EUMC 2020 GRADUATES Update - May 22, 2020

2020 GRADUATES

Hey Epiphany UMC Family,

SOME FINAL CORRECTIONS ARE IN BOLD IN THE LIST BELOW.

Of all the people I think this pandemic is hitting the hardest, our High School and College Seniors are near the top of the list. This is the time of the year where I am inundated with invitations to graduation parties and celebrations. Unfortunately, many of these will not happen in the way that the graduates had hoped for.

So here is my idea: We will be honoring the graduates in the services on the weekend of May 30/31. Unfortunately we will not be able to do this in the sanctuary.

Below is a list of all of our graduates. Between now and May 29th I would like to encourage everyone to send in letters of encouragement, cards, gift cards, etc. for any of the one's on the list you feel inspired to do this for. I will place a container underneath the overhang in the back of the church marked "2020 Graduates". If you would be willing to drop off your letters there, or in the office during office hours, at any time between now and May 29th that would be awesome! On May 31, at 12 noon, we will host a "drive-by gradation party" where the graduates can drive through the church parking lot under the overhang and we will present them with a gift bag full of letters, cards and gifts, pray over them, and send them off.

So, Epiphany family, many mission opportunities have come to a grinding halt because of this pandemic. Now, if we can put the time and energy into this as if it were Super Service Saturday, combined with all the other missions we would be doing through the month of May, that would be so awesome. LET'S SHOW OUR LOVE TO THESE GRADUATES!

Parents of graduates, you are welcome to include anyone else you would like with this email. The more letters, the better!

Grace and peace,

Pastor Scott
