Awards Ceremony

The awardees and their parents and family are invited to the church for the Annual Scholars Sunday awards ceremony the Sunday the week before Memorial Day weekend. The ceremony becomes our church service, and the new scholars and their guests are the center of attention. There is a reception following the ceremony to celebrate our scholars.
