The One About Making Senior Sunday More Than a Slideshow
Is Senior Sunday just a slideshow and a gift bag… or something more? In this episode, John and Ian talk through how to transform Graduation Sunday into a spiritually meaningful moment for your students, families, and entire church. From cap and gown walk-ins to commissioning prayers and student-led blessings, this conversation is packed with practical ideas and stories that will challenge you to reimagine what this milestone could be. Whether you’re scrambling to throw something together or trying to break out of a tired tradition, this episode will help you make it count.
What we cover:
• Why Senior Sunday matters more than you think
• The tension between showing up and ghosting
• Ways to involve parents, juniors, and the whole church
• How to give meaningful gifts
• The value of intergenerational blessing and commissioning
