“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12 CSB)

This Sunday is Graduation Sunday, and we are so thankful to celebrate the 10 graduating high school seniors we have here at Antioch this year.

Graduation is one of those unique milestones in life that almost everyone remembers. For some of us, it feels like it was only yesterday. For others, it feels like another lifetime ago. Either way, most of us remember the mixture of excitement, uncertainty, freedom, responsibility, and possibility that came with stepping into a brand new season of life.

For these seniors, this moment marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. Some will head to college. Some will begin careers. Some may stay close to home, while others head far away. But wherever God leads them next, our prayer is that they would walk closely with Jesus, remain rooted in His Word, and continue following Christ in a life-changing way.

As a church family, we have the opportunity not only to celebrate them, but also to encourage them, pray for them, and remind them that they are deeply loved by their church.

Over the last few weeks, you've had the opportunity to sign their Senior Bibles. These are more than simply a graduation gift or keepsake. They are meant to be reminders that no matter where life takes them next, God’s Word remains true, steady, and trustworthy.

We hope that years from now, these seniors will open those Bibles, see the notes and encouragement from their church family, and be reminded of the people who prayed for them, believed in them, and pointed them toward Jesus.
