Students, I am so proud of you and I am grateful for your

investment in Richland Creek Community Church. I am excited about the opportunities you have as you enter into the next stage of your life. I know

that these past four years have brought about many changes and some difficult days, but you have

persevered and pressed on to achieve your goal. Ephesians 6 teaches us to put on the armor of God in order to stand firm in the day of adversity. My prayer for you is that you would build your entire life upon His Word so that you will stand firm in your faith until the end and hear Jesus say, “Well

done, good and faithful servant.”

Pastor Stephen Moye

A Prayer for Graduates: We pray for our graduates today and lift them before you. We thank you so much for these we love and for the work you are continuing to do in their lives. They are a gift to us and to many others. And during this season of new beginnings, we ask that you would

make their way clear. We ask that you would keep their footsteps firm and remind them that you are with them, always. May they sense the freshness of your Spirit over their lives in amazing ways, may they be strengthened, instilled with hope, for the new roads you have in store. We ask for your wisdom and clear direction over their

lives, that you would give them understanding beyond their years. Thank you that your timing is perfect. We pray that you would direct their steps, that your plans

for them would prosper; that every place you have determined for them to walk would be paved clear. We ask for you to open doors that need to be opened and close each one that should be shut tight. Allow every gift and treasure you have placed inside their lives to grow, develop, and flourish. May they feel your peace

and security. Amen.
