Branch churches and societies all over are prayerfully considering how to support Sunday graduates as they transition to the services. Here are a few approaches. (Of course, many of these approaches can be taken even before a student graduates.)
• Celebrate a student's last day in Sunday School. One student I spoke with, attending a college far from home, said, "In the branch where I grew up, graduations were a really big, joyous celebration. Everyone got together in a park or at someone's home, and brought a dish to share. My last day in Sunday School in my college town was really hard. No one remembered that I was graduating except my mom."
• Welcome Sunday School graduates to their first service, perhaps by introducing them during the "necessary notices."
