Congrats Church School, BYG Leads, and Grads! – Blaine Memorial United Methodist Church

Celebrating our Church School, BYG Leaders, and Graduates of 2023!

By Rev. Mia MiKyung Park, Associate Pastor

As we rapidly approach the end of the fall 2022-Spring 2023 school year, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our Church School teachers and youth group leaders. Throughout this post pandemic year, we have encountered numerous challenges, twists, and turns, but we have navigated them all with God’s grace and integrity. I am truly grateful for the entire church community coming together, united in faith. I want to extend a huge thank you to our Church School teachers and the members of the BYG Leadership team. Their dedication and love for our children and youth are immeasurable. When I think of Christian Education, the lyrics of the Hymn of Promise come to mind:

“In the bulb, there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; In cocoons, a hidden promise; butterflies will soon be free.”

I am filled with hope as I witness our children and youth growing in God’s love and grace, knowing that they are nurtured by our care and prayers. It brings me immense joy to reflect on another abundant and blessed year, and I want to take this opportunity to give a resounding shoutout to our Church School teachers and BYG Leadership team once again! Thank you so much for your dedicated hearts, all teachers and leaders!
