The Graduate

Our daughter, Beth, just graduated from college. Here's a recap of her day:

This graduation ceremony was one of the best I've ever attended! It's very much like a church service, with special music, a song including the congregation, and a message from Pastor Chappell to the graduates. Then the fun of receiving diplomas begins - and with 200 students, it takes a while! 

After the diplomas are presented, there are several awards presented to the students. Most of the student awards are given during chapel the day before graduation. Beth was included in Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities, and her grandparents were there to see her receive that honour, while we were still traveling. 

During the graduation ceremony, the highlight of the awards is the President's Award, given to one man and one woman graduate who each showed extraordinary servant-leadership, which is a central theme of WCBC's training. Beth was this year's woman recipient! That was a highlight of her graduation for me!

I'll have more pictures later of the rest of our family, but I wanted to share the pictures of Beth with you today. There's a caption with each picture explaining what's happening in that pic. Enjoy!

Congratulations to Beth! I believe I started reading your blog about the time she went to WCBC as a freshman. Time flies. :) Oh! And I like your new website!

    I'm the wife of an independent Baptist pastor, mom of three adult children, Grammy to one little girl and another girl due in the spring of 2018. I love to read and sew. And laugh. A lot.
