All are invited to an ecumenical community Baccalaureate Service celebrating the Gilbert High School Class of 2026. The service will be held at Gilbert Lutheran Church on Wednesday, May 13, at 7:00 p.m.

This non-denominational celebration brings together graduating students, their families, school staff and the wider community. Through music, scripture, prayer, and reflection, we give thanks to God for our graduates and ask for guidance, care and grace as they enter the next stage of life.

Reflections will be shared by student speaker Evie Christenson, high school staff member Nate Graham and community pastor Mark Vance. Music will be provided by Gilbert High School’s Tiger Voices, community members Jacob Boyd and Abigail Randall, the Gilbert Lutheran Church Quartet and Amanda Jennings.

An offering will be received during the service. Gifts will benefit the Tru-Hero Memorial – Inspired by Kindness, Driven by Courage Fund. This memorial honors Darrell Trujillo, the late husband of Gilbert Community School District Superintendent Christine Trujillo. Contributions will help continue sharing Darrell’s courageous spirit and kindness throughout the community.

Refreshments will be served following the service.

Again, all are invited to attend this service.

What’s been billed as the "Great Kit Kat Heist" occurred last Thursday. Approximately 12 tons (over 410,000 bars!) of Formula 1-themed Kit Kat bars were stolen while in transit. The truck was traveling from central Italy to Poland when it was hijacked. The heist was confirmed by Nestlé on Saturday. As far as we know, the Kit Kats have not yet been recovered.

Since then, all sorts of light-hearted memes have popped up on social media. You likely have seen some of these "statements" from various companies and organizations.

So, in that spirit, we’re sharing “Stories and Kit Kats for God’s Children” from Sunday. Please know we aren't downplaying the loss – we sincerely hope the Kit Kats are found soon. We hope too that this brought a little brightness to your week and a bit of joy to this April Fools’ Day.

The heavens are telling the glory of God (Psalm 19:1). There sure was a lot of telling and all kinds of glory last night over the skies of Gilbert!
