Columbus Ministerial Alliance invites community to honor Columbus graduating senior class of 2026.
The Columbus Ministerial Alliance warmly invites the community to gather in celebration and prayer for the Columbus High School Class of 2026 at a special Baccalaureate Service: 6:30 p.m. Sunday, May 17, St. Paul Lutheran Church, 201 Veterans Drive, Columbus. Graduates are to arrive by 6:15 pm in cap and gown.
This meaningful tradition offers an opportunity for graduates, families, and friends to come together in gratitude and reflection as seniors prepare to take their next steps in life. The evening will feature Pastor Joel Usher of Glidden Baptist Church as the guest speaker, bringing a message of encouragement and faith to the graduating class.
Members of the Class of 2026 will take part in the service by offering prayers and reading scripture, making the event especially personal and significant. The service is designed to uplift and support students as they transition from high school into new opportunities and responsibilities.
All family members, friends, and community residents are encouraged to attend and show their support for these young men and women. The Baccalaureate Service is a time to celebrate accomplishments, reflect on shared values, and offer blessings for the future.
For many, this cherished gathering serves as a reminder of the strength found in community and faith as the Class of 2026 embarks on the next chapter of their journey.
