“CROSSING THE THRESHOLD”
Rev. Lyn Burton & Janis Cheney
A threshold is a place or point of entering or beginning. This Sunday we celebrate our high school Seniors by our annual Bridging Ceremony in which their achievements are honored and their plans for the future blessed and celebrated. While graduation represents a clear transition for our young adults, we all encounter transitions - beginnings - thresholds throughout our lives as individuals and as a community. How do we recognize, celebrate and bless these significant crossings?
