from California because of the new technology that we are fortunate to have installed in the Sanctuary. Jordan’s presence in church was a blessing and brought smiles from the entire congregation. We had a beautiful day to meet with her outside on the lawn and share memories, well wishes and lots of cupcakes.
It was especially nice to have Jayden Pepitone join us today. Jayden has been a faithful member of FPC since he was a little boy. Whenever he returns home, we find Jayden sitting in the congregation. Today, he came to honor his sister on her special day and share some of his own memories of Sunday school.
Jordan, Mackenzie and Jayden teach us that our children have grown to love us here at FPC and we should be grateful to have young women and men who are ready to lead us into the future. They are prepared to take on this ever changing world because they are grounded in their faith and have Jesus at their side.
