Celebrating Our Seniors – A Sunday to Remember
Today, April 27, 2025, was Senior Sunday at FBC Blanco.
At 9:00 AM, our Fellowship Hall was buzzing with excitement (and the smell of good breakfast, let's be real) as we gathered to honor twelve incredible students and their families. Every single senior showed up — not just in attendance, but in spirit. Watching them, standing tall at the edge of adulthood, was honestly nothing short of a blessing.

We kicked off the morning by celebrating each student’s individual journey. Every senior was recognized, their successes honored, and most importantly, they were prayed over — individually, intentionally, and passionately.
The turnout? Incredible. The spirit? Unmistakable. God’s presence? Undeniable.

Later on, during our Worship Service, the entire congregation got a chance to rally around our seniors. Gary led a powerful prayer, inviting youth leaders, mentors, and anyone who had poured into these students' lives to come forward. Hands were laid. Tears were shed. Hearts were wide open.
Gary’s prayer was a raw, beautiful commission — asking the Lord to anoint the next steps of these students. Whether they are heading to college, the workforce, the military, the police academy, or places still unknown, we trust that God goes before them. We prayed for their choices, their challenges, and their victories yet to come.

We also prayed for the parents — for the inevitable void that will be left in their homes and hearts as their children step into the world. We asked God to fill those spaces with His hope, His strength, and His unshakable peace.
Gary also challenged us — the church — not to just be pew-sitters, but active participants. Praying, supporting, investing in the lives of these young people. Because that's what the Church is called to do: to be the hands and feet of Christ.
Today, we didn't just celebrate the end of a chapter. We commissioned a new generation to go out and prosper in all that they do. And let me tell you — if today was any sign — their futures are bright.
To our seniors: We love you. We’re proud of you. And we’re with you, every step of the way.
Keep chasing Jesus. The best is yet to come.
