PRESS RELEASE by Jay Coffman
Baldwin City
-- This will be the 26th year a baccalaureate will be
provided by the Baldwin Baccalaureate Committee for the graduating
class of Baldwin High School. The occasion provides an exciting and
inspiring view of their future from a non-denominational Christian
perspective and it is one more time the class could be together
before the end of their secondary education career.
This year’s Baccalaureate will be held on Wednesday, May 9th
at 7:30 pm in the New Life Assembly of God Church at 5th
and Baker Street, Baldwin City. The message will be given by Pastor
Tom Greenwald, Youth Minister at Community Covenant Church in Lenexa.
The public is
invited to join the graduates and their relatives for this event. A
reception will follow in the fellowship hall with cookies and punch
provided.
The first
baccalaureate in 1993 was begun by Doris Miller, then editor of the
Baldwin Ledger, and Jay Coffman, BHS class of 1986. Mr. Coffman has
chaired the committee every year since. For many years, the event
was held in USD 348 facilities. Scheduling complications in recent
years and the inception of rental costs for the Performing Arts
Center this year, forced the event to be moved. Pastor Mark Halford
and the congregation of the New Life Assembly of God church
graciously offered their facility.
Free will
donations for future events can be given at the door, to committee
members, or to the Baccalaureate Fund at the Baldwin State Bank.
