President’s graduation message:
Graduating from Sanctuary to Sanctifying
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
Every morning, on the way through the doors of Rhema Christian School, our graduates have passed before the declaration “To God Be The Glory” etched into the symbolic cornerstone of the school. The declaration speaks to our tradition of doing all we do for the sake of sanctifying the world around us for the purposes of the Lord.

When we act on the promise of those words we bring the hand of God onto all that is around us. We apply the hands, hearts and minds God gave us to make all that we come into contact with a work dedicated to His Glory, His Will, His Way. As you leave us, graduates, and step out of the sanctuary we have worked together to build at Rhema, know you will discover new and unfamiliar worlds. You will be confronted by new ideas, new people, and the challenge will further draw out and refine the divine spark inside you.

Remember always the lessons learned here at Rhema. Know that just as we once stood before you as a young child entering into school, we now stand behind you in support and in love. Know we remember you and await your return and the stories of how you have grown and touched the world.

As you graduate from being in sanctuary to being a sanctifier take joy in expressing the gifts and talents God gave you. As you do you will bring a holy touch into the world, that touch given to each of you as followers of Christ and His Way. God Bless you all on your graduation day.
