Celebrate our Graduates

To the Class of 2020—no one, especially you, would have ever dreamed you would finish out your high school career by completing classes online from home and being asked to not congregate with your friends making those final memories. You lost your 2020 Prom, spring sports seasons, and senior skip day just to name a few, but what you have gained is irreplaceable and unforgettable… Persistence and perseverance. These trying times of 2020 have found us relying even more on our faith and trust in the Lord and His promises to keep us safe. These moments find us looking back to events of the past. In the fall of your freshman year, you stood before your parents and your family of faith at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church as you professed your faith and affirmed your baptism. As I recall that day in your faith journey, I found myself looking back to the Bible verses you chose for that special day of Confirmation. Do you remember those words? As you go on to the next phase of your life journey, lets’ take a look back at the guiding words you choose… 

Now as you go on to become even greater, we hope and pray that you stay connected to your faith in Christ and to your family of faith. We are here to pray for you, cheer you on, and guide you in any way you need. 

Congratulations Class of 2020—you are blessed to be a blessing!

“For I was hungry, and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me some– thing to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me. Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when as it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you? And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’” ~Matthew 25:35-40
