I was blessed with the opportunity to hand out diplomas to the New Life Christian School sixth-graders on Wednesday night. Graduations down here, at whatever level, are a very formal occasion and during the procession, graduates are accompanied by their parents. The event Wednesday was also the closing program for grades 1-6, so it was quite long--almost two hours--with each grade presenting a drama, song, dance or other type of entertainment. Stephen and William provided the music for the sixth-grade song, "God my Rock," by Paul Baloche.
Here are some pictures of the night. It was awesome seeing the graduates so dressed up and looking like young adults.
