Senior Sunday and Time to Say Goodbye

So I am sitting here before service and though today’s schedule is no different than any other Sunday we have had over the last 8 years. The band is practicing, someone is picking up trash and the faint conversations fill the air. It is a sad feeling sitting her, in a few hours the students will all arrive and fill the seats of the sanctuary. But today will be different we will commission our students who are traveling overseas and stateside for missions, we will celebrate with those who have graduated, and the hardest part will be the moment we say good-bye. Not good-bye for the summer or for a few months; but good-bye for now. This is our last Sunday our last Bridge service as staff and though we have no clue where God is leading we are ready to follow and excited for the future.
