Hello Graduates of 2020.
First, congratulations. Whether you are concluding grade school, high school, college or graduate school, you are at a major turn in the journey that is your life. And that means you cannot be sure of what is around the corner. There will be surprises and challenges in the next stage of the journey; may the accomplishments that this graduation honors give you confidence as you meet new opportunities. You can know one thing at least – that your parents and families are proud of you and what you have accomplished and are full of hope for what is next.
And we, your church family, wish you happiness and a clear focus for whatever lies ahead. Well done for all that is in the past, and blessing and excitement for what lies ahead. We wish you God’s good companionship as you celebrate, as you give thanks, and as you dream your way into your own future.
On behalf of the People of Trinity Church, grace and courage,
Bishop Martin Townsend
Interim Rector
