High School Graduating Class of 2023
On Sunday, May 21, St. Luke's youth, adult leaders, and parents gathered in Founder's Hall to share some amazing memories and final words from our graduating seniors who have consistently engaged with St. Luke's Youth Ministry.
It was a time of worship and reflection as they truly left their mark not only on this ministry, but on our hearts. We know that God has so much in store for them and that they will carry Christ-centered acceptance, hospitality, community, discipleship, and service with them as they move on to the next phase in their lives.
“Remember, Class of 2023…don’t forget who you are. Don’t forget whose you are, and don’t forget where you came from…you have built your foundation here, in this place, your home, and through Christ and by the cross, we are forever connected!” - Brandon Sangster, Director of Youth Ministries
