Neighborhood Sendoff

George and Alyssa Petrie started the tradition of gathering neighbors for a sendoff to pray for their girls before they headed off to college, so we made sure to keep that going with an event tonight to honor the four graduates in our neighborhood (Jane, Ellie, Hendrik, and Anna) who are all heading to college in the near future.  It was such a gift to all of us. ❤

We set up tables to have everyone sign a paper that said "You are loved" and we gave the graduates two frames (one with the "you are loved" paper and one with a map of the UDistrict and a copy of the liturgy that I used for tonight.) 

grateful for the faithful prayers of this neighborhood
