Baccalaureate Sunday

Sun, May 18, 2008

Graduation is almost here and it is our honor to invite your graduating senior to participate in Mt. Bethel’s Baccalaureate Sunday on May 18th.  This day will offer many chances to celebrate your student and the impact Christ has had on their lives as they move forward.

The day will progress as follows.  Students will begin in room A23 to get ready and line up for their service.  Due to the number of Mt. Bethel seniors we will need to divide the class between the 9:30 a.m. and the 11:00 a.m. worship services.  Immediately following the 11am service, family and students are asked to gather in the Sanctuary for a special video tribute to all of our graduating seniors.  When the video is over there will be a delicious brunch in the Fellowship Hall.  That evening there will also be a chance for just the seniors to spend time with the Student Ministry staff at a special dinner.

The Service: Seniors should wear their cap and gown and gather in A23 no later than 30 minutes prior to their assigned service (that’s 9:00 for the 9:30 service and 10:30 for the 11:00 service).  A23 is below the Sanctuary.  Take either the elevator or the stairs outside the Sanctuary doors and follow the signs. We suggest that all collars be pinned on the ladies gowns prior to arrival.   Family and friends will want to be in the sanctuary early to get a good seat.  Please indicate on the enclosed reservation form which service you prefer to attend.  We will make every effort to give you your requested service.  You will be notified only if your requested service is not available.  We assign the services based on when we receive your reservation so the sooner you respond the better, but we need your Baccalaureate Reservation Form by May 4, 2008.

The Video: Please return to the sanctuary or stay seated after the 11am worship service to enjoy the video tribute.  That’s where your part comes in.  Please send us 4 pictures of your graduate in all their glory from birth right up to the present day.  Be sure to include their senior picture.  These pictures can be funny, touching, goofy, or cute ....you decide.  Please have your pictures scanned and saved on a CD as a “jpeg” file.  (Kinko’s will scan and save to a disk for a nominal fee.)  Please make sure your CD’s are CLEARLY labeled with your senior’s name.  The deadline to submit pictures is Sunday, May 4.

The Brunch: After the video tribute we will all be dismissed to the Fellowship Hall for brunch together.  This is a time to fellowship with the other Mt. Bethel seniors and their families as we enjoy the blessing of our wonderful food department here at the church.  Please indicate how many friends and family members will be attending on the form included with this letter.  Again, all reservations are due May 4th, 2008.

Senior Night: Baccalaureate Sunday will conclude with Senior Night at Day|One.  We will be making reservations for dinner and must have your R.S.V.P. by May 4th (Please reserve on the form provided).  Our plans for the night will be determined by the number of Seniors attending.  We will contact those with reservations with all the details - when, where, etc.

If you have any questions, please contact Shannon Herring.
