There were scripture readings by Hannah Peterson of Hebrews 3:13 followed by Matthew Mueller who read 1 Corinthians 13. Allie Curtis read her testimony, whcih caused a standing ovation followed by a third scripture reading by Nathan Harvill of Psalm 23. Slow Down, a video by Nicole Nordemanm, was played and left the audience in tears. Staff member Chris Scott spoke, before another performance by Lane and Coffman of “It Is Well” by Bethel Music. Pastor Tim Young closed and the seniors were dismissed to go outside and get photos with their family and friends after a prayer by Pastor Young to send them off into their future.
