Dear Senior Student and Family,
As you approach the exciting milestone of graduating from high school, we at St. John Lutheran Church would like to celebrate your achievements and support you in the next steps of your journey. We invite you to participate in several upcoming events on May 17, 2026, honoring our graduating seniors.
- Senior Breakfast
Join us for a special Senior Breakfast at 7:45 a.m. in the Fellowship Room, where we will gather with you and your immediate family to celebrate your accomplishments, share memories, and pray for God’s guidance as you enter this new chapter.
- Church Acknowledgment
We are proud to recognize all our graduating seniors during our 9:00 a.m. service. This is a wonderful opportunity for the congregation to honor your hard work, faith, and contributions to our church community.
- Deb Maxey Scholarship Recipients
We will also celebrate our scholarship recipients during our 11:00 a.m. service, when Steve Maxey will recognize the 2026 Deb Maxey Scholarship Recipients.
To help us highlight your journey and celebrate you appropriately, we kindly ask that you complete the Senior Graduate Questionnaire. This includes questions about your high school experiences, extracurricular activities, influential mentors, favorite Bible verses, and post-graduation plans. Your responses will allow us to share your story with the congregation and honor you fully.
Please return the completed questionnaire by April 12, 2026. You may submit it via email to business.admin@stjohndefiance.com or drop it off at the church office, along with a senior photo for the slideshow.
Additionally, please let the church office know by May 1, 2026 if you will be attending the Senior Breakfast and how many family members will be joining you.
We look forward to celebrating you and all that God has done in your life. Congratulations on reaching this exciting milestone!
