WHAT A DAY!!!! 

• We celebrated our Seniors who will be graduating and starting the next phase of their journey. 
• We celebrated the kindergarten graduates,  as they start first grade. 
• We celebrated new members.

And then... We said goodbye to Patrick, Kari Ann, Sam, Abby and Daniel as they leave us to start their new work in Texarkana.  We will keep you in our hearts and prayers. 

Andy Garner, Jered Bagett and Patrick all spoke to our Seniors, but it was a lesson for us all:

• Lead like Jesus. 
• Honor God. 
• Take Jesus on your journey. 
• Trust where God plants you. 
• Go with God. 
• Always put your hope in God, not in man.
