All graduating seniors from Healdsburg High School and the participating churches, their families, and friends are invited to a Baccalaureate Service on Sunday, May 19 at 7 pm at the Healdsburg Community Church, 1100 University Avenue.
Participating churches are: Healdsburg Community Church, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Calvary Chapel, Healdsburg Seventh-Day Adventist Church, Hope Chapel, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
Clergy from each of the participating churches will contribute to the service, one of many programs organized and hosted by Healdsburg Shared Ministries. The meditation will be given by Pastor Clint Lutz of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church.
Chris Vanden Heuvel, Principal of Healdsburg High School, will deliver remarks to honor the graduating senior class, including acknowledging each graduate in attendance individually.
The three recipients of Healdsburg Shared Ministries scholarship awards will be announced.
Traditionally a Baccalaureate Service is held before Commencement to wish farewell to graduates before they embark on the next phase of their lives. It is an important acknowledgement of the spiritual contribution to the education of the whole person.
