SUMMARY:Baccalaureate at CMLC — Sunday\, May 31 at 3:00 PM
DESCRIPTION:Graduation season is here\, and we’re honored to open our doors to the Brandywine Heights High School community for their Baccalaureate Service on Sunday\, May 31 at 3:00 PM.\nBaccalaureate is one of those rare moments when a community pauses — just before the caps get thrown and the party starts — to take a breath\, say a prayer\, and send these young people off with something more than a handshake and a diploma. We think that’s worth showing up for. \nProud parents\, grandparents who’ve been counting down to this day\, teachers who poured themselves into these kids — you’re all welcome here. Come celebrate. Come pray. Come wish them well from the soul\, not just the stands. \nSunday\, May 31 · 3:00 PM · Christ Mertz Lutheran Church
