A MESSAGE FROM OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL MINISTRY
Dear Graduates,

You are unique, you are precious in God’s sight, and you are loved.

The Langley Avenue Church of God Sunday School is proud of you, for your accomplishment in graduating from grammar school, middle and junior high school, high school, or college.

You have made a transition and have overcome obstacles to achieve this goal in your life.  We are so very proud of you, all. As you enter into the next phase in your life remember this scripture, in Colossians 3:23-24, the verse teaches us to “Do everything with Excellence”.

Approach everything as if you are working for the Lord, not for human masters.  Work with all of your heart.  Pray when you wake up and before you sleep, with thanksgiving, asking God to show you the way to be excellent in all that you do. Then, you will receive His reward for your service.  You are representing Jesus as you work in this life.  God is interested in everything that you do! Stay encouraged. We are praying for you and we wait to hear the good news of your successes as you continue in your walk with the Lord.

Embarking on a journey which began some time ago, how could you have imagined all the things you’d come to know. You learned to use each challenge as on opportunity, to overcome each problem—despite adversity.

It wasn’t always easy keeping up with friends at school, but YOU held on to your beliefs, and followed “the golden rule.” You found your voice & chose a path that honors who you are. And that, I think, may be your greatest lesson learned thus far.
For no one could be prouder of the person you’ve become, and that is why I’m confident that the best is yet to come. May you never waste a moment wishing life was not unfair. Rather use the gifts God gave to you, to change the world out there.
Your Graduation signals us that you are on your way. So spread your wings and fly my dear, forever and a day!
