Garner Church

🇺🇸 Happy Memorial Day from Garner Church 🇺🇸

Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is a gift we can never fully repay — only humbly receive with gratitude.

As a church family, we are called to remember. To remember those who stood in the gap so that we could live freely. To remember the families who still carry the weight of that loss. And to remember that love — the kind that lays down its life for others — is the greatest love of all. (John 15:13)

Take a moment today to pray for Gold Star families, for our veterans, and for all who currently serve. Let us never forget the cost of freedom.

From all of us at Garner Church — thank you to those who served, and eternal rest to those who gave everything. 🙏

Today our church family pauses to celebrate something beautiful — every single one of our graduates, from our littlest kindergarten grads taking their first big step, to our high school and technical school graduates stepping into a new chapter, to those who have earned their master's degrees and doctorates after years of dedication and sacrifice.
We see you. We are so proud of you.
Whether you spent this year learning your letters or defending a dissertation, your hard work matters and your accomplishment is worth celebrating. Each of you reflects the gifts God has placed within you, and watching you grow has been one of the greatest joys of this community.
As you step into what's next — a new grade, a new campus, a new career, a new calling — we want you to remember this:
"Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." — Philippians 1:6
God is not finished with you. This milestone is not the end of the story — it's another chapter in the good work He has been writing in you since before you were born. Every lesson learned, every late night studied, every challenge overcome has been shaping you for what's ahead.
Our prayer for you:
May God go before you to make the way clear, walk beside you when the road feels uncertain, and stand behind you as your strength when you grow weary. May you carry His peace into every classroom, every workplace, every relationship, and every quiet moment. May your minds stay curious, your hearts stay tender, and your faith stay rooted no matter where life takes you.
You are not walking into the next chapter alone. God is with you — and so is your church family. We are praying for you, cheering for you, and always ready to welcome you home.
Congratulations, graduates. The good work continues. 🙌💙
Class of 2026 — we celebrate YOU!

What a great day to see God develop talent in our upcoming servants!
