Emmanuel Baptist Church honored college, high school, middle and elementary school students who have excelled during the school year.
The Sunday School Department and the Board of Christian Education teamed up to honor the graduates and other achievers with awards, a special youth service and a reception, on National Youth Sunday, June 11.
The Rev. Larry Brown, who just completed his Master’s of Divinity degree at Wake Forest University, spoke. His topic was “The Battles They Fought; The Fight We are In.” His text came from I Chronicles 12:23, 32 and Proverbs 4:7.
Pastor John Mendez, Gayle Hosch and Kimberly Crocker recognized the graduates, who made their entrance in graduation robes from various high schools and colleges.
Achievers from high school, middle school and elementary school stood as an honor pool to be praised for their achievements.
