What an amazing weekend at Journey Church // Kenosha.
Thursday night's 6th grade graduation from our Christian Life's (www.kenoshachristianlife.org) elementary school was a great time, watching 72 students ready themselves for upper school. My thanks to elementary principal, Christie Gould for her great work.
Friday night's graduation of 67 high school seniors from Christian Life School was super-exciting, with hundreds in attendance. The speeches given by Valedictorian Rebecca Johnson and Salutatorian Sam Merlock were some of the finest I've heard in many years. The combined offers of scholarships and grants to this class totaled over $2 million. I was privileged to give the graduation address to the class of '14 and spoke on servanthood, ultimately washing the feet of one of the graduates, Mathew George. I'm proud of Susan Nelson and Troy Tennyson, (administrator and upper school principal) and the entire Christian Life School team for the way they lead our students.
Today was the first graduating class of our Journey Ministry College (www.journeycollege.com). Six students graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and one student received her Master's Degree in Biblical Studies. This was the fulfillment of a dream and a vision God gave us years ago to bring education back to the church and personalize it for students in our local setting, ultimately sending out ministers of the Gospel to reach our world.
I can't express how proud I am of these seven:
Beatrice Desimoni (Masters)
Cortney Dlapa
Cassie Littel
Kyle Littel
Cait Mertens
Nick Svehla
Joshua Thompson
Deepest thanks to Pastor Gabe Mills (College Director) and Shari Gunhus (Admin) for their leadership of the college.
Onward and upward.
And be blessed.
