Holy and Gracious God, we present before you these graduates, and we ask for your blessing.
Yesterday they were our children.
We took vows at their baptism.
We made crafts with them at Vacation Bible School.
Yesterday they were our teenagers, making too much noise and growing up too fast.
Today, when they are no longer children and not yet adults, we place them again in Your hands.
We thank you for their families, their teachers and coaches. We thank you for friendships formed
That will last the rest of their lives. As tomorrow beckons, may their paths be guided by Your love,
Their perspective shaped by Your hope, and their hearts grounded in Your peace.
Thank you for who they have been, who they are before us now, and who you are calling them to be. We offer these prayers in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
