Graduates 2022
We are pleased to celebrate those Dearborn First UMC-connected folks graduating from various levels of academic pursuit this year. A lot of hard work and determination on the part of these students has brought them to these achievements. Plus, the support and care they have received from our faith community has helped them along the way.
In Proverbs 8 we read:
Does not wisdom call,
and does not understanding raise her voice?
This is a reminder that God desires great insight, expertise, and intellectual pursuits for all of us in whatever field we feel called. So we say thanks for that call, and congratulations to Anna, Keira, Madison and others from our community who are pursuing wisdom for goodness in the world!
