This Week in Senior Bible:
Dear Senior Parents,
Well… this is it. This will be the final Senior Bible Newsletter for the Class of 2026. It is hard to believe how quickly this school year has gone, and even harder to believe that graduation is now just around the corner.
I want to take a moment to say what an incredible privilege it has been to teach and walk alongside this amazing group of young men and women this year. While I may have only played a small part in their educational and spiritual journey, I can honestly say that this class has left a lasting impression on me. Each student brought something unique to our classroom — different personalities, gifts, perspectives, talents, and stories — and it has truly been a joy getting to know them individually.
As a teacher, there are certain classes you remember because of the impact they make, and this senior class will absolutely be one of those groups for me. I have watched many of them grow in confidence, maturity, leadership, and spiritual understanding throughout the year. I have appreciated the thoughtful discussions, the laughter, the honesty, the questions, and even the moments where we wrestled through difficult topics together. Those moments are what make teaching so meaningful.
I also want to sincerely thank each of you as parents for your support throughout this school year. Your encouragement, communication, prayers, and partnership have meant more than you know. It is evident that these students have been shaped and supported by families who deeply care about them, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work alongside you this year.
This week in class, we worked through the first four chapters of Romans, diving into Paul’s powerful teaching on sin, grace, faith, and righteousness. Today, however, I spent some time simply challenging the seniors to pause and reflect on all that they have accomplished. In the rush of finals, graduation parties, future plans, and all the emotions that come with this season, it can be easy to move quickly to “what’s next” without stopping to recognize how significant this milestone really is.
I encouraged them to take a moment to appreciate what they have earned through years of hard work, perseverance, growth, and commitment. Graduation is not simply the end of high school — it is the beginning of a brand-new chapter in life. My prayer for each of them is that wherever God leads them next, they would continue to pursue Him wholeheartedly, remain grounded in truth, and never forget the foundation that has been laid during their time here at GCCS.
Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to teach your students this year. It has truly been an honor. I am excited to see what God has in store for the Class of 2026, and I have no doubt that they are capable of doing incredible things.
Have a wonderful weekend, and congratulations again on this exciting season for your families!
