Senior Celebration is the fifth and final Family Milestone, designed to equip, bless, and celebrate parents and their children in the high school phase of life, and encourage our church body to affirm families with graduating seniors.
This milestone includes a Parent Blessing, Senior Summit, Senior Testimonies, Senior Celebration Banquet, and Senior Blessing Service for families with a child graduating high school in the spring.
The Parent Blessing is a fall gathering of parents with incoming seniors. Parents receive prayer, a blessing for the year ahead, and a gift Bible for their senior. Parents are encouraged to acquire notes of blessings, favorite Scriptures and words of encouragements in the Bible, which is presented to the graduate at the Senior Celebration Banquet.
The Senior Summit is a surprise event for the seniors. The day is designed to give the graduates a special send off and blessing from the Student Ministry team.
The Senior Testimonies provide an opportunity for a graduating senior to share their testimony, encourage their peers, and give advice to the next generation of students at Oak Hills Church.
The Senior Celebration Banquet is the formal send-off dedicated to honoring our graduates and their families. A noted speaker offers a message with a final challenge to seniors and their parents. Parents, extended family members, and friends are given time to bless and pray with their graduates.
The Senior Blessing Service is presented in the worship service. During the service, seniors are invited onstage and receive a blessing and prayer from the church body as they launch into adulthood.
Senior Celebration events occur throughout the school year. Email Jennifer McKinney for more information!
