June 20, after church the Christian Education committee hosted a grad brunch for our 2009 and 2010 grads and their families.  5 out of 9 grads were able to join us.  This was a wonderful occasion to celebrate our relationship with these young folk and the journey we have been on together.  We honoured them in church which was great as they often do not make it to church on Sunday mornings because that usually time for them sleep in!   I offered a liturgy following the brunch which invited them to reflect on what they wish to leave behind and what they will take with them.  We gave them cups which those around the table whispered their blessings into.  The youth really valued this opportunity to be together and remember the importance this church community has been to them as they embark on the next stage of their life and faith journey.  The families also really appreciated the time together, and the offering of this gathering in the community.  When asked what they are thankful for or what they appreciated about Sunset, one of the grads reflected on how great it is to be able to be both a leader and a learner.  She is one of our youth leaders who also enjoys helping and attending Sunday school.  We are blessed to have these folk in our midst and when we don't see them Sunday mornings, we can forget how important they are to our community and that they are still a vital part of or community.  May we always remember this.
