Gem State Academy Seniors Recognized

It’s funny… when you plan big events with creative people, ideas turn into reality. That is exactly what happened for the Senior Recognition weekend at Gem State Academy. Our theme for the weekend was “What Matters?”

The Friday night vespers was very intimate. Alumni that had gone to school with us, and Task Force volunteers that worked here during our time at Gem State, came back from college to speak to us about what matters now, and as we go to college.

For the church service, faculty members each took a few minutes to call up a senior and charge him or her to live a life for Christ. It was nice to hear how much the faculty desired that we know how important it is to have God in our lives. He’s with us no matter what, and that’s really all that matters for all eternity. •
