Today we celebrate our twelfth graders as they reach the milestone of high school graduation. Together, we will rejoice in who these young people are and also celebrate what awaits them. As is our UU tradition, we will “Bridge” our graduating youth into young adulthood. Come gather in multigenerational community with Revs. Leia and Linda to hear about the transformational power we can find in Crossing Bridges. Our senior high youth will help craft this service.
