Graduation--Corona Style

This year there have been so many new "firsts." With COVID-19 we are all trying to find ways to celebrate birthdays, go shop, have church etc. Graduation was no different. A few weeks ago I was pressure washing the house and thought about our graduates from our local congregation. I thought we should be able to share an experience with them so they knew they were/are loved and we are proud of them. 

Several of the other leaders and parents of the graduates pitched in and made that vision a reality. It was amazing!  We planned the parade around the chapel parking lot. This allowed for families to be there and greet guests while maintaining social distancing requirements.

 I did some preparation by painting some signs with the graduates' names. And we created "survival" bags for them as they start their new adventures.

 I loved seeing their smiling faces and all the family and friends that came to support them!
